London!

Judging by the lack of regular posts, you can probably tell that May is a busy month for me. Exams are about a month away and all group/individual projects are due soon. However, we have a holiday at the end of this week, so Ryan and I decided to treat each other to a little break... IN LONDON! So excited. But a little freaked out that we're doing it so last minute. It's okay, we'll go back, and next time we'll get to plan everything. This time, we're just being spontaneous. Hope that works out for us. We leave tomorrow and come back on Sunday.

Before we can pack, I still have some school work and Ryan's doing taxes. Tonight, my group is actually meeting on Skype, analyzing the results of a production management simulation game we're playing for 20% of our grade. Skype is so cool. It definitely helps when trying to get a big group together, especially considering all my other classes have groups as well, so sometimes the only time slots you have left in a day are at night. It's nice to be able to meet while sitting on your own couch.

The weather has been SO crazy here in Lugano - rain for 2 solid weeks. The clouds are the weirdest part. They move fast, and hover around the mountains. I took this picture while waiting for the bus. How crazy is it that the clouds moved around the top of the mountain like that? I should have taken a video... other clouds were circling in thin strands, looking like a snake attempting a strangle. I'm glad we're getting out of the city. Although London might not be the best choice for escaping bad weather. Doesn't matter... I have cute Hunter rain boots, so we should fit right in.

  1. Malinda, your cloud photo is making me crave an ice cream cone.
    But really, that is weird. I guess they don't have tornadoes there, but they do have - THAT.

  2. Have a wonderful time in London! Is the management simulation game called CapStone by any chance? :)
    Miss you!

  3. I know... what is that??? I just wanted the bus to come, and escape the wrath of the cloud headed for our mountain. It was something out of lost and I did NOT want to be in that fog.

    Jill - it's actually Littlefield Technologies. It's more production management, so we have to forecast demand and use equations to limit wait times at certain machines. Should serve me well if I ever need to work at Sanmar!
