Busy week

     This week has been jam packed with activities and fieldtrips. Wednesday, in particular was a pretty eventful day. We started the day off by waking up around 7:00am to get dressed for the day. Italian class at 9 was pretty usual as we learned about our numbers and a couple Italian verb conjugations. After Italian we all took a field trip to the Ufizzi Museum as a class to see some o Michaelangelos painting's. The paintings were pretty amazing I must say. After the museum our mgmt. teacher had a speaker from the embassy ready to speak to our class about trade and exporting practices in Italy which I thoroughly enjoyed. Being that I am a business major and have a concentration in international business, those are the type of class periods and public speakers that really interest me.
     
     Our management teacher, Ms Lanier, has recently discussed job analysis and description with our class and has introduced an interesting assignment for this blog post. She asked us to incorporate the qualities and criteria we look for in a girlfriend or spouse in our post so here it goes. I might seem to be a little selfish and chauvinistic in some of the qualities I want from my significant other but I think a person is a little entitled to be picky with the person they plan on marrying so forgive me. I want a girl that has the drive and ambition to be the best at whatever job they decide to pursue but also knows that money is not the most important thing in life. I want a wife that has this ambition but also has the desire to see her kids grow up over the years. I think education is very important also so I would also require this person to have a degree of some sort as well. If I had it my way my wife would have these qualities as well as wanting to be a hands on mom and send the kids off to school everyday like my mom did. The couple minutes my mom spent with my sister and I at our bus stop every morning might have seemed petty back then but this is one of the many reasons my mom and I are as close as we are today which is also what I feel is very important. I want the type of wife that has a very strong bond with family and her children and is almost a friend of her children but also knows where to draw the line when it's needed. From my past experiences I've noticed that being in a relationship with a person that shares the same values and morales you do and was brought up in a situation and environment such as yours normally makes for a better fit. Not to say that a couple wouldn't be great for each other otherwise I just feel it's easier to understand a person on a deeper level if you share some of the same values and expectations in life.
