A much lighter note

So we meet again, this time on a much lighter note.  Life’s pretty good right now—midterms a thing of the past, Thanksgiving right around the corner, classes are rolling to an end.  With all these things, though, comes more to think about.  New classes, airplanes, and more busses are up and coming.

Registration for CentreTerm and spring term is underway now.  CentreTerm classes have always had a reputation for being awesome.  I know that this winter, classes offered to freshmen are particularly awesome.

Classes range from "studying the effects of the automobile on our lives" to "looking at the importance of cafes and caffeine on societies around the world." (This latter class includes going around to different cafes in town to sit and talk.) I’m thinking about taking a class taught by President Roush on leadership, and another where I’d get to travel to Washington, D.C. for 3 nights. For the spring, which will be here before I know it, I’m looking into more economics classes and another Spanish class—my two favorite classes at this point.

In about 2 weeks from now, I’ll be on a plane back home to Ithaca—actually I can’t wait. It’ll be my first time home since coming to school.  Thanksgiving might be my favorite holiday and seeing my entire family and friends will be great.  We eat at like 3:00 in the afternoon on Thanksgiving day, and spend the rest of the day watching football and doing what I like to do most: nothing. Sleeping in my own bed, showering without having to wear sandals, and moving around in my house instead of a small room—how nice!

At the end of this week I head to Greensboro, North Carolina with the cross-country team for Regionals. Depending on how we do, we’ll advance to Nationals, in Ohio. I’m determined to run at Nationals, especially this year as the only freshman running on the advancing team.

That's all for now.
