Philly Putt-Putt

On one of first truly glorious sun-drenched weekends in Philadelphia, my friend Emily and I went to play Philly-themed miniature golf. About a million another people had the same idea of us, but we let the over-eager eight-year-olds step in front of us and had a leisurely putt-putt experience. Most of the holes were made into Philadelphia monuments, like LOVE Park, the Ben Franklin Bridge, the Liberty Bell, Boathouse Row, and the Art Museum.

It's finals time. I have spent far too many late nights at the TECH Center, and am ridiculously grateful for its 24-hour Starbucks. I've got a lot to accomplish in the next two weeks, and also have the orientation for my capstone class, Senior Seminar, this coming week. I have seen and created way too many Powerpoints this semester, but for the most part the work is interesting. Like for my Research Methodology class, we had to research past studies and create our own study on student travel motivations-- why students travel where they do and what they do on vacation.

But other things, like learning the time value of money for my Finance final on Thursday....not so fun.
