The Roof, Agassi and Classes.

We're in full stride of our classes now, each one definitely has its own feel. All four of my professors are female and each bring something different to the plate. Our culture teacher is extremely enthusiastic with teaching. I've had numerous professors in the past and will in the future (I've got the whole 5 year victory lap persona goin' on) and have learned even if the class may be the hardest one, if the professor shows enthusiasm for what they are teaching, I mirror what they have to offer. If a professor goes Ben Stein on us, the bare minimum always seems to follow. How does this tie into what you're doing in Spain and in Europe, Sean? In our dorm, the Rector Peset we're able to get on top of the roof. No, mom it's not illegal or dangerous like you think I might do, it's where we hang up our clothes and take in the sun that is blocked by the buildings below. I've been reading Andre Agassi's book Open and was struck by a passage he wrote to his newly born son (at the time it was around 2002). "Now I just work as hard as I can and let the rest fall where it may. It still doesn't feel great most of the time, but I push through it, for the sake of so much good...Always value others, ______ (Jaden his son). There is so much peace in taking care of people. Even though I have a bit of time left in college and even joke that when I graduate I will be sure to sign them out of their Retirement Home and take them to the sizzler for the early bird special I realize the value of hard word. Though currently, my grandmothers favorite phrase is "do you have a direction in school?" and it's funny to tell her I'm a rodeo clown or just graduated welding school, I know that hard work, and working hard for people always pays off.
