My camera died on me due to the extreme amount of water and moisture my boat for the Scioto River Sweep so for this writing, I will go without it until I can get one from one of my friends. I guess that is the price for being adventurous. I still did a ton of things from then to now so I will just have to explain in detail instead of relying on my pictures to do the talking for me. I hope you will be able to relate without the help of pictures.
This week is the first real challenge for me in terms of academics. The fifth week at OWU seems to be that way. I recently completed my Environmental Alteration paper, a thirteen pager. I still have to check for a never-ending amount of errors and adjustments so my paper does not meet the wrath of the red pen. Oh, how I despise the red pen (everyone does, even if you have a 4.0- you are still going to get red inked). The topic is about environmental sustainability and how to rescue the earth from its own destruction in the hands of human abuse. If this sounds like fun, then Geography should be your major. I also finish my paper for Power of Maps. This was a introduction to finding real and paper maps. I found out some interesting information about Cleveland in the 70's and 80's. Cleveland's past is revealed to me, awesome. My other classes were uneventful in terms of papers or assignments. I have a problem set that I have to turn in on Friday for my Applied Stats class. I better get help to make sure that I know the concepts so that I will not bomb the first exam. I know that I am fully capable of passing that class with a decent grade if I get the concepts down. Now I have to pound that logic in my head to make sure I do this. I know that this class will pick up exponentially come Thanksgiving break (mommy!!) I like the class and having to visualize the problem before I can do the problem. I have a mid-term (already!) for Applied Stats next week, a mid-term for my Power of Maps class on Friday, and a mid-term for my History class (Making of Britain) Thursday. My other class, Cultural Geography is next Friday and personally, I can't wait to start linking comparisons about globalization and neoliberalism to the questions that are given to me. Let me pump it out!!! To keep me sane, I do some Choral Arts to not become bogged down in my written work. Some gospel and classical will do me just fine.
I am involved in a lot of activities. The activities balances out my classes (I have six so I am in a good amount of activities to alleviate the stress that comes from these classes). I am a double (maybe triple) major so I have to take these classes eventually and the activities are not linked to these (I don't want to be thinking about Henry II at lunchtime). Some of the activities I do is Circle K (community service, getting some), Habitat for Humanity (yet another version of community service except with building homes), Campus Programming Board (Demetri Martin in the house!!! Attend the show, OWU students and staff), and the Student Homecoming Organization (leak coming!!! There will be a luau during the Wednesday of Homecoming Week!) These are additions to all of the responsiblities I had last year (remember: SUBA, BMF, WSCA). That is right, I'm back and I am here at OWU to stay, full of the spirit. People at OWU: expect to see me a lot this year. In town, in the streets, in the classroom, even in your room. I am on the residential life committee, believe it or not. RA's and RLC's, thank the WSCA President for that decision, so if you see me in Crider Lounge everyday, now you know why.
Well, today I am very busy. I have Choral Arts at 6:30 and I have to get some sufficient food in my body. Otherwise, I might pass out or fall sleep from lack of nutrition. I also have to continue to work on my Applied Stats homework, due Friday. I am going to the Brown Jug after Choral Arts for a little Wings Night sponsored by the Office of Minority Student Affairs. I have to get prepared.
Carefully testing the winds of college life,
