What's Been Going On
Hello, my dear reader!
I know it has been quite some time since I have written anything on this blog, and I do apologize for that. I think the cause is that I have managed to somehow maximize feeling busy and uninteresting at the same time. That leads to not much time to say nothing! Also, I have been knitting a lot, but can't post any info about that due to the proximity of Christmas *winks and knowing looks all around*.
I have been working on school a lot, too. Most of my classes are project-based, so I can let you know about the topics, at least:
Ecological Econ: comparing social change movements and revolutions to look for common causes
Graduate Seminar: finding links between bicycle use/infrastructure and well-being
Systems Modeling: conceptualizing the organization of a community-based healthcare system
My fourth class is microeconomics, and in that I am mostly just reviewing microeconomics. Amazingly, that is really the only economics requirement in the program! Seems a bit odd...
The most exciting thing that has happened recently is that I had a really good fencing tournament last weekend! Here are the results:
I was really happy with how I did, and it was by far my best showing in a tournament. Yay! Also, I beat the B rated fencer in pools, which is pretty awesome. I was "eliminated" by Birk Rivait, one of the guys who trains with me at the UVM club. Overall, our club did really well, and so I was also happy to have more proof that I have a good group of people to train with.
I think that covers most of what is going on with me... other than getting over a nasty cold. Is it just me, or is it odd that people seem happy to be sick with something other than the swine flu? It is still just no fun.
