College Update

Hello everyone,
  
   I have decided to write this in a letter format. I don't know if it will turn out that way, but that was the intention.
   I am currently sitting in the library on the second floor. This my not seem odd to you, but I have never  gone above the first floor until this year. I was afraid of it. I didn't know the library etiquette. I have learned that it is pretty much the same as a cafeteria, but you are not supposed to talk. It is called a quiet floor. It must have been hard to come up with such a clever name as that. I have now just realized that I have been sitting here for at least 10 minutes with my headphones on, but not listening to anything. I shall fix that right now.

Intermission


   Ok the situation is now under control. I have music in my ears. Anyway, I am in the library, having just conquered my fears of it. I feel quite at home and I get a lot of work done here.

Topic Change

   I don't know how to make smooth transitions, so I have opted for abrupt, obvious changes.  Anyway,  today is November 15. There is nothing special about the date, for me at least,  but I thought I would point out how fast my 3rd semester is approaching it's end. My classes end the 29th of November. I will do the math for you. That is 14 days. Between then and now I have a french oral, an agriculture project, 3 mini essays and 2 assignments for molecular biology. So, it'll be busy. It'll get done though, so no need to worry. Or do if you like, I don't want to make you do anything you don't want to. After classes end, the 29th for those who have forgotten, I have 5 final exams. Oh I forgot that I also have a midterm next week. I should remember that. Anyway, my last exam is on the day before the hobbit coming out. I would go home that day, but I have an exam from 7pm to 10pm that night. I don't know who the brilliant person behind that idea was. I mean clearly the perfect time to test everyones knowledge of that class would be around dinner time on a Thursday night, because we will all be so focused and not the least bit tired or hungry. I will be going home on the 14th of December. I don't actually mind that much, it's just one day.

Topic Change

   This past weekend, I went home to see the musical being done by the high school. They were doing How to succeed and so on. Alma, Susi's friend, and Susi were very good. That is all I will say on the matter. Seeing as I am technically a licensed driver mom and dad thought I should continue to drive so as not to lose all that I have learned. I was under the impression that all I had to do was get the license and that would be the end of it. Apparently, that is not the case. So I drove and at night no less. It was fine, I guess. No incidents. It was nice not to have the parentals drive me around. I mean parents can be like soooo embarrassing, am I right? We also went into Rochester for Susi's theory class. Before that we to the market to get empanadas. Shout out to Juan and Maria, Holla. Best empanadas ever. We also bought cheese and olives and something else but I can't remember. I just liked Juan and Maria on facebook. Thought you should know.

Topic Change

   I am back at school now. Obviously. I had an ag lab today, but it was in a different room than normal. Turns out we were not being fed this lab, we only watched a movie. We watched Food Inc. Don't watch it if you like meat, because it is entirely possible that it will turn you veg. It is about the food industry in the US. It's sort of like a modern day version of the Jungle. We watched in a dark room with chairs comfier than I'm used to, so obviously I was fighting off sleep. My friend was actually asleep. The movie also had weirdly ominous music that sort of fit, but was also kind of creepy. It was also sad. A child did die from E. Coli, so Grandma this movie is not for you. They also show people killing chickens. Not a pleasant thing to watch.

  I'm gonna wrap this up, because Han and I are skyping soon. I lied. A kid just came up to me and asked if I could watch his stuff while he gets a drink. Effectively keeping me from leaving while he looks for a drinking fountain. He's back. I can leave.

             Yours truly,
               Jo rocks

Thanksgiving

We are all looking forward to coming up. We will be leaving the city around noon on Wednesday. I am bringing the usual stuff, cheese, nuts and other things to munch on. If you have any special requests let me know. I also have presents for the kids. Nothing too extravagant so don't get exited.
See you all next week.
