What I Learned in School Today
from Hofstede, 1980.
Interesting, no? Check out how all of the dark pink countries are English-speaking. I think he probably didn’t study all of the “20-34″ range countries, so it’s kind of weird that he’d leave those countries as white (unless the image is poor and they should actually be a pale yellow or something). Anyway, I thought it was interesting.
It’s weird leaving work for two hours in the middle of the day, but I can see myself loving it. What I can’t see myself loving are the couple of really dense undergrads in the class — don’t get me wrong, there are some extremely intelligent seeming people in the class, it’s just that a couple of the more vocal characters should maybe keep their mouths shut a little more…
Am I pretentious? Maybe. Sigh.
Compared to Fall quarter, this is a breath of fresh air. I can totally handle it. I didn’t come home wanting to drink or cry. I’m happy the beginning of every quarter won’t be like that. Whew.

Ha! So you’re still learning about maps :)… Glad to hear the quarter is starting out well, and I’m looking forward to hearing about what you learn

It WAS a poor scan — the “20-34″ range is supposed to be light blue, and light blue countries include Thailand, the Philippines, Portugal, Mexico, and Chile.
Bad scans/projectors lead to misinformation!
