wednesday. midweek.
after a horrible week last week, with all my hormones going crazy and feeling so homesick i thought i'd hop on the next plane back home, this week is turning out to be better.
i turned in my presentation proposal for my intercultural communication class, a poem about maya angelou, who's the only person i know of the african-americans who can be our topics. i had to make it so convincing because i knew i was competing for my place. anyhow, i think i did good on the poem because i got my teacher's attention. she even summoned me to her office so we could talk about it. the talk turned out to be really productive because when she found out that my bachelor's degree is in speech communication, she offered to speak in one of the speech comm conferences in the philippines. how cool is that?! i am just glad i've taken this class so that i've met this interesting person, phyllis taylor, who is so much fun...a person who's passionate about life and at what she does that it rubs into you. she is one of a kind and she is one person the academe needs more of.
then i saw mel and riss again. because of the budget cuts, we haven't seen each other in a while. and riss and i caught up with each other as she drove me home.
well, it will be my friday tomorrow (even if i will be in school until 10 because of the filipino evening class) because friday is a holiday, and monday is a holiday, too. this is all turning our really good...even if i have first exams in both the classes i am taking.
