The first 2 days...

So classes started (aka no fun).  I had 4 hours of class on Monday and 3 today.  The class today was 3 hours straight with a 15 minute break about 2 hours in.  It was long, boring, and I learned nothing.  Ahh the joy of Organizational Behavior on syllabus day.  The discussions have been so general and the accent/lack of proficiency in English makes class funny at first but then it just becomes frustrating.  Kids from other schools aren't as well versed in the joy of having international teachers as us folk from Purdue.

In case anyone was wondering (Brandon, Krin, etc.) I took a 5 hour nap today.  I felt proud of my accomplishment.  I think it may be a personal best for a mid-afternoon nap.  I got up a little before 5:30 and am currently tired again (9:34 pm).  

Tomorrow class doesn't start until 3:30 pm so I may try to sneak a bit of a nap in prior to it.  I want to be well rested and ready for an exciting lecture on International Management.  It should be quite the lecture tomorrow.  I am going to go ahead and throw this out there, but I am guessing that we will discuss the attendance policy, grading scale, group project, test(s), and a brief overview of how the class will progress.  Stay tuned for actual results.

All in all, things are fine here.  Meeting lots of kids from around the world.  I mainly hang out with  kid from IU (I know, I know...), one from Australia, and another from California State - Long Beach.  All great guys.  The larger group of exchange students has formed into smaller groups of friends.  It is funny how quickly it happens.  I have battled a bit of a cold and a small stomach issue.  The stomach issue was created by a sketchy Brazilian BBQ restaurant and solved by a solid night of getting sick (I'm sure everyone wanted to know that).  The cold will be solved with ample sleep.  By ample I am hoping to get at least 15 hours in a 24 hour period.  That is just how I roll.

Well, that is enough for now.  Emails are nice (gives me something to do in class).  Let me know if you like this idea or not.  I will probably keep doing it even if you don't but whatever.  I like your opinions nonetheless.
