Weekly update 3-16-10: Spring break Edition: Early again and Might be lengthy.

Hey all weekly update time. if this needs to be broken into 2 parts, i'll note that somewhere around here. Anyway, this is the first week in the past few that i dont have a sticky note nearby with topic reminders, so here goes nothing.

I swear one of these weeks i will post on the regular day, even if it means i switch the update days for these. Anyway, onwards!

The "Intro" section:

ok, so since i'm not basing my post off a bullet point list on a sticky this week, there is gonna be a bit of disorganization in what i remember to cover. As such i can't see the point to this intro. So here comes the main section.

the "Meat and Potatoes" section

So, lets see, i last updated majorly last monday. So Tuesday thru Thursday i did regular homework and studied for the midterm in my education class. That went well, i mayve studied too much as i could not remeber one thing for the life of me and i didnt remember the one article the one prof asked us to directly recall on the exam. My essay on the midterm might be a bit weak, but we'll see. after the EDU midterm i was essentially done, so i took it easy that afternoon and the next day. Friday classes were allright, though my afternoon class tried to teach us this semi-convoluted literature theory the afternoon before break. YEa, i know. What made up for that though was the fact that in my more intense philosophy class was wayy more "punchy" than usual because it was the last class periods before break. we were all being punchy in that when were were small group discussing the questions, we picked apart trivial things in them and got off topic alot. It was kind of fun.

anyway, after classes, i went back to my room, hung out, finished packing and then headed to the shuttle to take me to Dayton. This was a fun ride, but we left a bit late cause as usual the shuttle was overbooked and the guy had to make sure a second van was on its way. on a sidenote: it beats me why the company consistently uses 12 passenger vans when the shuttles are always overbooked on the evening of break and the first day of it (i've flown out on Saturday AM and its been booked solid); i can count on one hand the amount of times theyve used one of those small town bus things.

Anyway, i digress. The shuttle ride was fine after we got going, i had my ipod on and fell asleep in the van, yet again. the guy next to me, a freshman, was obnoxious and impatient, but i tuned him out, or rather tried too. basically as soon as we got in the shuttle, he wanted to go, and didnt care about the other people waiting outside, and then when we got to Dayton and stopped initially before pulling to the side a bit more, he wanted to get out right there, and didnt care that the van was blocking 2 other cars from moving. All that and his flight was not until 30 minutes after mine, which was at 6:55 originally. SO yea, that was obnoxious.

so after i got thru security and such, i got food, and hung out at my gate where i proceeded to get e-mails and phone messages about my flight every so often starting at 6ish. Essentially, due to weather in DC, my flight was delayed leaving, got in at 8:20 and i landed around 10, about 90 minutes after i was supposed to originally. anyway, so on the flight, mianly because the weather system had shifted towards the mid-west so there was a lot of turbulence on take off. I'm already a nervous flyer, without a fear fo heights, so i'll let you imagine my reaction to the turbulence.

So i landed in DC for spring break and got my suitcase and headed home. got home unwound and break began. over break i've done homework sparingly and other stuff. been driving alot in hopes that i can drive back at the end of break. There's been family stuff that i'm leaving out fo this post for personal reasons that may prevent the driving back, but its nothign incredibly dire, so dont worry. i've gotten one doc appointment out of the way, one more to go and then two friends staying until the end of break. Saturday and sunday should be days off from work more or less, even if theres the stress of traveling back, which should be fairly nice.

Anyway i think thats the recap of the week in a nutshell. there's one more thing that happened today, but its again a personal family thing, so yea, not mentioning it here.

anyway, hope you guys like this post. Please comment below with your thoughts on anything.
