My first week back...


A more detailed account of being here, alone in my tower…

Monday came – I finished unpacking what I could and got my paper started. My future suitemate Elinor popped in to work on her online summer school stuff.
Tuesday – I pretty much just hid out here in my tower and wrote most of the paper. I ventured out to make breakfast at Elinor's summer apartment and then to straighten things out at student accounts and finance office. Elinor popped in again to work more on her online studies.
Wednesday – Almost done with that paper, I spent the evening hanging out with my friend Hillary. Came back, let Elinor in again – her card wouldn't open the apartment until Friday when she checked in – and went over to GC to help loft a bed (since I'm an expert!). Then I came back and FINISHED my paper.
Thursday – I proof-read that stupid paper and turned it in with work samples.  Elinor moved her stuff over that evening. I talked with Ruth again – this time while she unpacked.

What is this paper she keeps talking about? Why is it stressing her out and taking her three full days to write?

It's the last part of my internship requirements. I spent over 120 hours over this summer working for the Northwest Rider magazine. This paper is where I reflect and analyze those 120+ hours. In 10 pages minimum, I had to explore the exciting times as well as the frustrating times. In it I had to give account of my time. It was challenging for me to write it because most of the time I did my best, but at the same time I did not do as much as I could have or to the standard I would have liked the entire time.

Friday – was Collegian orientation!

Let me leave you with a few food photos. I've only had my little cast iron pan to cook in and no microwave.
