this week in review

I have never been challenged academically like I was this past week. Writing my midterm for Indigenous People was difficult but rewarding. I was able to make direct application of course content to the Inuit, galvanizing the information in my little noggin. The presentation on Melbourne for my business class was a joke. It didn't take me that long to do my portion, and I think we did pretty well. I took my world religions Midterm, I don't think I did very well since I was falling asleep due to the all night-er I pulled (how college of me). An article review for Ethnic Relations over Muslim Americans wearing hijab and its contribution to forming a contemporary blended identity. Art History... blah bla bla blaha blah.

I am ready for two days of relaxation and drinking, then hitting the HW again. Wicka wow.

booted.

Well, Erika kicked nearly everyone out of class today (Sarah didn't). No one had read the article she assigned, something like five days ago. I felt bad because my 'side' of the classroom are the ones that always read and are pretty engaged in discussion. This weekend just wasn't for me. I wasn't sitting around, I was genuinely doing homework- just didn't have to time to read the articles. But tonight is going pretty different so far. I am doing homework now (besides writing this). Good for me.

Sorry Erika!

pour mars

Well, March is here. It came in cold as fuck, hopefully I'll be in shorts and flip-flops by April.

New banner up today. This one, unfortunately, I did touch up- I couldn't resist. I don't like to manipulate pictures to much, but I decided to have some fun this time. You can find the original here.

This is the Mombasa skyline seen from the roof of my hotel, where Hallie and I stayed in our mold infested room. We woke up and our heads felt like balloons. Buuuut, damn did Mombasa have some good Chicken Tikka.
