It has been another enjoyable week. The rain stuck around and I spent a lot of time just relaxing and preparing myself for the flood of homework known as mid-terms. I'm trying to be extremely proactive so I won't be worried about what needs to get done while I'm in Ireland and Norway. So far, so good.
Class went by with its usual speed and I didn't have to worry about anything in particular. For my theatre class we saw a production of Enron and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I suppose I was too young to care about the implications of the scandal and I expected a dull performance. Instead, I got a wonderful quasi-musical/satire of American capitalism (we love it and hate, don't we?). Apparently it is getting such rave reviews that it is likely to hit Broadway soon, so if you get the chance, go for it.
The weekend was homework focused. I finished an assigned book and got a paper done a week in advance. I even had time to get it edited (Thanks Kelsey!). I've got two more papers to write, two tests to study for, and a presentation to throw together throughout the next two weeks. Add on my trips and there is little time for work. I just need to keep reminding myself that if I were in Tacoma I would have had this much work weeks ago. If I make it through this, it will be a straight shot to finals. Woo! I did have a chance to go to the London zoo on Sunday. I got to see a lion cub, baby meerkats, and eat cookies and candy. Overall a great day, I must say.
An another really exciting note, the website for the National Undergraduate Bioethics Conference is finally up. This is the conference I have spent all summer trying to plan (I am the speaker coordinator). This is the 13th annual conference to be hosted at Puget Sound and it was at Harvard last year. It's for undergraduate students across the country to voice their opinions on changing social issues, especially in light of Obama being elected. If you are interested go to: www.NUBC2010.org. I have a bio underneath the "Organizers" tab. :)
