Wow, a Live Update
For once, I'm actually writing a journal entry for immediate upload into my journal. Unfortunately, I'm only have a couple minutes, since I'm on lunch break during my classes. Today our lectures began, and Karl-Hendrik Robert (the creator of The Natural Step Framework) is as delightful as everyone promised. The Crown Princess has sat quietly and taken good notes, while her security detail has menacingly surveyed the crowd. Not much else to report--although I'm surprised to see how non-sustainable the classroom setting is. Every student has received paper handouts of the PowerPoint presentation, and the computer and lights are left on during the breaks. Tsk, tsk.
I'm happy to report that the stalker situation has been resolved--at least for now. Just after finishing last night's entry, I got a call from Adam. He was effusive in his concern over my unreturned phone calls and text messages. He just "happened" to be at the bus stop right in front of my apartment, and wanted me to come down and chat. I was polite but firm. I thanked him for his concern, but explained that his frequent attempts to contact me made me uncomfortable. I asked that he not call me anymore, but that he allow me to contact him if I needed any help. He was quite huffy by the end of the conversation, but I didn't relent. So far, so good.
I'd also like to compliment the designers of the Student Pub. I was expecting something very academic, but it's a lovely place. One end of the building is a large dance floor, with student DCs spinning atrocious American hip hop. On the other end is a section full of couches, a pool table, and mini-Arcade. And, of course, the bar. I had a lovely time.
OK, I need to be getting back to class. This weekend is supposed to be beautiful (today is perfect--I am sorely tempted to skip classes), so I want to get everything done this afternoon so I can spend tomorrow hiking around the islands. And perhaps a canoe ride on Sunday...
I probably won't make it into campus this weekend, so the next update will most likely be Monday.
