When is break coming?
Hey Everyone,
I hope registration is going well for everyone. I know that this week is hectic for everyone, trying to get in the classes you need and then you realize that there are no more seats in the class. Or if all the classes you need conflict with each other. That’s what’s happening in my case. I have 4 classes left to graduate. Just 4 more and of course all the classes I need conflict of course, its the way the world works. So we’ll see how this works out in the next few days.
I can’t wait until Thanksgiving break. In college it becomes one of the greatest vacations in my opinion. Its timing couldn’t be any better. At this point of the year everyone starts to go a little crazy. Teachers like to pile on the work right before Thanksgiving because when we get back most start to prepare for the final in the class. I for example have 4 essays due before the break. So the timing of Thanksgiving couldn’t be better. It gives you a break from the crazy work you just had to do and it recharges you for that push you need to get to through finals. You can’t forget that you get to see your family and friends that you haven’t seen in awhile, in my case a few months. I love the feeling of waking up in your own bed, the bed that you grew up in, not your school bed. Or when you can finally shower without having to wear sandals. And who can forget the food. I never have had a problem with the food on campus but you can never compare it to home cooked meals. There’s no better meal then the one you have after being at school for awhile.
I don’t know if anyone went out to see the meteor shower the other night but I saw one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. A group of us RA’s and residents from LeFevre went out to Hasbrouck Park around 2am to watch the meteor shower. At first we really didn’t see anything and the clouds were pretty thick. However about a half hour in we saw this huge explosion/flash in the sky and then a big blue-green streak went across the sky. The tail was so bright and long that the tail was still in the sky 5 minutes later. That was the only meteor that we saw that night but what we saw was amazing. The next day I looked up videos and pictures from around the globe and from all the pictures and videos I saw none looked like what we saw. It was truly amazing.
Has anyone else played the New Super Mario Bros. for the Wii? It is an awesome game. If you ever played the original ones for the Nintendo then you’ll love this game. It’s got the old school feel to it but looks amazing. Then there’s the multiplayer mode that makes the game really fun to play. Up to four players can play at the same time. All the players are on the screen at the same time. This of course makes things interesting when you start throwing your friends of a cliff. If you have a Wii I strongly recommend getting this game.
Anyways I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving and I hope you all survive the craziness that is the last few weeks of a semester!
