Brian's Progress Report: Week 5

TERM: SUMMER ABROAD '04

WEEK 5 GRADE: C+
WEEK 4 GRADE: C
WEEK 3 GRADE: B
WEEK 2 GRADE: C
WEEK 1 GRADE: F
CUMULATIVE GPA: 1.86

COMMENT(S): The only real opportunity was the last night spent in Cambridge at the Rat and Parrot. As Andrea said there were many cute girls there. But the night was more for hanging out with people in the program one last time. Earlier in the week though, Brian kinda showed off his game at the gym.

Leaving the gym, one has to give back the towel and locker key to the receptionist to get one's gym membership card back. So Brian hands over a towel and key. The receptionist then gave him a quizzical look. Instead of handing over his locker key he had handed over his dorm room key with keychain indicating his room number. A ballsy move to be sure but completely unintended - at least I hope so. Normally, such a bold move would warrant at least a grade of B for the whole week even if it had failed. Thing is, he gave his room key to the male receptionist rather than the female one. So his grade gets docked for hitting the wrong target.

Anyway, the summer abroad program and thus Brian's training, at least this portion of it, is over. He passes with a C-.
