But here I am back in brute force. These last two weeks have been a blast even though i am now on my second strain of some crazy cold bug.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Cal Poly's motto is “learn by doing” and let me tell you, there is no doubt in my mind that this is exceptionally true. You see, I was thinking about it and it's not just the classes where Poly follows their motto. You see WOW, or Week of Welcome as it is more commonly known, is a week where you travel around the community and the school and learn about what there is to do. You don't just sit in lectures telling you what you “could” do, but you actually go and do it.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">All of my classes have a lab section to them where I apply what I have learned in the most recent lecture or reading. On top of all of that the school is constantly trying to get everyone, especially those in the dorms, to try new things and apply themselves and get involved.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">In short, I am having a lot of fun, even though i am getting a little sick. I promise to get to a regular posting schedule once I get used to this whole college thing.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Here are a few pictures i have taken since I got here. Sadly, i can't upload anymore because flickr lowered their upload rate. Maybe I will finally get a Pro account...</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><a class="tt-flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/icco/259426828"><img width="75" height="75" class="tt-flickr" alt="Orange Bush" title="Orange Bush" src="http://static.flickr.com/113/259426828_a172eb8972_s.jpg" /></a><a class="tt-flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/icco/259426635"><img width="75" height="75" class="tt-flickr" alt="Highest Point" title="Highest Point" src="http://static.flickr.com/104/259426635_fc954febb1_s.jpg" /></a><a class="tt-flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/icco/259426443"><img width="75" height="75" class="tt-flickr" alt="Overview: Left" title="Overview: Left" src="http://static.flickr.com/80/259426443_78d0b20e20_s.jpg" /></a><a class="tt-flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/icco/259426292"><img width="75" height="75" class="tt-flickr" alt="Poly Canyon" title="Poly Canyon" src="http://static.flickr.com/99/259426292_180aa89f29_s.jpg" /></a><a class="tt-flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/icco/259426174"><img width="75" height="75" class="tt-flickr" alt="More Canyon" title="More Canyon" src="http://static.flickr.com/103/259426174_5c49ad065f_s.jpg" /></a><a class="tt-flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/icco/259426017"><img width="75" height="75" class="tt-flickr" alt="Campus: Left" title="Campus: Left" src="http://static.flickr.com/104/259426017_a4dceb1198_s.jpg" /></a><a class="tt-flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/icco/259425943"><img width="75" height="75" class="tt-flickr" alt="Campus: center" title="Campus: center" src="http://static.flickr.com/79/259425943_ab88008ece_s.jpg" /></a><a class="tt-flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/icco/259425802"><img width="75" height="75" class="tt-flickr" alt="More Campus" title="More Campus" src="http://static.flickr.com/100/259425802_ddab61f790_s.jpg" /></a><a class="tt-flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/icco/259425709"><img width="75" height="75" class="tt-flickr" alt="Campus: Right" title="Campus: Right" src="http://static.flickr.com/115/259425709_e876fd1b45_s.jpg" /></a><a class="tt-flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/icco/259425627"><img width="75" height="75" class="tt-flickr" alt="Mt.
