dominica en crespano






ciao!! the last two day were a little more realxed, thank god. sat we had the final seminar for the kepner tregoe decision making and analysis stuff. it was really inciteful the way the explain to you how to walk thru decisions in order to not continue making mistakes and think about the problem seems to really make a lot of sense and it works. we watched a video from the 60s-70s about a dead whale on a beach in oregon that they had to get rid of and they decided to blow it up, really funny check it out im sure its on the internet somewhere, definitely worth a look. that was an example of how not to make a decision by the way. then in the afternoon we had a travel orientation and they gave us a lot of good websites and tips and places to travel and hostels not to stay at and pickpocket scams to watch for and anything else helpful. it definitely helped us b/c that nite we went and started making plans for our travel week, i ended deciding to go to frankfurt, heidelburg, vienna, and prague with 3 other ppl from my hall in our dorms!!! itll be amazing and im really excited to be going its so crazy. i was so scared to hit the "book" button on that first flight it seemed like i was signing my life away or something. that nite we went to la piazza again, we had a great time moricio popped in a cd with some rap and we opened up the downstairs and had a little dance party.
sunday a bunch of ppl went to the sundy market in crespano. it was about a 20-30 min walk there but well worth it, bc it was soooooo beautiful!!! everything here is a painting it seems like. when we got there it was 6-10blocks of outdoor stores everything from fresh produce, to sweaters,shirts, shoes, watches, HOT food, and little hardware stores even!! i was a little hungover at the beginning but a cabob with sausage and chicked with peppers in b/w and a bag of patatine (fries) solved that!! it was mouth watering!!!! as we were walking thru the streets we came across some "vendors" selling louis vatton bags (Raquel...) and gucci and armani belts and movies still in theatres, off of sheets on the sidewalk and as we were looking at them they all rapped their sheets and merchandise up in a domino effect and ran off. we turned around and saw the polizia walking down the road behind us. they were selling stolen item and knockoffs, and we found out that we can get in as much trouble buying from them as they can for selling the stuff!! but it was still hilarious. after that i came back and took a nap, much needed. then woke up did some homework, also needed. hit up dinner i had some pasta with shrimp sauce that was really good, cold broccoli and and some pork, that was alright, and some fries. after that we had organized another nite of basketball in the gym, we played for a few hours it was as fun as it was last time. after bball i needed another shower, chatted on the internet for a few hours (if u have a webcam feel free to get on a messenger service, skype or windows live, and ill tell u some stories) emailed a lady about some apartments in prague and then that puts me here typing this blog, and after that i cant tell ya much bc i havent done it yet.
i have school again tomorrow, its really weird bc weve only had like 4hrs of school and like 4days of organized activities. and it doesnt stop next week, we only have school mon-tues again and then i have whats called LB1, more on this later, im not too excited about it ive been hearing some horror stories.... but im sure ill be on here again soon so thanks for reading, have fun be good, ciao ciao!!!
