Hello Everyone... I'm back in the land of green and white and am taking a break from my studying to update you on my week. I got back from our IRO trip to NYC on Monday at 3:00 in the morning. It was an eventful and fun filled weekend. The journey there was perhaps a little more eventful than we would have hoped after we blew a tire in one of the vans. But never fear I assisted the boys in changing the tire with the help of my handy dandy flashlight and calming coordination. We got back on the road and all arrived in New York ready for site seeing and intense debate. The conference was fun and the team brought home 4 awards. While I myself didn't get one, I am happy with how I did and am already looking forward to the next conference in Philadelphia!
In non MUN (model UN) related news, it is the week leading up to the most important football game of the season. It's time for our beloved Spartans to slay the Wolverines. Everyone is preparing themselves for this Saturdays game, including the marching band and their traditional "Sparty Watch." They take it upon themselves to guard the Sparty statue from any individuals who may wish to make a mockery of it. So far they are doing a great job! My roommate Becky is there guarding it as we speak (or in all reality, as I type). It's going to be a great game and spirited pride around East Lansing is contagious!
Sadly the curse of midterms is accompanying this weeks festivities. I only have one but it is more than enough to keep me busy. The next couple days will be a compilation of reading, outlining and the smattering of caffeine to keep me operating. Come Monday afternoon I hope that studying will have paid off and and I can begin to tackle the additional tasks on my to-do list such as applying to study abroad programs and scholarships to fund it! Wish me luck and don't forget to cheer for the Spartans this Saturday! GO GREEN!
