It's been a wonderful break so far. The temperature has been just a little below 40 degrees Fahrenheit in the last couple of days and, for the first time in two months, I've actually been able to go out of my residence hall without wearing my coat. I've also been able find time to catch up with the CAF food [I'm still not up to a quarter way through my freshman-15].
On Wednesday, I had my philosophy exam. Fortunately, it went quite well. The questions seemed relatively alright and there was ample time to write as much as I wanted. As a result, many of us exhausted the space given for the essay and even got extra paper. Hopefully, when the results are out on Tuesday, they will be satisfactory.
For some reason, Luther isn't nearly as empty as it usually is during the breaks. Only one of the four RA's on my floor is not around, there is a good number of non-international students in my hall, and the CAF is usually quite full. We are currently rehearsing for the Ethnic Arts Festival on Valentine's Day, which I'm really looking forward to.
Generally, I think the break has been helpful in preparing my mind for the anticipated rigors of next semester, with eighteen credit units and fifteen hours a week of work-study to take care of. It's next semester that I write my twelve-page Paideia research paper and find out whether the scary stories I've heard about my next Physics class are true. No doubt, on Wednesday when classes resume, I'll be able to verify them. And hopefully, I'll be able to handle it. We're going to be just about seven in the class so things should be a lot easier.
Although I'm not really looking forward to next semester [at least as far as classes are concerned], one thing still excites me. Next week, I'll be turning nineteen! It might seem like just another birthday but it actually holds some significance. It means, legally, I will have more options during my weekends at Luther [I can now go to the club Roscoe's]. Don't worry, I'm only curious to see what it's like, even if it means just taking a peek; it's not like I'm aspiring to become a "Scoe's regular" or something. In any case, by next week, I'll be able to tell you how everything, including my birthday, went.
Until then...
Take care!
