Positively Busy

   Hello all.  It has been a very bust week for your humble correspondent, albeit in the best sense of the term.  Paradoxical as it may seem, I rather enjoy having a busy schedule with little ‘dead air’.  When your time is more or less always occupied, you feel a good sense of accomplishment.  And of course, when you’re busy, the weekend comes upon you with far greater speed and a far greater sense of entitlement to leisure.

   This week admirably fit that description.  I was assigned both an oral presentation and a composition for Spanish.  I met with my group for the oral presentation, which will consist of us enacting before the class a scene from a Spanish telenovella.  (This will be interesting, to say the least.  I’ll inform all of the end result.)

  My work for Core class this week has centered around one of the works of Sigmund Freud.  (I’ll avoid name-dropping; this entry is nerdy enough…)  I’ve found it quite fascinating, and have really enjoyed the class discussions.

  After such a busy week it was great to jump right into the weekend, which needless to say was quite enjoyable.  It was an Alumni Weekend for UR, so it was quite entertaining to see and hear alumnus from classes as diverse as ‘95 and ‘69 walking around campus and sharing memories of various shenanigans.  (I’m pretty sure that word is in Webster’s…oh well.)

  And so I leave you all for now in hopes of experiencing another week which is time-consuming yet rewarding.Â
