Fall Break

So fall break started today. This is something that is completely foreign to me. This is the first school that I went to that had a fall break. But we have the next four days off. So I will be able to get a lot of work done. A lot of people are going home for the weekend. But I couldn't see going home for a weekend, especially since it wasn't a holiday. Besides, my car still needs to get fixed. Hopefully it will be fixed by the time Thanksgiving break comes. New Jersey is a little too far to walk from Steubenville. In other news...

More midterms stuff: I got my Intro to Catechetics midterm back, and I got a B-. I was quite surprised. After my PBS and Foundations midterms, I was expecting another bad midterm. So I was happy.

French class: We've been studying about ordering in restaurants. We had to come up with a dialog like the ones used in the textbook. We were grouped in groups of 3 or 4, and had to have at least 10 lines. Everything was in French, and had to be memorized. So I had to memorize lines such as "Bienvenu. Moi aussi. Je suis l'autre serveuse." and "Nous n'avons pas de carrots." I had a hard time remembering the line"Qu'est-ce que vous desirez comme viande?". But I managed alright, along with the rest of the class. If you're wondering about my lines, I am one of the servers along with another guy. The plot of the story is that everything that the two girls order in the restaurant is something that the restaurant doesn't have. For example, the restaurant doesn't have carrots and peas, but has green vegetables; and they have lemon cake rather than chocolate cake. The restaurant also doesn't have cheese. Needless to say, the skit got a good laugh.

Registration for spring 2010: I get to register for the spring semester on Monday. I am planning on taking a more manageable 12 credits. I'm planning to take Christian Moral Principles, PBS II (with Bergsma again), Catechetics, and Intermediate French II. I won't have morning classes, especially 8am classes. During the spring semester, I always plan to have later classes in the event of snow early in the morning. Of course, driving to school for 6:30am mass on Tuesdays shouldn't be that much of a problem since there aren't many cars on the road at that time. And since I get to register on the first day (and they're sophomore level classes), I should get into all of them. I showed my possible schedule to my adviser, Prof Bolster, and he said that it looked good. Oh, and one more thing: I've decided that I'm not going to go to Austria. I just feel that I'm not meant to go. Plus I can't afford it. I'm alright about not going. I mean, my life won't be made worse because I didn't go. Besides, I can always see Austria on a postcard.
