long weeks are long - day 5

So this week has seemed to go on forever, it's been insane with everything going on this week. It's the week before my internship and there's been a lot of stuff going on.

We put a laminated map out and asked people to mark where they have been, and where they would live/vacation and study. It was a really cool project because by the end of the day the map was covered with all different colors. It was also interesting to see the different places that people have been and to even hear the stories that went along with them. For example, someone marked off Iraq and said that it was the war zone. It was interesting because I didn't really know much about where he had gone. In some ways it was frustrating because Ireland, Italy and England consistently would be filled up when there are so many other places in the world. However, when people would come along and put down Kenya or Thailand for where they want to go, it was really even more interesting. We may do it a few more times in the coming semester and next year which would be a fun project.

long days of class are long - day 3

Today was such a long day. tuesdays and thursdays i have 9 hours of class and it is never ending, or so it seems. I take Culture of Spain, Business Mgmt, and Quantitative and Qualitative Research Methods from 9:35-2:10 then I have Macro from 6:45-9:55. It's a lot of class in a day, not to mention getting everything else that I have to get done in between. It's all good though. I'll only retain like 50% of what I'm learning but i guess that's how it goes. I actually enjoy my classes for the most part. I would like it better if we didn't have homework...or grades for that matter, but that besides the point. We can't all get what we want. 

Tomorrow's going to be an early day...so i'm keeping this short, even though I said it would be longer. Although tomorrow I'll be sitting at a table for 4 hours, so I'll be able to write a long blog then.

Ciao!

Longest day ever...and it's still going.

I'm working on defining like 100+ definitions for macro at the moment...I'm going to work on that and do a long post tomorrow.

Today was so busy but a lot of fun. I learned a lot about the Mount community, learned what it's like to wear fatal vision goggles. bonded with Amanda and was ready to shoot a few people. I also had a class about my trip to New Zealand...o yea, it's official! I'm going to NZ!!!

 Now...i'm writing those definitions. Argggghhhh

fail blog is fail...day 1 again?

SOOOOO clearly I kinda suck at this. But I'm going to give myself a mulligan and try again...I'll even start over completely.

I'm going to keep this short since I do need to go to bed. But I'm excited for what's actually coming. I know I say that a lot, but it's true. I have so much going on in my life right now. I've got a ton of stuff coming up and going on, I've got class work, International Education Week, I'm applying for jobs in all different places, I decided to start the push-up challenge, work on the blog again...a whole host of things. I'm going to really commit here. I've decided to leave notes all around my room reminding me to post a blog and to keep up with the challenge.

November 6...Mulligan Day!!!
