free post and class writings

I just got done with eatting my last dinner with a friend. It seems that he is doing a YouthCorp. camp up in the Oregon area. I've known him since my first semester here at the University of Wisconsin. The class we took together was a intro Spanish course and we ended up doing our final project together. I think the exercise entailed doing a skit in Spanish of certain situations. We knew we were going to go in there freestyle but we needed a prop to help us out towards the end. My friend and I came practice the possible scenarios but no matter which one they were, they would always end up to us playing and singing a song on the banjo. This was one of the topics that came up at the dinner today and so of course we had to perform, even though it was in the middle of the restaurant, and invovled me yelling. Oh well it was the Weary Traveler and I'm sure they could handle situations like that. So anyways the lyrics of the song went as follows: Yo tengo Espanol, es mi favorito!!! AYE! AYE! AYE! anyways the TA instructing the class told us to shut up as theere were classes next door being taught. I think it was just us being stuck on a project and our very outward, erratic personality that we ended up being friends.
He still has famiy that lives in the Madison area, so I can imagine him coming back, even if it is just to visit. Unfortunately, I don't share any similar ties to Madison, so I find it doubtful that I'll be around if I decide to leave(which will be likely). I'm happy that he's pursuing something he wants to do, I just hope I can keep contact with him and eventually meet him again sometime in the future.
As for writing that I'm doing in my other class...Nothing!! That's not entirely true, but no where near the same scale or same style. My other classes have me doing other types of work. This past week, it felt I was doing a full time job making a setand shooting a movie plus my classes full time and a part time job. I have an animation class that requires me to spend a lot of time in front of a computer drawing and animating. For my Latin American history class I did have some work that was relevant to writing. This past thursday another student and I had to lead discussion about a book for our class in which NOBODY else had to read; including our TA. So we had to take notes on the chapters and make an outline, which would also be included for our essay on our final. We tore it up; we were able to talk for 30 minutes about the book. Everyonce in a while there would be questions asked, but we definetely filled teh whole discussion time just with presenting. I felt that we were slightly erratic on the information presented, but the TA did not hide the fact that she was pleased with the results. So I have been balancing that presentation with our group presentation at the moment, and trying to get my writing in order, which I have been doing regularly with a large dosage of FAIL!
