So I vaccines done last wednesday ( I was pretty busy) and i got the pneumonia, thyphoid, mennigitis, yellow fever and polio vaccine! Can i state for the record that it hurt!!!! I have a nice bruise from the Yellow Fever vaccine to prove it. (Maybe i will add a picture of it on later) Anyway....I just wanted to update that registration for the trips got changed to next tuesday 11/29/2011 so i will let you know what trips i will possibly be going on that i will register for in advance.

Also what was going on this month was the IPE (International Political Economy) Forum at the University of Notre Dame between Friday 11/04/11 - Sunday 11/06/11
UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME PICTURES!!
We got there really late but everything went well! I will post some pictures from the events. I had a good time but to be frankly honest, some of the school population can be rather stuck up and there really isn't much to do in the surrounding areas because let's face it. Other than Benedictine College being in the middle of nowhere (45 Minutes outside of Kanas City). South Bend is in the middle of nowhere! The teams competing in the Forum were Notre Dame, Benedictine and USD (Side rant: USD, SDSU & UCSD are two different schools!!!! UCSD = University of California San Diego SDSU = San Diego State University and USD = University of San Diego! The people who get these mixed up need to really get that straight because i am tired of correcting people for the same thing over and over. Ok i am done ranting about that) Friday was a formal presentation by all the teams. Oh i almost forgot to tell you what the topic was! It was Gold Standard! The question was:
IS GOLD A VIABLE RESERVE CURRENCY? WHAT IS THE REAL VALUE OF GOLD?
PICTURE OF ALL THE TEAMS TOGETHER :)
THE USD TEAM
THE BENEDICTINE TEAM
THE NOTRE DAME TEAM
After all these teams presented then we all were divided up into four teams one person from each school was on a team and we had to give a presentation on a similar topic but different question about how gold affects the coporations financially and what coporations should do to help themselves
THE WINNING TEAM :)
I WAS ON THE WINNING TEAM WITH TWO OTHER FRESHMAN (Erin (Middle) and Sarah (Left))
Our Awesome title for the presentation? GOLD GOLD GOLD!! (Catchy isn't it? Well the judges liked it anyways and so did everyone else.)
OTHER TEAMS
The trip to Notre Dame was great and i had a good time overall but there is just nothing there. (No wonder they have a big night club on campus!) There really isnt anything special within proximity to the school and it's rather sad. The actual host of SIBC from Notre Dame was really not very personable. Minus that guy, the experience was fun but I am never doing a presentation on gold again. I wear platinum and silver! :)
