July 7, Are We There Yet?


Breakfast this morning was interesting. The food was like always, the best meal of the day, but the conversation that I had with another student and the dean was interesting. We talked about the test from the night before and the problems that happened with the test. Its going to be interesting to see what they decide to do about that test.

Northing was really mentioned in global studies, except that we would be finding out information later. Other than that, we had a guest lecturer talk to us about Croatia. The lecture started off somewhat interesting, but then he talked about one of his slides for about 45 minutes. The main problem with this was that I couldn’t read a single thing that was on the slide. Watching lectures on TV in satellite rooms does have its problems some times. I ended up doing something else because I just had no idea what was going on.

We draws spheres in drawing today. I think I was pretty good at it. I'm really not the best person at drawing, in fact I may be one of the worst. I seem to be able to do art of any other type, but drawing is just not my forte.

We did our "presentations" in religious studies today. Basically we broke up into new groups, with one person from each of the original groups in it to explain their chapters. As I was listening to the other people talk about there chapters, I came to realize that most of them had not done the reading. They decided to not read the book, and to only read their assigned chapter. So I did the bitchy thing to do and when it came to my chapter I described it as vaguely as I could and referenced Global Studies (because I'm sure most of these people don’t go to global studies) you could tell that they were annoyed with me because they still weren't sure about what my chapter was about, and it was the most important one in the book. Maybe it will teach them to do the reading.

After class it was time to relax and prepare for Croatia. I spent the afternoon resting and chatting with people. I don’t know what to expect when it come to Croatia. People who have been there before say that it is absolutely beautiful, but that is the extent of my knowledge about the country.

The pre-port meeting was the same as always, except that I again watched it from the comfort of my bed. They didn’t have a lot to say about the country because its so safe there. The only interesting thing they had to say was that there are still active mine fields in Croatia. They showed us the sign that we should avoid because it meant there was a field there. Apparently the mines will be active until 2018, so there's still a chance to play in a mine field if your interested…..

Bed early tonight for the early wake up tomorrow!
