This should be interesting...

So I've had to do blogs for my religion classes. I'm not a huge fan of the "blog," but here I am. I guess I thought I'd see how this works out. I don't really understand it--I just don't see why anyone would want to hear me ramble about my life... there's nothing really exciting in it. But alas, I shall try this. It could be fun, right? Here goes...

Soo, the semester's started off well enough, I suppose. Staying busy that's for sure. I'm working 20 hours on top of my 15 hours of classes. I have an endless reading list (for my classes and pleasure reading). One of my jobs is being a TA in the large enrollment Intro to Religious Studies class. So far it's pretty cool. I got my first set of papers to grade. No big deal, but using the e-learning system is another story... I went to post all of the grades, but I took a break for dinner at some point. Afterward, I turned on my recording of Pretty Little Liars (that show is strangely addicting) and went back to posting grades. Well, during my dinner break, e-learning timed out, so all of the grades I posted weren't actually posted. -sigh- I'll do it again this afternoon in the office. When I'm not in the actual class, I work in the office. Right now I don't do much. None of the profs really ask for my help because most of them are gone by the time I start, so I've really become Merinda's personal secretary. Merinda is my prof/advisor. She's pretty awesome!

The other evening the Religious Studies Student Association (RSSA) went out to dinner at Mellow Mushroom. We had a fabulous time. It was great, really.

Okay, I really did have a good time. I'm not sure what happened here. Merinda seems to be enjoying the food, though. Haa.

Chesley and Quint goofing off. Then Quint put on the glasses and we discussed what it meant to be a "real man." 

There we go! Everyone is paying attention. We ended up having around 16 RSSAers. Good times. :)

Classes are going well, I think. I'm taking Ancient Egypt to the Near East, Gender Theory and Religion, Shakespeare, Tudors and the English Bible as Literature. Shakespeare class is probably my fav. Obviously. I'm only kind of obsessed with Shakespeare. The Tudors class is awesome, but it's my favorite time period in Britain soo..... Everything is really awesome though.

Elizabeth and Allegra (two of my best friends) both agree that this semester is just too busy. We literally live for the weekend. Our weekends consist of sleep, hanging out at Allegra's place or our house, etc. Nothing too exhausting because we are too tired to do anything. We just want the break. Regardless, I'm having an awesome time.

ALMUN 2011 is fast approaching. It's the weekend before Valentine's Day. Needless to say, it's getting a bit more stressful. Oh well. It'll be a great conference. We'll have 150 high-schoolers this year--that's double what we had last year! Yay!

Okay. Enough for now. This 2-7am shift is going to be the death of me. Off to find something that will hold my attention!
