Whew, survived the first two tests of the semester. Now I have at least one test a week until Thanksgiving. At least they're spread out.
It was good to hang out with Amy and get to talk about...well...everything over lunch. I'm going to miss her but I know she'll love it in Scotland. After lunch she had to swing by the study abroad office. Since we were there I decided to ask a couple of questions myself. My advisor still hasn't gotten any information to the abroad office about Spain or even the list of possible classes together...lovely. I asked them about Argentina and he gave me the name of the woman to e-mail about it. Come to find out, a second L&IH person studied abroad last semester (despite our advisor saying only one person had gone to Mexico) and had studied in Argentina. He didn't do his internship there, but he said the person show's address he had given me might be able to help me find one. If a L&IH major had already been there, then they must have the classes I need. I e-mailed my advisor just to see what she would say and asked: Is argentina an option for study abroad? I heard a L&IH major went last year. She replied it was not an option (basically on the bounds that she hadn't set it up). I dunno, I'm beginning to not trust her very much and time is running out.
Its so nice having an apartment where people feel comfortable to come by. Courtney, David, Matt and Amy all spent some time here this afternoon.
I worked on physics some...I think I understood the first couple of problems which made me happy. Physics to my brain is like yoga to a sumo wrestler...my brain doesn't bend that way.
I'm suppose to share tonight about Honduras. I really don't know what to say even though I've been thinking about it. I just pray that God will guide me in whatever I do say. Its been cool though to read back through my journal (well skim, I wrote a lot about the culture there and local history).
I'm debating if I should fence this semester. I mean, I want to, but I have lab Monday night, House church Wednesday, bible study on thursday, so there is really only one day I week I could do it: Tuesdays and men's soccer plays on Tuesdays. So i'm not sure if its worth paying $40 to fence one day a week, nor am I sure that i'd be able to practice enough to do decent in tournaments. It'd suck to pay all the tournament fees just to get completely creamed 5-0 every bout. I dunno.
