Got my car back, and I got my passport and visa

I finally got my car back after almost a month of getting fixed. A lot of things had to be replaced in my car, including the engine. I don't know too much about cars. I just know how to start it. But anyway, the problems seem to finally be fixed. The car is now running good. It's too bad I won't be taking it back to Steubenville until August when the fall semester begins, since I'm going to Austria next semester. But I'm glad it's fixed. I just hope that I don't have problems with it when I go back to campus in August.

I also got my passport and visa in the mail yesterday. So now I'm all set to go to Austria. It's hard to believe that I leave in exactly four weeks. It's starting to become more and more real that this is really happening. The people who were in Austria for the fall are now home. So now it's our turn to experience Austria! I'm really looking forward to going. Although I'll miss everyone at home. But it's so much easier to stay connected with people now than when my father went to Italy with the Navy in the 1960s.

Semester is now over, and the grades are now in

So I got all of my grades back. Most of them were fairly good. I didn't do as good as I would have liked in Theology of Christ, and didn't expect to get the grade I got. But it could have been worse. And that just means that there's room for improvement next semester in Austria. So I got a C in Catechetics, a D+ in Theology of Christ, a C in Mariology, and a B in Catholic Social Teaching. They could have been better, and did not expect to get a D+ in Theology of Christ. Hopefully next semester will be better.

Bridge over troubled water

Originally I was going to post a song that was sung by Voorhees Choir at Rutgers, but blogger wouldn't let me upload audio files. So this had to be the next best thing. Anyway, I feel like this song just sums up this semester. I feel like there have been so many things that I've had to worry about: from problems with my car, to trying to find someone to sublet my apartment (with no success), to missing friends who are currently in Austria. Through all of that, I know that things will be alright. I just feel like this semester has been such a stressful semester. It hasn't been a hard semester. Just stressful with all of the papers and assignments due. I just pray that my semester in Austria will be my best semester ever.
