And the last has begun.

Second semester senior year. A dreaded time in a college career full of standardized tests, partying, fun classes (often referred to as "blow-off" but I don't really like that choice of terms), and endless questions of "So what's after graduation?".

My semester has been pretty awesome so far though. I have received a very nice welcome back from all of my friends. I missed Champaign, it's good to be back in a normal routine and not a crazy mixed up schedule week after week. The weather sucks and I keep wondering why I like Illinois. Where did the sun go!?

I have a pretty sweet line up of classes. My psychology lab (required for graduation) isn't too bad besides being at 9 am T/Th and my learning and memory class seems really interesting. After those two "real" classes, I'm taking photography, bowling, ice skating and wine appreciation. SO there will be no complaining by me about homework or anything this semester.

I am going to be pretty busy though. Most of those "blow-off" classes meet twice a week for twice the amount of time I actually get credit for (still so worth it) and CAC is going to be a little crazy. I'm also a Campus Rep this semester for Disney so that is going to be somewhat time consuming. It's going to be a good semester though, I can tell. :-)

I don't have any really funny stories yet except that I can't stop in ice skating. We learned a snow plow stop and I just can't get it. :-/ Meh, oh well. I'll learn sometime. I'll just run into little kids for now.
