Welcome the new incoming Blog Squad members by the way i&#8217;m looking forward to meeting all of you!<\/p>\n<p>It was only yesterday when I remember coming back from Whitewater Rafting on May 2nd and starting my first day as a Chapman Learning Commons Assistant. A month went by and so did two courses, COMM 391 and COMM 392, which are Management Information Systems and Human Resources Management respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Now, two more months of summer have passed and it&#8217;s home stretch before school starts. What I did over the summer was make a list on Google Docs of things to do, both personal and work related, and kept working on new things whenever I have time. Here&#8217;s a taste of what I did over the summer.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Revamped Room<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Looked up how to start a sponsorship in my name (It&#8217;s really expensive and can get complicated fast so avoid it until you&#8217;re rich)!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Started my website (http:\/\/andrewli.ca). Shameless Promotion I know. It doesn&#8217;t have too much on it yet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Checked up on a lot of my friends from high school and my dragonboat team manager who I haven&#8217;t seen in along time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Began borrowing DVDs from the Library (i&#8217;m talking about the Matrix, A Cinderella Story, Life Free or Die Hard)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Came in 2nd for U19 Mixed Baddiboomers at Badmintology&#8217;s Midsummer Legacy Tournament and won a trophy and a mousepad.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I challenge everyone to keep a list like this all the time. This whole summer was a learning experience for me not just about work but about myself. It&#8217;s nice to take some time when you have a break and do some activities that jump and interest you personally.<\/p>\n<p>Question of the Week: What are you most excited about for the first month of school?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I can hardly believe the summer has almost passed.
