It's hard to believe it's already mid-January
And the start of Week 3 of Winter Quarter!
The past week has had quite a few highlights, some school-related and some not.
1) Two very interesting Marketing lectures, with lots of eye-opening information about the anchoring effect, behavioral economics, irrational consumers, and many other concepts. Marketing is definitely one of my favorite classes this quarter.
2) A talk from an AEP representative about their ground-breaking Mountaineer, WV plant, with has the first large-scale carbon capture sequestration (CCS) operation. Our class learned a great deal about the technology behind CCS, the possible concerns, and the limitations of it.
3) AG's apartment-warming party was a blast! There were at least 30 Fisher students, along with lots of AG's other friends. It was nice to unwind with classmates, make some jokes, drink some tasty beverages, and get the long weekend started!
4) Reaching Expert level on several duets in "Beatles Rock Band". What a blast!
5) (Successfully) cooking jambalaya for the first time. I was reminiscing about my trip to New Orleans over winter break, and decided that with a little luck, some sausage, rice, beans and spices, I too, could make jambalaya.
6) Getting matched with a "Little Sister" through the Big Brothers, Big Sisters program. Nesha is awesome! She's a freshman at a local high school, loves basketball and soccer, and has a very cool family. We had a nice lunch on Monday, and I introduced her to my guinea pigs, which she really enjoyed. I also showed her a bunch of games using the Wii Fit Balance Board - she was a natural! She did better on some of the balance games on her first try than I've ever done.
Well, it's about time for my first class of the week, so I'll sign off for now!
