March 23rd

I got home last night at around 10 pm. Somehow, Jeanne, Christina and Elsa got misplaced on one of our 800 connections yesterday. When I arrived home and saw that they were not back yet, I felt as if I had lost my child. It was a sad, sad time for me. 

But I had no time to fret over it. When I got home and put on my pajama's, my roommate Anna informed me of a case study that was due today. All I wanted to do was go to bed, but I had no choice but to do it. It wasn't my most well-done case study, that's for sure!

Finally it was bed time. But, before I knew it I was being tapped on by Jeanne to wake from my slumber. She always gets me right in the middle of my REM- I swear. Granted, I love that she woke me up on account of I do not have an alarm clock, or even a watch for that matter. She always does it in such a sweet little voice, too. 

Sluggishly, I got on my dress-code (or so I thought attire) and moseyed my way down the three flights of stairs to the cafeteria. After cutting my bread and methodically swirling the honey atop it, I began to walk back to my table when I was abruptly halted by Professor Silva. 

She asked me what I was wearing. I found this strange because last thursday she asked me if my jackets had arrived yet and why I wore the same blazer two days in a row. Confused, I brushed off that comment, but I really didn't understand why she was asking me again about my outfit. I thought I looked pretty snazzy- (I've had a nice nautical vibe going on since my blazers arrived!)

Anyways...Apparently bright colors aren't very welcome at DCT. Black and Grey, with the occasional navy blue, blazer is all they want. My navy blue and white stripped jacket is not what she (or they) had in mind. I just really don't like black and don't feel that these rules should be in place- especially in the spring time. Colors are great! Everyone could use a little more color in their life! 

German class was next. 8:30 'til 11:30. That's three hours in case you didn't count! Of German! WOOF!  My brain stops soaking up the vocabulary after about 24 minutes, and so for the next 2 hours and 36 seconds I sat and tried to not think of silly things that would make me laugh. 

Lunch was yummy. The salad bar has been impressing me lately. They have pickled beats, sprouts, cucks, corn... It's great- I don't even have to get in line for the hot food anymore (but I did once I noticed the salmon on other people's plates =)) 

We had marketing today at 1:30. It started out with power point presentations that weren't very interesting. We had a break in which we all were given "Turkish Delight's" which Yazmine ( a girl from Turkey) brought back from her trip home over the weekend. After our 10 minute break, Professor split us up into groups and we were given the task to invent a product and market it. 

My group did the "Sock Doc" which is a rendition of my winning invention from the 4th grade invention convention (The Handy Dandy Sock Sorter!) I really liked it, but sadly, we didn't win. I would really like to get into marketing for a tourism board. I get so excited when I sell stuff- I suppose it runs in the family.

Jeanne and I went for a beautiful power walk after class. We geared up and headed in a totally new direction- one that we have ever been before! Sans the fact that there were cars whipping around the sharp, narrow turns alongside the edge of the mountain where we were walking, we were in such awe of the view that I could barely notice. Lake Luzern is so clean and clear, you can see all the way through the turquoise coast that we were walking along. The mountains in the background reflected on the lake as the sun hit them and created the perfect lighting. As usual, Jeanne and I had a great conversation and made it back to DCT just in time for dinner! 

Dinner consisted of chicken wings, salad bar and 2 glasses of frothed milk. I'm enjoying the milk-steamer machine that is in the cafeteria. If I liked coffee, I would like it even more. Maybe someday.

Our group met in the comp. lab after dinner to finish our religion project on the Baha'i faith (look it up if you're interested- it's pretty neat). I did my laundry (in my tub, like the Amish would), hung my laundry, and here I am now! Ashley is coming over to Turbo Jam in a few minutes =) 

Yay for a fun day!
