Train Station

I just thought that I would share some pictures of the train station with all you out there because I think it is beautiful, especially the ceiling. A lot of things about it seemed old and glamorous.

Home Sweet Home

I'm coming home today! It's been a long week and I already have papers due among other homework. Right now I am waiting for my only class today to begin at 1:30. Then it's off to the train station and home.

Yesterday I went around the different club booths outside the library. There are mostly fraternities and sororities. I stopped by the Students for Social Change booth and signed up for their mailing list. I'm planning to attend a film showing and discussion they are hosting next week. I also took a flyer for Christians on Campus, but I didn't join their club...at least not yet.

Soon I'll be home and hopefully enjoying a nice restful weekend with homework.

Day 1

Well, the first day of school went quite well. My first class was Advanced Spanish Grammar. I have not had a Spanish class since, I believe, my last semester of high school, so I was a little worried about how that would go. It turned out OK because I understood just about everything said in class.

During my 31/2 hour break i worked on my Spanish homework (yes homework on the first day) in the 5 story library. University libraries are a little creepy and big. The shelves are quite numerous, row after row, and are home to billions of musty smelling books. It's also eerily quite.

Also during my break I had a nice little dinner of trail mix and an energy bar. (pictured)

My last class for the day was Human Behavior. This class looks like it will be a lot of work, but well worth it. It is really interesting and there are a lot of fun people in the class. The professor is quite funny and had the whole class laughing hysterically. The class got out early as many classes do the first week of school and I was home by 9:15PM.

If some of you don't know, I am staying at the home of a very nice German lady by the name of Lydia. She and her dog Bo Bo and cat Little Boy live quite contently about 3 miles from campus. She talks with an accent and likes to watch The Young and the Restless.
