Just Another Manic Monday

So if you couldn't tell, I've been quite busy since my last post, all the way back in July...YIKES. At some point there will be an update I promise, but here's a little idea of how my Mondays back at Saint Michael's are going:

Mondays:

9:50 AM Intermediate Greek with Mrs. Prof. Begley

- My second semester of Greek and while Greek and I have a love/hate relationship sometimes, the linguist nerd in me is happy.

11:00 AM Medieval Europe with Prof. Dameron
- After taking the First Year Sem. Joan of Arc last semester, part of me just couldn't stay away! I love the way Prof. Dameron teaches, partially what influenced me to take this course as well as become a History major!

12:00 PM Lunch with the lovely ladies of Pontigny 226
- The same table in the back since last year...God forbid if someone sits there HAHA!

1:00 PM Head back to my dorm room for any of the following:
- Monday Movie/Naptime: This week's featured DreamWorks "The Road to El Dorado"
Fun Fact: Kenneth Branagh, whom is most famous to me from his version of "Hamlet" (which he both directed and starred in) - shout out to ML! - voices Miguel.
- Start homework for the week.
- Cleaning which consists of laundry, dishes, vacuuming, all that fun stuff.

5:00 PM Dinner time!
- Or on days like today, go to rehearsal for the fall SMC Production: "Crimes of the Heart"
I'm assistant stage managing and getting class credit for it - a win/win!

8:00 PM Celtic Knights
- The Irish-step dance club on campus
- Here's a little plug from us from CK: The Celtic Knights is open to everyone with the desire to learn Irish Step Dancing. No previous experience is required. The group is run by students who not only teach traditional steps but also create new choreography for shows and concerts throughout the year. The Celtic Knights perform in three or four shows/concerts every year.
We have lots of fun getting to know the choreography as well as getting to know each other!

9:30 PM Head back to my dorm for more homework And I'd like to say that I get to bed by 11 PM every night...but realistically I head to bed around 1 AM.
Since switching to the 4/4 course curriculum, we students are usually in a classroom per class for 3 hours a week. It's up to us to spend about 7 hours outside of class learning on our own. In theory I agree with, but executing it is a whole another level.


I'm gonna get back to rehearsal now, but I'll leave you with a few things I'm grateful for:

1. Nights with the 226 ladies: Check out Alex's and Kayley's blogs!
2. Shopping and weekends with KK <3
3. Getting mail! - JENNA: watch your mail soon!
4. Disney movies. And just in case you weren't aware, THE LION KING IS BEING RELEASED IN 3D ON FRIDAY! Although I don't appreciate 3D - you can almost be certain I will be going to see it...

Have a wonderful week all!
