Almost there. It’s just a little over two weeks until
Thanksgiving (and, therefore, pumpkin pie) and really once Thanksgiving hits
the semester is done. I mean there are a few tests and whatnot but it’s pretty
much just done.
1) I
still have to finish my Community Development research paper. Upside, I’m 17
pages into a 25 page assignment. It’s downhill from here.
2) All the
pieces of the business plan are done or near done. It’s all about the editing
and refining at this point, which will take the rest of the school-year but
step 1 is almost done.
3) I
have a couple of tests and presentations left in all my other classes but those
are doable.
On the extracurricular activities front:
1) we
had an etiquette dinner at Ella’s, so that we all knew what fork to use when.
Is it just me or when you know you’re supposed be acting gracious the first
thing you want to do is tell the dirtiest joke you can think of?[1]
2) Halloween
was fun. My friend Lauren had a party in a little wooded area just outside
Fayetteville. It was cool but as we
drove up to it everyone kept repeating “This is how horror movies start”. Luckily,
no horror movie. Just a bonfire and a band and some really cool costumes.
3) They’re
repaving the main road near my house. It
takes 30-40 minutes to get anywhere, more if it’s rush hour, less if it’s night
time. Someday Siri will be able to do my homework for me while I’m in traffic.
Plan for next week: Finishing my Community Development paper
and the business plan rough draft; advanced excel workshop and studying for my
accounting and investment theory tests (Monday the 14th and Thursday
the 17th respectively.)
analogy of the week: Getting your homework done
means you get to party; therefore, studying is fighting for your party rights.[2]
[1] What
exactly you say or do could be different. Maybe you need to pick your nose or belch
the alphabet but the sentiment of wanting to do something completely ungracious
when your sole purpose is to be gracious.
[2] I
know this isn’t exactly an analogy but it’s still metaphorical so it counts.
