I CAN'T WAIT!!! I'm so excited!!
I just finished up a ten page paper for my Interpersonal Communication final, and I'm beginning a five pager about Shakespearian Literature. Fun. It's all good though! This week wouldn't really even be that bad if I weren't leaving two days early. All least I'm over the hump now and I can almost feel the tropical sun beating down on me! Oo la la!!
The group I'm going to Panama with is from the college, but we're going to help in a mission that I priest from Ripon set up. His name is Father Wally, and he's been working down in Waucoco for years now. His website is http://www.frwally.com/ if you want to check it out! It just goes to show how close the college and community are in Ripon and also how giving the citizens are! I love Ripon!
Yesterday I had a special guest in my Creative Writing Workshop class. It was an author named Stephen Powers who writes poems about Dolly Parton. Pretty bizare, huh? But he was hilarious! He is originally from Wisconsin and just moved down to Georgia last year to teach Creative Writing at Gordon College. His poems are about his family trips to Dollywood he used to take with his family and they're really good! They remind me of my own family road trips. :) He also used to work as a stand-up comedian, so he'd interject some bits into his presentation to us and he was just hilarious! What an exciting week this has been!
