Hello everyone! Happy new year! I hope you had a good break. So much has happened from the break till now that I feel we have a lot to catch up on. About my last semester results, I'm glad they went quite well. I was very anxious to see my grades, though, because my finals didn't go exactly as I had predicted. So, I'm really glad things went okay.
As you may have guessed, I stayed at Luther during the Christmas break. Those staying on campus, mostly international students, were required to arrange to move their things to Miller or Dieseth hall for the break. So, that made it much less lonely than it would have been if we remained in our various halls. The bad part is that the cafeteria was closed during the break and we had to buy cooking ingredients and cook on our own. Fortunately, I got to stay in Kansas with a family friend for one week and had a really good time there before returning to Luther. And as weird as it may sound, I actually began to wish for the break to end because I wanted my friends to come back. Overall, though, I had a really good break.
Now, it's J-term and it's supposed to be the freest time possible at Luther because you're required to take only one class throughout January. But here's the problem; you'll take that class everyday and, if you're in a class like mine, you will have readings and essays to write for every class. So, after having had two classes of Philosophy: Big Question, I realize that although it's a really interesting class, things might not turn out to be so free for me afterall. Nevertheless, I'm still determined to have as much fun as I can have during this period.
Speaking of fun, the Ylvi Hall Council is working on a series of events for J-term. We are organizing a party this Friday and an even bigger one in about two weeks, among other events. So, I'm really looking forward to that. I think things are going to turn out really well...
I guess that's it for now. I wish you a prosperous 2009!
Peace
