Escaping those doors

23 July 2013

This evening we met with the Chaplin of Pembroke and discussed the importance off religion within the college. The book above is a version of the bible from the 1600s, the Chaplin’s own personal copy, and the writing comes from one of the pews in the chapel-the one just outside of the “headmasters” vision…

Exam week at Cambridge means trying to gather everything you have learned over the past several weeks and cramming into the one little portion of your brain–the part that actually remembers. I know I have the capability to do it, but right now I am strongly doubting my abilities to withstand for three more days. It is as if my little brain can only expand so much, and that max capacity is near. Lately I have been really good at escaping the doors of the library, well more like avoiding them. Hopefully that little detail over the past few weeks will not come back to bite me at the end of exams this week. The next few days will have to make up for all the fun times and facebook/email/blog/Pinterest/youtube views I have substituted for hours I should of spent studying.

….well 30 minutes ago, two beautifully expressed paragraphs filled this spot here…

For some reason my iPad keeps deleting the paragraphs I write when I am not connected to wifi. This is odd because that is how I have survived the past two months of my blogging days, writing when I don’t have wifi and uploading pictures and publishing when I do. It has only happened three times thus far, but still every time it is so frustrating because each of those posts took a good hour or so. So unfortunately you will not be able to read more about how fun cambridge is…but pictures say more than words anyways, so just log onto Facebook and take a look!

But even more importantly than the bit that was deleted, today Kailey and I formulated a plan to take the Trans Siberian Railway all the way across Russia. It takes 6 days to ride it all the way across without getting off, about 2 weeks if you want to make stops as you ride it. I’ve heard that if it absolutely beautiful in the winter…and it brings you straight from Europe to Beijing!

In my Business Creativity and Innovation class, we were given paper and instructed to build something that would prevent an egg from being broken as we dropped it from a first story window…there was A LOT of creative thinking there.
