Talking With Ted

I thought this was cute/funny... From Pinterest

Last night we at Pitt were very honored to host "A Night With Josh Radnor." You know...Ted Moseby from How I Met Your Mother! Tickets went on-sale last week and let me tell you, no matter how early you wake up there will still be 60 people who have been there longer. However, my friends and I were very fortunate to score tickets! Last night we gathered in the assembly room and welcomed him with applause.

It really was a great night. There wasn't a lot of HIMYM discussion--maybe a little during the Q&A--so unfortunately still no word on who the mother is! He had some great advice for those pursuing careers in theater, acting, and filmmaking; much of the advice could also be directed to those of us not particularly destined for those fields. Overall, it was a great night and he was very insightful and funny on top of that!

Are you a HIMYM fan? If you could attend a discussion, who would the speaker be?

Plan It Out v. Go With The Flow

Just when I thought the bulk of the stress of my writing assignment was done, in comes the news that we have to give an oral presentation on our issue during the last few class periods of the semester. Now, that's all well and fine; but here's a bit of perspective on how close then end of the semester is...my presentation is assigned for Monday! Yikes! Hopefully I can get my presentation done at some point this week so that my week isn't as blown as this past one was because my friends and I have started planning out our weekends before the end of the semester.

Hence the topic of today's post: planning v. live in the moment. Don't get me wrong, I love just waking up and going where the wind takes me; but I am also a big planner. We have made a list of things we want to do in the city before we all go home on the 26th (close, right?)

My question for you is...

Do you think you are more of a planner or do you predominantly go with the flow? What types of things are you more likely to plan out?
