Alrighty, there's mine! (I think clicking on it will make it better?) Anyways, French 102 is pretty self-explanatory, but in case you were wondering, the others are:

ENGL 303: Short Stories
UHON 395H: Arts, Politics, and Media (my honors seminar)
ENGL 245J: Jewish-American Fiction
ENGL 239: French Filmmakers

So basically, it will be a blast! And...since both you can my favorite sister-in-law have asked for Christmas present ideas....well I always enjoy gift cards! Starbucks, Barnes and Noble, Best Buy....mostly, though, I'd really like a gift card to The Container Store!

haha is this too small??

Hello hello!

Sorry that it took so long to reply!

I can't sympathize about your busy dead week because I'm in no classes that require papers or projects :) I have a geography test next Monday, and a bio and chem test on Tuesday and then I'm done! Sounds nice and simple but I'm scared! :/

Anyways, better news... My Schedule! ( Actually it's not better news, next semester's going to suck)

There ya are! :) I'm pretty happy with all the times for all the classes, it's pretty much what I wanted. However, I'm not thrilled about having to take any of these classes. I wish you didn't have to take a bunch of dumb core classes in college. You should just go solely to study what you want. I don't want to take math or history... :(

Okay, well that's my schedule, what's yours??

Oh! Remember when I told you about our nice cat on campus, Bisbee? Well Lynh got a picture of him :)

The Beginning of the End

Well, I figure if I persevere, you'll catch up with posting eventually. :)

The end-of-semester stress is setting in. When do you have finals? For me, finals week is never half as bad as dead week. If I ever have final exams, they aren't anything I can't handle. It's the projects and portfolios and papers due during "dead" week that get me.

A friend from Omaha will be over any minute, and I'm excited for that. Tonight I'll have to study for one last French chapter test before the bigger and badder tests start up in that class. Wanna help me study for my oral exam on Tuesday?

Love,
your fave husker

Levels of Production

Technically it was your turn to blog yesterday, but I suppose I'll forgive you this one time, little sister. :)

I had a relatively productive day today...went to Ed Psych, emailed an assignment to a groupmate, worked on my English final, went to French, ate a sandwich, read my Ed Psych textbook, put in my final 45 minutes in the language lab!!, and then went to an unrequired lecture about research on getting children ready for school.

Then I got home at about five and have done very little since. Which brings me to our blog, yet another form of procrastination. Huzzah.

In other news, my coffee pot stopped working. Of course, AFTER all the lovely black Friday sales.

Also, it was FREEZING today. Several layers were required. It snowed a little bit last night, but praise God from whom all blessings flow, the roads weren't slick.

Only eight more school days till finals!! How many for you? Can't wait to see you in just a few weeks.

Love,
your favorite Husker

Break Time!!

Well, it feels good to finally be on break. Had Ed Psych in the morning; we talked about what to do when kids misbehave! I was productive during my break and worked on a paper, then went to a French class missing about half the people. We went over some new terms (les W.C! and les portes-fenetres...don't we call those French doors in America?) and then watched about twenty minutes of Amelie. Have you seen it? I doubt you watched it in high school, it's pretty, um, "mature" in some parts, but I really fun movie!

Last week we watched a French film in my English class too! Summer Hours. It was good, but very slow paced. I don't know if you'd like it. And guess what me and Tom just now watched? The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou! Remember when that came out and we wanted to see it so bad? It was not at all what I was expecting...very off beat. I liked it, though.

I'm really excited to hear about what movies you watch in your film class next semester! When do you officially sign up for classes?

How bout them apples??

So what happened to posting on Friday?? It's okay, I post now :)

I thoroughly enjoyed that video of one of the aggie players pinching your players butt. I laughed... It really doesn't represent our school very well, I'm sorry about that! But it's not like ya'll would have won had they called the penalty on our player.. :P

I'm applying for a student worker job in the choir office. Hopefully I'll get it so I can make some money for my England trip!! I'm so excited!!

This week is great! Today we got out of Geography 20 minutes early, AND!! no labs this week! Hooplah!! Now all I have to do is study for my Chemistry test tomorrow at 11am, and go to choir, and then it's headed back home for Thanksgivin' Break!! Woohoo!!

Speaking of Geography, on an ending side note, I'm almost out of paper in my notebook for that class! I'm down to 3 full pages and we still have a chapter and a half to cover.. Gah.. :( Oh well.

October 6th, 2010 (3 days till your birthday!!)

Okay so I only took pictures one day and that was to my geography class, but this is probably my prettiest of walks so I guess it's appropriate enough to show :P And the order is all wrong because I don't know how to do this yet, I'm sorry!

So this is my final destination, Zachry. I think this is mostly for social sciences and possibly physics??? I enjoy the fountain that's in front of this building, however I didn't get a picture of it. (Sad face)

Right now I'm on top of the "hill" which is the halfway point from my dorm to Zachry.

This is the view coming straight out of the commons. There are way more bikes parked here than this picture shows, and if it's not locked, odds are someone will steal it... :/
This is our little section of dorms on the South Side of campus. If you walk straight and then turn right, you'll hit the Commons where I usually eat. (Preview: I think next week we should do the foodie blog :D)

This is inside my dorm. This picture a little extra tidbit of campus life I thought you'd enjoy! On this particular morning I was sitting at my desk, studying (cough cough *cramming* cough) for my first Biology test in a few hours. Around 11:30am (only an hour left of available study time -- the most crucial time, I think!) guess what happens... THE POWER GOES OUT! So I have to move from my desk, to the little corner and steal light from the window (Lynh, my roommate, was still sleeping so I couldn't open the blinds), but then as I tried to download a powerpoint, I realized our wireless connection was down as well, so I had to go to the noisy Commons to do my final studying. It was surprisingly productive!

Okay, sorry that took me so long to post! I'll try and become more prompt at these things from now on!

HUSKER: My daily walk to school

Here is my lot. It's a bit ghetto, but a hundred dollars cheaper than the normal commuter lots. Note the football stadium? Yeah, that's kind of a big deal. 

Above view of lot.

In case you missed it before, here's Memorial Stadium again.

Here are some nice fellows. This is right outside the stadium. See the weight room? Yeah, that's not the rec. That's exclusively for student athletes. A bunch of big guys were in there today. I SO wanted to take a picture of them for you. Oh well.

There's the ped bridge we just crossed. By now we're about halfway to class!

Some nice pillars.

Now, this picture is here for two reasons: 1. Our clock tower is really lame compared to yours. and 2. This lot? Prime real estate. Faculty parking. Runs at about $1000 a year. (Mine was $300)

And on our right is the NU Coliseum where the vball team plays, also connected to the Rec Center for normal people. And from there, my building is just a block further down on Tuesday/Thursdays. About a ten minute walk!

 And there you have it! I was hoping my first post would be a little more impressive, but it was kinda rainy today so it was very point-and-shoot. What you got, little sista?!
