So, Pre-term, Eh?

In the past two weeks, I have quit my job, gone on a big family vacation (holla at ya, Ontario!), studied calculus, and begun my education back up! I am so happy to say that I easily passed my math exam given at the beginning of class yesterday, so I know enough algebra to do economics. The class moves wicked fast and the first midterm is already next Tuesday! SAIS gave us a free lunch today which softens the blow. And we get free beer every Friday... but in the classic economics sense, the beer isn't truly free. We've already paid for it...
Anyhoo, here is a little outline of economics, translated for all of us who have been out of the classroom for a while: http://youtube.com/watch?v=VVp8UGjECt4

Many cheers, eh!

Details about the next month

With so much changing in the near future, here is the upcoming schedule for my remaining time in the states.

Wednesday, July 16: My last day as a Platts staffer

Monday, July 28: First day at SAIS where I begin my pre-term in Microeconomics at the D.C. Campus

Wednesday, August 27: I leave D.C. for Bologna at 7:00 PM, taking the luck o' the Irish with me as I fly on Aer Lingus

Friday, August 29: My first day of intensive Italian classes during the Bologna Pre Term.

Stay tuned, next post after something fun happens. Cheers!
