Winter arrived today in the form of blowing snow that came flying sideways into our lives a little too early. I really wasn't cold, but the wind and snow served as reminder enough that seasons are changing. Apart from the weather it was the last day, incredibly, of one of my Fall A classes and the last for two weeks for a full-term class. I cannot believe how quickly the time went by, but I feel like I learned quite a bit and am looking forward to Linda Lim's World Economy in Fall B.
At the RenCen this evening for b-schoolapalooza... quite a turn of events to be on the other side of the coin. There was much less nervousness on my part but the anxiety and optimism in the room was much more palpable since I wasn't emitting it. I actually had the free energy to enjoy the view of the river (with ships!) from the 36th floor of the 200 tower. I hadn't been to the Renaissance Center since a spring break when Mom granted Robin and I 100 steps each and, using escalators, we were able to make it roughly 800 yards. Things have changed significantly and the whole place has a bit of a buzz, like a McCann-Erickson commercial exploded in the lobby. Which it kind of did.
