Fellow Ladies and Gents,
Let's just put this out on the table right now:
My name is pronounced GEE-OH-VON-UH.
I find it incredibly annoying when people pronounce my name COMPLETELY wrong. Now, if you are right around then who cares, BUT that is not the case my friends.
One teacher I had in high school used to refer to me as Genovia. Either she was really into the Princess Diaries movies, or she just plain out can't sound out words. Which is really sad being an instructor.
Another professor of mine, just recently, has referred to me as Godiva….That's all I have to say.
My name is Giovana and I get the little misspelling like Geovana, Giovanna…but when you end up calling me a country or chocolate it just doesn't make sense to me. These people are here because they have degrees…..but apparently this degree didn't focus on their grammar what so ever.
It's not a name game people, ITS MY NAME…so how about we focus a little more on those little things that identify one another.
Gotta jet,

Walking in the Cold
So, it is about 36 degrees out and windy with snow flurries. Let's rewind for a second - in Florida where I'm from it's about 80 degrees and super humid. To say it's a difference is an understatement.
It's too cold here and too hot back home.
The best part of it all is walking fast to class because it is so cold, and then entering the building and just having a huge wave of sweat start pooling on your lower back, at the top of your forehead and best of all, under your pits. Now as if that isn't annoying enough, once I start to cool down I become cold because the sweat on my back is getting cold and making me cold all over again. It's a mess.
So then you think well how the hell am I supposed to dress? With a lot or a little. I sit in a class and sweat the first 15 minutes or I can freeze for my 15 minute walk to class?
And this is going everywhere, walking to my dorm, going to lunch, meeting up with friends, going to study in the library; PREPARE for a sweat puddle.
No wonder so many people wondered why I came here…it's just as bipolar as Florida weather.
Time to freeze,
