Here are the details…

Fly out of Geneva on the 18th of Dec @ 10:35 AM
Stop over in London for a couple hours…
Arrive at SFO on the 18th of Dec @ 4:25 PM

Loooooong flight, but nice and cheap due to www.studentuniverse.com

By the way, if you are a student…CHECK THIS SITE OUT! It’s amazingly cheap (I got mine for ~$650) but they’ve got wicked good deals on other flights…students/teachers only though.

Also…tonight is the Festival of Lights…which means there will be some EXTREMELY drunk Indians. I was working with several Indians on my Econ project and they had to bail so they could go buy liquor. I found that pretty funny.

Our Econ project should be pretty sweet. It was really hard to do though…due to the word limitation. It was supposed to be only 2600 words, then he said 2800. We worked for AGES to make it smaller and only could knock it down to 3053. Doh!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!! Eat some candy and scare some kids for me ;)

It’s been a while since I put up pictures of people (instead of things and places)…so to make up for it here a bunch of random ones of random things that have been happening recently.

Also, the order is random. Neat huh?

This is part of the aftermath of Cultural Night up at Absolut. It was PACKED up there…seriously shoulder to shoulder. I, magically, got a sweet couch spot and observed for hours. This is an example of observation.

Obviously these guys were pretty excited to have a picture taken of them. It’s understandable…a picture is FOREVER. The most enthusiastic one in the middle is Devraj…Indian, actually doing his internship in SF.

This painfully dark picture is Culture Night on campus. The entire school building was emptied out and filled with all these booths and TONS OF FOOD. Not to mention TONS OF SWISS. It was a madhouse, and I ate SOOOOO much I thought I might have to crawl into a corner and die.

More Cultural Night insanity. People…food…etc.

This was as things started to wind down a bit (thankfully). I was barely able to walk at this point due to the massive stomach food intake.

Here is a Halloween picture with the school director wrapping up the head of the BBA program. Hilarity ensued.

Ah, more Culture Night (I told you it was random). The Brasilians were mad at me for not eating their food (I tried!). So I took a picture instead. I think that’s fitting.

This is Crazy Dancing Man, and after the Halloween party at a bar in Montana. He was grooving like he was the last man on Earth. Anders (drinking and watching) was jealous. And Toga Guy (I’ve no clue who he is) wanted to dance too.

Here are some crazy Halloween people. I’m the handsome green fellow.

And a much larger group of us Halloween freaks. I wasn’t looking at the camera sadly.

I’m not quite sure what night this is…but Tony (squished face) obviously reacted very strongly to…something. You go ahead and use your imagination.

Absolut. Drinking. I suck at dancing.

I’ve got a lot I could post about…Halloween, Culture Night, People…a ton of pictures too.

But eh, I just don’t feel like it.

It’s just one of “those days” where I’m just not in the mood for much. Ya know when you don’t really want to talk with people, don’t want to be bothered by people? Meh.

I’m sure this won’t last all that long…but right now, don’t expect much. Sorry folks.

Culture: 80%
Doh! She said I wrote well but didn’t draw in enough from class. I don’t think that’s quite right. But she loved all the Crawford family history…thanks Doris!

Human Relations: 90%
Highest grade in Management! I had a great group and we really worked hard on it. The teacher was very impressed…and so was I!

So that makes…
2 A’s, 4 B’s and 2 Unknowns (Marketing and Economics…both of which have projects due next week). An average of 87%, not too shabby I must say!

So I went to the computer lab today to work on Economics and do some test printing…I wanted to make sure all my graphs were pretty and the like…

So I plug into the network, turn the computer on…and it tells me my account has been blocked. Hmmm…

I unplug, type in my password, plug back in…and can’t print. Hmmm…

I go to the IT department, they look through my computer, and tell me I’ve got an “illegal program”.

It’s Yahoo Messenger.

The guys says “Why don’t you use MSN? Everyone uses MSN.” I tell him that people at home don’t use that. He tells me they should.

Whatever.

So no more Yahoo at school. Bastards!

First of all, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Gallaxy is an AWESOME movie! I am a huge Douglas Adams fan and have read the books cover to cover many times now…and thought the movie was fantastic. It followed the books in part, totally diverged in others, and made me want to see a sequal NOW.

Hopefully they will.

Secondly…my favorite website, www.nasioc.com, is DOWN! Stupid hurricane! Bah!

That’s all for now…

Oops…one more, because this is SO FREAKY STRANGE! Remote controlled PEOPLE!

So I’m sitting in CDV…the school run “fast food” restaurant and bar. This Friday is Cultural Night and a lot of students have been getting ready for it…with dances, food, singing…all things cultural.

So there is a school band that’s going to be playing…they’ve been practicing a lot (in my basement, so I know ALL THE SONGS BY HEART NOW AND IT SUCKS)…but they are good guys working hard.

They “auditioned” for the school tonight at CDV…including the Dean of Students, Mr. Taylor. And what did he do after telling them they did great?

Got on the drums and RIPPED THAT SHIT UP! I was blown away! He totally rocked. The Dean! Awesome.

Now check out the below picture…

This was the Halloween Party (which will get it’s own post). To make a long story short…it wasn’t all that great. But then I have VERY high Halloween expectations. Anyway the night was pretty fun…but ended amazingly.

You see that dude in the middle, with the short short hair? That’s one of the teachers. In fact, he’s the Service teacher for the a la carte restaurant…our “high end restaurant”. He was hidden in a coffin in the middle of the room, burst out of it, crawled around like a zombie (scaring the piss out of students that know him), then was joined by those other students…who then did…

The entire Thriller dance from the Michael Jackson video.

Amazing.

I may knock this place around a bit…but when it comes down to it, it really is the most wacky and nutty school I have ever experienced in my entire life.

Here it is…

Accounting: 93%
Nothing changed here. Highest grade in my class and tied for 3rd in Management.

Food & Beverage: Project 75% Mid Term 83%
I am disapointed with this, especially the Project part. I worked hard on it and got dragged down by people in my group. Oh well…still doing “well” in that class.

Room Divisions: Project 87% Mid Term 81%
Woot! After bugging him about the grading on my Mid Term test he bumped me up 8%…now that I’m VERY happy about. I can still get an A in this class if I bust my ass :) Oh yeah, that’s the highest grade in Management for the Project ;)

Facilities Management: Project 80% Mid Term 85%
I did well on the Mid Term vs the class…3rd highest in my class (unknown vs Management) and…well…we got the highest grade in Management on the Project. Awesome!

So that leaves me with…

Human Resources: Unknown
We turned a project in for that class that was 40% of the grade. I’ve got decent feelings about it…it was a very simple group project and that makes me worried. The final is 60% and pretty unknown. I know it’ll be an essay.

Marketing: Unknown
My grade is dependent on 2 things…a written project (60%) and an oral test (1 on 1, 40%). My group for this is awesome, and my role is “typist”…to take everyones bits and turn it into proper English. I’m fairly confident

Economics: Unknown
We’ve got a project due in a week which is 40% of the grade, and I know my section is amazingly awesome. I’ve got graphs up the ass, excellent research, and I’m very proud of what I’ve created. The final is 60% and I’ve got good feelings about it.

Contemporary World Issues: International Relations 95% Art 75%
I destroyed International Relations, but crapped out in Art. It was written in class and she pretty much summed up my grade with “I expected more from a native English speaker”. Bah. I didn’t argue…my spelling sucked. But we just turned in Culture and Sociology should be a snap. After that it’s Enviornmental Policy then some sort of final “test” of lord knows what. A is still possible here.

So that pretty much sums it all up.

I had originally found this site on memepool, but for some reason it changed to a rather stupid site. I eventually found it again and still find it pretty disturbing.

So of course I had to submit this picture.

Enjoy the Entrances to Hell.

Sorry for the lack of blog involvement. I’ve got fairly large projects/papers/stuff to do these days so I’m not on much. But I’m still thinking of all of you!

Plus I should have some really cool pictures after this weekend. So stay tuned…I guess.
