So now today I'm able to make this post! It's really, because my pageviews go UP down UP down each day even when I'm not posting! This blog is brand new and I'm almost to 500 views! One time I had 25 views from Poland! Now Poland is gone and I have 4 from China! 你好中国！(Hello China!) :)
So this is the last full week of the semester. I have several things to do...
- MGMT synthesis paper
- IC synthesis paper
- IC research paper (kinda excited for this but I haven't start yet... maybe I'll go by the library today!)
- JAPN final project (I'm doing a lot better in that class than I thought I was-- probably going to be an A)
- STUDY STUDY STUDY CHINESE!
And now some pictures...

| I thought Papa would like this. Ever wonder how Kroger sets up their displays? I caught this right between Halloween and Christmas.. |
 |
| This one is for mom! I found out this year how EXPENSIVE olive oil was! Like wow! Sow hen I found this in the bargain section (it's ~*~organic~*~ too) I snagged it up! |
 |
| I also decided that I'm an adult and if I want to make french toast for dinner tonight and breakfast tomorrow at 9PM than I can!! |
 |
| "The day the leaves fell Small yellow fans spinning down Autumn's warmth is gone" This is the day it got REALLY really gold, and ALL the ginko leaves just went PLOOF and fell. It was beautiful and a little sad! I really liked seeing them change with little tinges of gold and green. There were just these puddles of golden leaves ALL over campus! |

| I have to take a step out and take a second to explain this. As an officer of Honors Student Council I was chosen with maybe 15 other students to talk and interview with potential provost candidates. The last lunch is today! I've had a lot of fun interviewing. One candidate is from the University of Missouri, one is from Wayne State (I think. It's in Michigan!) and the last one if from the University of Memphis here. The first speaker was really good, he came in knowing what he wanted to say but also asked us what we needed to do on campus. He wanted to improve graduation rates and increase study abroad involvement (he said we could potentially DOUBLE the amount of money for scholarships!! Wowza! I'll hold him to that!) |
 |
| This is the second lunch. I didn't enjoy this speaker as much. The lunch was muddled, we kind of floated from question to question and his goals were very vague. Okay, you want to get to know students and stuff-- great. University of Memphis has a 13% involvement rate (how many students are in clubs/groups/etc.), so how are you going to do that? You're going to cut out gen. eds because many kids don't need them coming out of high school-- what about adult students who are 10-15 years out of high school? Hmmm? HMMMM? Anyway, the lunches were BOTH delicious. A great break from the noodles at the Asian place downstairs... Mom I'll tell you more about this when I'm home! :) |

| Picture from game night! The turnout was GREAT! We had a few kids from Christian Brother's (CBU, our neighboring university) honors program come over. The CBU honors kids are sooooo great! I wish we could do more with them, but they plan their semester events so rigidly! Argh! But I love 'em! We also had a good turnout of freshman. This was a really chill event to kill stress as the semester winds down. Disney movies, Roger and Hammerstein's Cinderella, coloring, STAR WARS MONOPOLY (I WOOOON!), and some video games. |
So I think this semester will wrap up nicely. I'm keeping my eye on Fed-Ex internships, but they haven't been posted yet (so sad!) and I'm keeping my eyes open for study abroad opportunities. I'm so much less stressed now that my CLS application is in. It's done! Over with! All I have to do is wait, and if I don't get it, so what? I'll have an internship lined up! As for studying abroad, if I do make it into the CLS program, I want to study abroad in Japan next, perhaps in Spring 2016. I want to be a well-rounded East Asian student!
That's all for now. Have a great Thanksgiving everyone! It's almost break time, we can do it!!!
