The Denver Fair

As most of you should know already, this is Denver Fair week. Not that the Denver Fair is anything real special on the surface, but it's filled with happy childhood memories, which despite it's flaws, makes it special to many of us. I used to love entering in all of my arts and crafts items (which normally won in their categories). In fact I'm a little annoyed with myself. I made a really gorgeous wirewrok necklace this past year that I really wanted to enter in, but when packing up to move onto campus, I wound up bringing it along. My little sister entered a bunch of her home grown pumpkins, squash, and works of art this year. And get a load of this, I forget exact what she won in each category, but she got 4 first place ribbons, 1 second place, and 1 third place. Go Julie! Since I'll be home all day tomorrow, I think I'll be heading to the fair with Julie, to see her stuff on display.

In other news, well, my life is still sort of dull since I still haven't started with my internship yet. But, as of yesterday, I finally have all the forms I need to get started, so I should be getting started next week, hopefully on Monday already. All my classes are going well. My only issue is with my Group Dynamics class. It's a fun class, don't get me wrong, I love it. There is just a ton of group work that needs to be done outside of class, which my work schedule really doesn't allow. For example, this evening my small group is supposed to go to the Student Forum to observe how that group operates. Unfortunately, tonight is my supervision meeting at PCS, which is obviously in Lancaster, so there is no way that I'd make it back to campus in time for that. Ah well, I'm trying to not feel too guilty since I'm sure that at some point all the others will have to miss a session as well.
