Spring Fever/ Last TWO days of school

Well, spring break is upon us all. We had a pretty decent winter season (hey, I never had more fun in my life!). I learned how special moments are on the mountain snowboarding with friends. I am looking forward to spring break! I have been super busy with school work and this will give me a chance to kick back and enjoy some time with my parents. The only thing I'll miss about this place is the girls. No, I am not crazy or anything. I have just met a really special girl (I will not post any names here since this is a blog and some people actually read this!). I am looking forward to getting some time to hang out in Lagos. It will also be a time where I can enjoy a movie/TV show without the distractions of checking-in/school related crap.

Only TWO more school days till Spring Break. I can't wait!

France: Land of Bread and Cheese

Well, I just got back from a unique cultural experience in France. We traveled in a bus from our little town of Leysin to La Rochette, a small town which is about a four hour bus drive. Our group stopped in Geneva to see ancient jewelry. It was interesting to know how gold and silver were used in the 15th century. By 5 pm, we were in La Rochette. We stayed with "host families". It was fun because we got to experience French family life. And, we were expected to speak French!! It was cool because I got to go to a drum lesson! Our little tour took us to some unique cafes and cultural sites. Grenoble was the highlight. We got free time. Free time usually means shopping! We got to see the city and it was a very beautiful city. Albertville, the city were the 1992 winter Olympics were held, was not very interesting. We just saw one stadium. We went to a travel fair. We saw a uninteresting movie about some guy who crossed the Sarah in 6 weeks. There was a fair nearby but it was closed so we headed back for some free time. The medevil town was the best. It was well preserved. Our trip ended with a stop to Anncey. The lake was beautiful and there were little shops set up. Overall, the trip was great and I learened a lot of French and French Culture!!

Changes

Well, the year has been rough. It has been relatively cold the last few days and it snowed up top of the mountains. I went to the United Nations building and the Red Cross/Crescent museum in Geneva. It was amazing to see the conference rooms where resolutions are passed and changed. I was interested by the unique history and Nature of the UN. We got a guided tour of the building. The Red Cross museum was also a unique experience. We saw different exhibitions ranging from the topics of war and Africa's problems such as the Rwandan Genocide. The weekend has been fun.

Junior Year

Well,Junior year has gotten off to a start. It's been good so far. Class of 2009. keep it real!
