5 Things I Learned at Convention

We had a great time at convention.  We met some nice people and I learned alot.  Here is a list of the top 5 things I learned at convention:

  1. Geeks/Nerds/etc. have very little people skills.  Many people were awkward or downright rude.
  2. A hotel with a 3 star rating does not mean that you will have a clean bathroom or a TV you can watch.
  3. You will not be able to complete any homework while attending a convention.
  4. Never underestimate the value of a good pair of walking shoes.  I bought some Ecco's on the last day and I soooo wish I had done it earlier
  5. You never know who you are going to run into in the hotel lobby.  Deadliest Catch fans will recognize Capt. Keith from the Wizard.

Convention

The Phi Theta Kappa Convention begins tomorrow morning in Seattle.  Myself (the VP of Leadership), and our VP of Fellowship are travelling from Portland to Seattle on the train this morning.  It should be a very productive trip, and I'm looking forward to getting alot out of it.  Getting homework done while I'm gone should be a challenge, but the whole trip should be fun.

Spring Term First Week

This has been an interesting first week back.  Besides reading, there is very little work to be done.  It's a nice way to transition into a new term.  None of my classes are very exciting, except for maybe Group Communication.  That instructor is a laugh RIOT!  For our second class meeting, she simply posted a scavenger hunt list on the door and each of groups had do go do things.  It was pretty cool.

The kids are dealing with Mom going back to school pretty well.  They began softball, baseball, flag football, and cheer this week, so they are plenty busy with their own stuff this week.  We're going to be busy, busy, BUSY!
