So I'm back home in Beaverton and there's more snow here than there was in Switzerland.  The roads are just sheets of ice in our neighborhood and I really hope the temperatures rise because I don't want to be stuck in the house too much longer.  But it is nice to be back, it feels good.  I got to help decorate the Christmas tree last night and I  ( Read more... )

 I am completely done with classes.  It feels good.  All I have left is to finish writing those papers, do that business case, take that one final and my fall semester will be over.  I get into Oregon late on the 15th and I leave again on Jan. 8th to go see Jacci in Missouri (yay!).  I'll be back in Switzerland on the 13th and the whole thing will ( Read more... )

 I decided not to go to class today on account of snow.  I just didn't want to walk up the hill in the snow for two classes that I don't get anything out of except frustration.  So I didn't and I feel pretty good about it ( Read more... )

 Greece was so nice.  Kandyce and I spent three days on the island of Santorini and we just chilled and had adventures on the little island and met a lot of really nice people.  It was exactly the kind of break that we needed.  I highly recommend Greece.  So we're back now and we have exactly one more week of classes.  I will be heading back to the ( Read more... )

 Even though yesterday was Tuesday, it was pretty much my Friday because Kandyce and I are leaving today for our Thanksgiving getaway!  I don't know about you, but I am DEFINITELY ready for a break from all this.  We're spending the next 4 days in Greece, where we can hopefully find some warmer weather (it is freaking cold here) and just leave all ( Read more... )

 I'm really tired of stupid boys.  Not all boys, just the stupid ones.  Specifically the ones in my International Management class.  Including the professor.

And December is in like a week.  Which means there are about 3 weeks before I head back to the states.  Wow. 

 I wish November didn't seem so scary to me.  And I wish I didn't have to jump through all these hoops in the whole grad school application thing.  And I wish that my two business classes weren't slowing depriving me of the will to live.  And I wish that the heat was turned on in our room ( Read more... )

OK, so here it is.  Chile was.....not a very good travel.  Most of the plans that Prof. Hale made fell through and his Chilean colleagues pretty much abandonned us.  But even besides that, we spent about 7 of our 10 days in the city of Concepcion which according to his travel book is the ugliest city in the country.  There is just so much cool ( Read more... )

 I'm starting to turn into one of those anti-social seniors that just wants to stay inside and not interact with people.  I don't think that's necessarily a good thing ( Read more... )

 For the first time in four years I ate some of the grapes in that covered walkway behind Giardino.  They were as good as I've always thought they would be ( Read more... )
