Anyways, me and 5 other HSU students, plus our professor are going to be living in Vienna over the month of June and taking LDSP-3099-A... But for all of us that aren't robots on the Hardin-Simmons network that is Managing Multicultural Organizations. I'm actually in the class now but once we go over there it will be more of a Human Resource Management class... Riveting I know. But I know the reason I am going over there is to study and make an A in that class... at all costs. Now if your name is Kara Nixon do not read any further.
Ok now that we lost her I can speak the truth... just kidding, of course I'll apply myself in class but I know the majority of what I'll learn won't be from the class, but the people I meet, the places I go, and the experiences I'll have. So now on to my pre-trip, rough draft, travelling plans.
I will be flying out of Abilene on May 30th at 7 AM so everyone that wants to bid me farewell is welcome to... though I wouldn't know why you would get up that early on your own free will. From there me and Dr. Patterson will fly to DFW, where we will meet up with the rest of the group. After that we will traverse to Chicago then straight on to Vienna which I hope to be knocked out on some type of medication... I dislike the ocean and flying so yeah...
Class starts on the following Monday on June 1st. That first weekend me and my amazing friend, Casey Braswell, plan on traveling to Spain to meet up with Norman Trinh, a Theta (the social club i'm in) alumni who graduated in 2007.
As far as the second weekend I don't have anything planned, but I know I'll find something... I'll be in Europe of course.
The third weekend me and Casey are planning to go to Budapest, Hungary. Sweet.
And after class ends on June 27th me and the friends I have over there are going to be backpacking across Southern Germany, Switzerland, and back to Austria. We haven't really planned it out that much so more details will follow. I will be returning to America on July 4th.
That is my rough-draft of what will happen, I will probably end up looking back and laughing at how much I did not follow that. There are several different ways you can contact me now and while im in Europe.
- Skype, a type of instant messaging service which allows you to type to me, like a regular IM, but also allows you to call my computer, like a phone and talk to me via microphone and/or webcam... all for free. This will be the quickest way to contact me. It's really quick to download and register, even if you are incompetent like my mother you could do it in like 2 minutes. My "skype name" is michael.andrew.nixon, just add me to your contacts list on that. www.skype.com
- E-mail, if you wish to email me use nixo3154@hsutx.edu
- Blogspot, even though I am new to this you could always leave a comment and I'll try to get back to you.
- Facebook, if you have a facebook you can talk to me on that.
Whew that was long,
Michael Andrew Nixon
