March Madness

Getting ready for the midterm briefing was crazy... but everything went so smoothly! I am so proud of my team, they all presented really well and we had it really together. We also earned several "very nice presentation"s at the end, which was really cool.

Now I'm super excited because I can focus on catching up and anticipating the craziness that is to come... our design needs to be frozen in 2 weeks! Yikes!


I have been noticing some people lately and I wonder how to best handle them. To the outside world, they are clearly headed for a train wreck. But, they see none of the red flags in their behavior. So, do you stick around and try to catch their attention... or do you just give up because you realize that they are completely uninterested in learning from you? They have such apparent issues and handle them in such negative/unhealthy ways, but you can't seem to get them to see it. Quite the predicament... I guess the whole "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink" applies here. Boy does that saying fit a lot of things. I know many people who try to force the horse and it gets them nowhere.

Anyway... what to do for spring break. Some friends of mine (Steve, Pokie, etc) invited us to go skiing in Vermont. Sounds totally awesome but very expensive, so that's unfortunately not an option. The second is to go hang with Alex and Brian in Daytona. The third is to go spend some time sailing with John... but we would leave from Daytona, so these two could be combined. The fourth would be going on what Will calls "Adventures" everyday, which would be really cool too. So many awesome options, we'll have to see.

John cracked me up on the phone today, he says "Wait, Daytona is a big Spring Break place, right? Like that one.. Pam or Palm City or something..." He meant Panama City. That's hilarious to me. Some concerns about 17 year old puke on his boat were mentioned. Sorry that you'll have to dodge that on your runs, Rebecca ;-) I'm sure you'll be fine! And, if we're sailing in the area, you could come with!

I'm very excited cause this weekend we are going hiking with Jason and Apryl. I think we'll all have a lot of fun. And I got the cutest phone call from Jason, asking what he and Apryl needed to get. Perhaps we'll even camp one weekend.

I am LOVING spinning. And missing going out on my bike. But now it's fixed and hopefully I'll get to see what I can do later this week. And Jen Schur cracks me up when we're stretching in class! Rebecca - you gotta try one!
