Motivated.
So to motivate us to participate in the class discussions, the instructors are handing out free drink tickets to either the on-site Starbucks or the Black Olive Pub. I love that they are using vice as a reward. I figure if we ace the final they'll pass out cigarettes, but personally, I'm hoping for porn.

I like it when your daily blog is short, not like your last entry which took far to long to understand with your very open minded mentality. You should come out to Hawaii and go surf, then you could talk about surfing and we would all be happy. At least I would be.

Have you visited the website for where you are? Under "Attractions" they have listed the Starbucks and the Pub. Not very attractive.

At least you have a sports center!

it's nice to know that they're tuned in to you. people don't really respond to punishment any more, and no one wants a stamp that says 'YOU'RE A STAR' on their hand.
maybe this will spread throughout the world. instead of punishing criminals, they'll just reward everyone who didn't break the law.
