Today marks the day in which, one month ago, we began our Governor’s
Scholars Program experience and now, with less than 100 hours remaining,
things are starting to wind down.
Besides the fact that my roommates decided to wake me up at 5:30am to go swimming/do laundry, today was a normal day.
Why today was awesome:
1. Our general studies teacher, Salome, cooked us traditional West
African cuisine today in class. We had rice with a tomato/onion/habanero
pepper/spinach stew on top and then for dessert we had papaya with
cottage cheese. Delicious!
2. It was Salome’s birthday today! We celebrated by going into town to
The Fuzzy Duck, where we treated her to a cappuccino and dark chocolate
covered espresso beans. And then we went to the bakery where I proceeded
to get a pretzel the size of my head :D 3. I have an awesome project idea that uses up all my quotes from GSP that I can’t wait to start. 4. Our hall went out to dinner tonight at a local Mexican restaurant called La Finca’s!
5. In Journalism, all we did was prep our table for our final banquet on
Friday. Each class will sit together for dinner and they are expected
to come up with a centerpiece and name tags and other things that
represent their focus area. For an hours work, we did awesome!
Everything we’ve done incorporates newspaper in some way and it looks
awesome:)
6. This isn’t totally awesome, but it was supposed to be! Film Studies
was supposed to screen their movies tonight but unfortunately, due to
technical difficulties, the movies were rescheduled to Thursday. At
least they weren’t cancelled completely!
7. Lastly, I finally got my letter from my best friend back home. It was
just what I needed - can’t wait to see everybody!
3 days left!! (I think this last one is the most awesome of them all!)
