The Post

I would have to say that I am definitely a disciplined mind. I, for the most part, think the same way all the time or attack a problem in the same manner. When I am faced with a challenge, I often tend to over think all my options. I look at all the possibilities and their probably outcomes and I select what seems like the best choice. One might say that I over analyze like a lawyer, who looks at every option and weighs the outcomes before they make their choice. I am very much like a lawyer in that sense because I do the exact same thing.

Throughout my blog I would have to say I exhibited curiosity, experimented with new ideas, and saw the viewpoints of other people. First off I was curious about how the entire world of blogging considering how I had never made one before, but I was mostly curious about what other people were going to write about in their blogs. I always find it interesting to read what other people have to say when they are given free reign of their thoughts and are allowed to talk about anything that comes to their mind. Second, new ideas were always at my fingertips since I had never made a blog before everything about the experience was new. I enjoyed learning how to make my own website, and I was honestly surprised at how easy it was. I was always thinking of new things to discuss and talk about, and since I chose to talk about my spring break trip, my blog helped me chronicle and remember all the awesome things we did. Third I saw and appreciated the viewpoints of other people through the community of blogs I formed. I found that I enjoy the humor that other people displayed on their blogs so the majority of the blogs I followed were those of my friends or humorous ones that made me laugh.

Through my experience of creating my blog, I learned that making my own website was not as hard as I had initially expected. I figured, not being too technologically advanced, would hinder my blog making skills, but in reality anyone can make one. They are so simple and they are a great way to get ideas out to a large number of at once.

Let's Climb a Mountain!

The same day that the children were in charge of traversing the city, we filled our afternoon by taking a tram up to the top of a mountain. By the time we reached the summit, we were elevated to seven thousand feet. Needless to say there was snow everywhere you looked, but it was one of the most majestic scenes I have ever seen in my life. After we had a massive snow ball fight, Kristen, Emily, and myself decided to take a photo to prove that we were there and actually saw the amazingness.

Crying Lion: Lucerne, Switzerland

When we traveled to Lucerne, Switzerland, we traveled to the crying lion monument. This was the day of our trip, when the tour guide turned things over to us and let the students lead the adults around the city. We had to navigate via an actual map, and thankfully no one got lost. My group was in charge of explaining the government, but we did stop to see the lion and one of our groups told us the story of the crying lion.

Test Drive Anyone?

While in Munich, we were able to visit the BMW museum. It was one of the neatest things I have ever seen. I have grown up all my life hearing about cars from my uncle who worked for GM so I was intrigued to see these beautiful hunks of metal up close. Once inside I saw what every girl in the world wants, a shiny new convertible. The museum was a car lovers dream. You could see the stages of the car from beginning to end and then sit in a finsihed pordut. It was definately a once in a life time visit my uncle is very jealous of.
