The Weekend

This weekend was packed with events. On Friday, I went and picked up my certificate from The European School of Management. I was taking some Marketing courses, and it looks like I'm going to take some more in the fall. I want to get a Masters in Marketing or Business or something that will get me a better job. After receiving my certificate I went to the Lettonia house to hear one of the other pledges give his dissertation about Latvia and NATO, but I had to leave early because I had to meet a lady who is friends with my Mom and Aunt. She had an envelope that I needed to pick up to give to another reletive here. The lady said it was great that I was hear and all that junk, but she didn't talk long so that was good, because I had to get back to the Lettonia house. On my way back I met the other pledges. Friday was planned the Aizbegsana which is when all the pledges run away to some place, throw a party, and hide from the brothers. It was fun. Then on Saturday, Lena and I went to a mall that just re-opened, because I needed shoes. I knew that I needed new shoes, because when it rained on Friday my foot got wet. Unfortunately, Something happened with the bank and no body could use their cards or take money out of the machines, so we had to go back on Sun and get the shoes. But we had to get the shoes early because we were meeting one of our friends from Germany who is here visiting his girl for the week. The German and I met when I was studying at the Latvian University in the fall of 2002. The four of us went to the beach for the afternoon. The weather was finally good enough to make that kind of trip enjoyable. I think this post is getting too long. So I'll just wrap it up. Overall it was a great weekend and I had a lot of fun.
