News of the best possible sort
So yesterday I mentioned that my application to study abroad at the Universidad de Deusto en Bilbao, Espana was pending approval. Well, as of today, that is no longer true. I have been accepted to study abroad from September to December of 2008 at the Universidad de Deusto. Bilbao is in northern Spain and is home to the Guggenheim Museum as well as many other beautiful buildings including several gorgeous churches, which I intend on visiting. Also, included among Bilbao's sister cities are Pittsburgh, PA in the U.S.
My classes in Bilbao will start on September 2 and go until December 12. So I'll be gone by Labor Day weekend. I'm going to be taking four or five classes focusing in Spanish Language and Culture. Apparently, the climate is relatively temperate and this is not a place with winters like ours; their average temperature in December is 10 degrees Celsius. So umm...I'll be leaving my winter coat in Michigan, thank you very much.
I'm so excited!

What is this world coming to?
Okay, so classes started today. I'm taking 18 credits, which is 6 classes, but one of them is online and Lauren is in another one of them, so life is beautiful. But I was sad to return to classes this morning because it meant the end of break. I've loved my break; it was great. I watched movies, drank coffee, hung out with friends especially Jenny Pink, and had an amazing weekend at the UCO/SPO Winter Conference in Columbus, Ohio. God is still good.
But then I returned to class this morning. Although, apparently, this poor Mexican child had a much harder time dealing with that concept than I did. I would NEVER glue myself to a bed to avoid school. It sucks but it's not THAT bad. And then he had to go to school anyway. That was not worth the trouble involved.
In other news, my study abroad application is now being processed, so please keep that in your prayers.
