College life has been fabulous, to say the least. This week, my 6th week here at Macalester is also going to be my busiest and most hectic week yet. I have a 7-9 page paper due for my first year course on Thursday (Anthropology: Global Health & Emerging Infectious Diseases), I have a 600 word French essay due on Friday, and a 5-6 page paper for International Studies due next week. In addition to that, our cross country coach told us yesterday that this week is going to be the most intense week (with the highest mileage) of the season.
But what I really wanted to include is that it's 70 degrees right now, there's not a cloud in the sky, and I'm sitting outside at the wire tables outside of the campus center, attempting to type my Anthro paper. It's beautiful, there are students everywhere - lounging in tank tops at the wire tables, tossing a disc on the green grass, or lying down on blankets dotting the lawns.
I'm done with class for the day and am hoping to spend these nearly two hours before practice finishing my paper.
Tomorrow night is a workshop that's being run through the Health & Wellness Center for females only where we'll be making molds of our busts and decorating them to spread awareness of breast cancer. It overlaps with "SEXY training" for my floor - health class in an hour - but after surviving through five years of health class (5th-9th grades), I don't think I'll suffer too much if I miss it.
As soon as the work level dies down, I'll post some pictures of this gorgeous area before the snow comes.
