Winding Down

As of this writing, there are only 6 more days of classes.
That is 15 classes.
Only 15 classes seperate me from the "fun" that is known as Finals Week. It is hard to believe how fast this semester went for me. Most every college student would agree with me that the Spring Semester seems to go much faster than the previous Fall Semester. It is so tough to believe I am 15 classes and a few tests away from being a Junior. Offically halfway done with my undergraduate career.

This week was pretty eventful. I traveled down to the local mini-golf course twice since last Friday. It is quickly becoming a (relatively cheap) habit of mine. 3 dollars per 18 holes isn't that bad. Last night, I attended the final theater production of the year, which was "How I Learned to Drive". It was well performed, but the play itself was . . . interesting. I won't spoil anything, but it needs to be seen to be believed. And finally, tonight included a trip down to Michelle's Cafe to see two of my professors recite poetry and sing folk songs. I felt so cultured!

Finally, today was a very exciting day for me! My roommate and I finally found a place to live next year. It is much closer to campus that where we live now, and it is a two-story house, as opposed to the apartment we lived in this year. I can't wait to move in and begin my third year of classes.

Speaking of classes, here is my super exciting schedule for next year.
MTWHF: Intensive Spanish - 9 to 9:50 on MWF, 9:30 - 11:00 on TH
MWF: US Literature: Beginning to 1860 - 10 - 10:50
MW: Excursions of Math - 6 -7:15
TH: The Novel Across Cultures- 12:30 - 1:45
TH: World Literature: Background and Traditions - 3:30 - 4:45
As you can see, it will be a busy semester for me. 18 credits!

One last thing: I have to say, it can be quite exciting in my classes this semester when the teacher uses the Smartboard and goes onto the Internet. You see, every computer on campus has the Clarion frontpage as its homepage. There is a one-in-six chance that when the teacher opens a browser window, my smiling face will pop up very largely in front of the whole class. It makes me laugh every time.
