With all the registration and sign-ups for work hours going on, I am constantly reminded that the semester will be over very soon. Many activities on campus are directed towards preparation for J-term and Spring semester. Priority of registration for courses is based on the number of credits one has acquired and so I'm getting a bit anxious at the rate at which the J-term courses are filling up. I'm really hoping I get to take the course I intend to take. For work-study, I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get a decent number of work hours. I'm already turning in my applications; hopefully, I'll get a good job.
On Thursday, during the cold rain, the multicultural students met in the CFL to have soup and bread. Besides the fact that the soup was amazing, the meal seemed to have been perfectly timed for the cold. Surprisingly, though, I don't find the cold that scary anymore. Despite the fact that I am forced to reduce the amount of time I spend outdoors, I think it's very beautiful when it snows; and the nights are actually more pleasant. The bad part, though, is that it gets more and more difficult to get off your bed in the mornings, especially when you have those 8:00am classes. For people still yet to register, I'd advice that you avoid them as much as possible. There's always that lingering possibility of sleeping through your alarm, especially after sleeping at 2:30am. Besides, you don't want to be feeling drowsy in class.
Perhaps due to the general increase in the amount of schoolwork, I don't think there was any major party this weekend. However, I still did some fun stuff. This evening, I went for Gospel Choir practice and it went quite well. It was an opportunity to talk to many of my friends whom I hadn't spoken with in a long time. And the songs were actually interesting. The practice went on for about two hours and we learned 3 songs, in parts. Afterwards, the whole group went to eat dinner together. It became one of those 'social' dinners in which you laugh a lot and make a bit of noise.
I expect next week to be a bit busy. I have to register for classes on Tuesday, and I think I might have a work-study interview and other work study sign-ups due. In addition to those, I have physics and calculus tests [hopefully, those will go well]. Anyway, I still have the weekend to enjoy. I have a hall council executive meeting on Sunday and I have a movie to watch in the evening. At least, that should spice things up a bit...
Peace!

Hi Opeoluwa,
