July 19 - Day 17

Wake up at six. Wake up at six. Please wake up at six cause there’s soo much to do.
Multi-Cultural Night is tomorrow. Two murals are sketched. The world is three fifths done. All of them need to be painted. Our CT Project still needs a completed model and a high resolution diagram. We still have to plan a presentation for our finance project despite the fact that all our stocks are down and the person we’re supposed to emulate doesn’t ever sell his stocks and is only in it for long term growth. Hopefully that’ll go up soon and our graphs will start going up.

I really can’t believe that we are in week three already. There was just so much stuff that happened. We’ve turned pterodactyl into a speech impediment and found creative ways to be a part of the Harry Potter release without watching the movie ($700 in movie tickets + extra for bus rentals weren’t part of the budget) by playing Muggle Quidditch. Yesterday, we filmed our short movie which apparently had the same plot as a really really old Chinese music video. We will be editing the film tomorrow.

Shad has been amazing so far. My only complaint would be that the weather always leads to us getting wet: that is either by rain or by sweat. Oh yea, and the fact that the cafeteria seems to LOVE bubble gum ice cream and never gets any other flavours. But each day there’s a new lecture on a new topic and today, we had the funniest Irish guy (Scotty) give us a motivational speech that I’m sure everyone absorbed through the cracks in their ribs from laughing so hard (He started out the lecture by getting us to stand on our chairs with our eyes closed. I’ll leave it up to the reader to imagine the rest.)

Anyways, it’s almost lights out. So I guess I’ll be sending this post a day late.
