Oh my gosh. I hate rain right now. If you think it rains a lot in Ohio, no, you are wrong. Ohio has NOTHING on Luxembourg. It can be completely sunny one moment and then BAM torrential downpour. An umbrella is necessary at all times, even if it’s beautiful outside. But you don’t want to hear about that, so moving right along.
Today was my first day of classes! I was excited to get into a schedule, but that also means a lot of work again. I don’t think I’ll be reading quite as much as I do in my English classes back at Miami, but it probably won’t be as easy to read as novels. I am absolutely psyched for my music class. I didn’t realize how much I missed playing the piano/listening to classical music until we did a quick run through of the music periods in class today with sound clips. Plus we’re going to Milan and Pisa for that class. Awesome. Introduction to the European Union has potential… it’s a lot of reading but if the prof can lead a good discussion it will be a fun class. I’m slightly less than excited about French now because the teacher talks at us like high schoolers… and I have the feeling the class is going to go very very slow since it’s so big and we have to stop every five minutes for her to go around the room and listen to each person repeat a phrase. I can’t remember much French from high school, but at this point I’m almost regretting not taking something higher than practical, conversational French with everyone who has never taken it. Almost. We’ll see how I feel when I start having work in my other classes.
It has been mild chaos as we plan our trips for these next few weekends. We’re probably going to Bruges and possibly Brussels this weekend, so tomorrow Aunna and Brad are going to check the train tickets. Unfortunately I have class all day and can’t tag along.
(I wrote this all last night and will probably post again about today... which is now the second day of classes. This whole not having internet at home this is a real bummer because I never think to write anything until nighttime...)
