Here are ASU, everyone is just about wrapping up their first month of Fall 08. It feels great to be back on a schedule and enjoying the amenities of the downtown campus. But the reality is that sooner of later our ability to retain information is put to the test by that exactly... tests! This week alone I had two exams and a paper draft due. First, I had a paper draft for my Urban Studies class that was due Wednesday, Thursday was the first exam in BIO 100, and today was an exam in my Human Sexuality class. Very stressful but obviously part of the job description of being a college student right? So that has basically been my week. I am ready for a relaxing and joyous weekend... which includes some homework.
So I was watching Late Night with Conan O'Brien several weeks back and they showed a video focused around the presidential race and the candidates. It was from a website called jibjab.com. I thought it was pretty funny and I am putting it up here because sometimes we just need to sit back and smile at things a bit. It is meant to give laughs and not to be taken too serious so in the words of Candi, my fellow StAR -- Enjoy! Let me know if your witty eyes spy a famous person in the video! :-)
It is the end of the school year and classes are coming to an end. This year has been super crazy with classes, meetings, work, and life. What's next? Summer time!! I am very excited to get my summer started. I am mostly going to be working and enjoying my time with family and friends. There are also possibilities of going out of town to escape the Arizona heat for a bit, which would be nice. But while I day-dream about what to do this summer, I have to bring myself back to reality and continue to pack my many things that my dorm room contains. Residential Commons (RSCOM) has been my home for the past two years however now it is time to say our final good bye's. This was the final academic year that the residential hall - RSCOM was to be open as the housing facility for the Downtown students. I am pretty excited because we will have a brand new building named Taylor Place. It is going to be awesome being the first person to occupy my soon to be room at Taylor Place. But for now, I am stuck going through my countless stacks of school information, getting paper cuts and packing everything I own that is currently in my dear dorm room into boxes. After all that... then maybe I can start thinking about summer!
