final project

So, our final assignment was to do a presentation on whatever we wanted. It didn't even necessarily have to be relevant to the class, just whatever we wanted in a group or by ourselves. Normally, I would have jumped on the opportunity to just create some goofy skit in a group, but I was feeling creative. Here is the result:

There once was a group of students at UT,
that went off to Europe knowing it would be anything but free.
They had many things they wanted to see and do,
who knew they could fit in a class too!

Each morning the met for a short amount of time
to discuss life with French students and even mime.
In the end, everyone found they had much to learn
about the small things in life and what they really should yearn.

They would disappear every weekend
only to return with stories that would never end
from places like Belgium, Normandy, Amsterdam, and Nice
along with Paris, Spain, Switzerland, and Greece.

Mountains were hiked, possessions were lost,
and many stairs were climbed no matter the cost.
Bikes were rented and good food was eaten,
each day left each student beaten.

From spiritual experiences and naked photo shoots*
to churches, castles, and army boots
It's safe to say everyone enjoyed their time here
and are already planning more adventures for another year.


*No Mom, I was not involved in a massive naked photo shoot, this poems embodies the entire group to an extent. But if y'all are interested, a girl took part in one of these photo shoots in Amsterdam done by the photographer Spencer Tunick.

So yea, that's probably the most creative that I've gotten with a school assignment, I'm kind of proud of myself! :)

Also, instead of adding pictures to here, I just uploaded all of them to Snapfish. There aren't any descriptions yet, but the albums are divided up by place, enjoy! http://www1.snapfish.com/share/p=632211182425119987/l=272297394/g=98511546/otsc=SYE/otsi=SALB
(It'll ask you to create an account, it's easy. Sorry, I didn't realize you had to make an account!)
