Friday Afternoon
Wow. Free time.
After lunch I was going to work a bit on the site, as I understood we were “in class” until about 2:30 or so. But when I got to the classroom, Gary and Jeff had taken the servers down, so there was no way to work. Yay, Gary and Jeff!
I hopped on a […]
Friday - One more day.
EEK. I woke up this morning and was brushing my teeth, when I noticed that something felt weird. I either broke my front tooth or lost a huge filling. It’s not extremely painful, but it is uncomfortable and I’m waiting for America to wake up so that I can call the dentist. I’m really scared […]

Wednesday and Thursday were working days. We struggled over our site and got frustrated, and decided to go down to the flea market in the afternoon to get some toy turtles (that we are using as part of our site design). Sharman got the car and Amy, Brenda, Meghan, and I piled in with her.
It […]
Field Trip!
What a day. Meghan, Amy, Brenda and I spent the morning working on our site. It went pretty well. At least we weren’t quite so discouraged as yesterday. We also worked a bit on our week 3 video, which is due on Friday.
Sharman and Jeff and Gary (I’m guessing mostly Sharman) planned a field trip […]

At night I dream code.
Today was really difficult. It started out wonderfully. Brenda and Amy and Meghan and I met with the professors and talked out our project. We are all very excited about it and have some wonderful ideas. We seem to mesh well as a group.
But.
Then we went off and started to build […]
Sunday, August 5th
Sunday was a catch-up day. Angie and I slept until about 8:30 and wandered down to breakfast. Afterwards I raced back to pack up some clothes, as the washing machine was available, and I didn’t feel like hauling my laundry back downtown.
I looked at all my pictures, caught up on blogging, and did my weekend […]
Saturday in the Mountains
Sharman and I woke up to a beautiful day in Lauenen. We went downstairs, where a sort of continental breakfast was provided for us. It was bread and croissants, butter, jam, cheese, coffee and juice.
We checked out (using a bit of sign language to find out if the breakfast had been included) and drove a […]
Friday - The Alps
We watched and critiqued the week 2 videos, and then class ended at noon today. Sharman needed to drive up into the mountains to get some paperwork for her dad, whose ancestors are from a place called Saanen, and invited us to go along. I had decided not to try and do Paris this weekend, […]
Read More..>>Bad Days
Wednesday and Thursday were bad days. We were absolutely swamped with Rails (the programming language we’re learning) homework and had to work on our week 2 videos.
Jodi and I headed downtown to try and film some scenes. Did I mention it was raining? And it was a Swiss holiday? Nothing was open, so we filmed […]

I finally have a minute to write about Tuesday.
An entire day at the UN was scheduled for Tuesday, but after our initial experience many of us felt that attending the conference wouldn’t be beneficial, especially those who have a pretty clear idea of what their project will be. Our professors said that it was fine […]
