Wacky Wednesday

Wednesday January 21, 2009

So really nothing happened this Wednesday. I got up at 7, showered and had breakfast, but then went back to sleep. I slept probably until 10:30/11, and hung around went on my computer, hung out in the other girls rooms, etc. until it was time for our weekly meeting. Our meeting was at 1:00. we just talked about things that were going on during the week coming up and they asked how we were liking Paris so far.. etc. The meeting was short- only about 25-30 minutes because we had class at 1:30.

It was our 1st day of Theology- Religions of the World. Looking of he picture of our professor that they have on the bulletin board downstairs, it looked like he would be a stuck-up french man that is a wicked hard theology professor. In his picture he is very serious and had his very big nose suck up...scary guy!

The professor though, could not be any more different from what I thought! He seems like a really cool guy. He jokes around a lot, which is good. It makes theology seem better. But after explaining the class, it seems like it won't be really bad at all. We talk about the different kinds of religions in the world. We will talk about indigenous religions, Buddhism, Judaism, Islam, and basic religion today. he's not really expecting us to anything beforehand, which is how I felt about my other Theology class, and its all new material. It seems like it'll be a very interesting class overall.... Even better than the philosophy class! Knowing that the class won't be too hard (i hope) makes me feel a lot better about the semester.

After class, we waited around until dinner and basically did nothing that night. Boring day. But as we were going to bed probably around 12:30, the madness started. The walls here must be like paper thin, and we can hear a lot of what is going on in the rooms next to us. Our room is in between the bathroom and another person's room.So we can hear people's conversations either way. Well these two girls next to us, they are form the Staten Island campus. They seem nice, kind of quiet and weird, but overall nice. Well once 12:45 hit, they were both on skype talking to people from home.. well not talking ... basically SCREAMING. At 12:45, you know its only quarter to 7 at home so everyone at home is still awake. They must not seem to care about the people around them may be trying to sleep. It is so aggravating. Not only can i hear them talking, but they have the volume so loud, i can hear the people form America talking--- i can follow their whole conversations!!! ( and now this basically happens every night) What really bugs me is if its 2 am and they are still going at this! I can hear them screaming through the computer talking to their dog! (I'm not sure which girl it actually is.. could be both, but either way its just as obnoxious!)

well I'm done venting about them for one day! haha

until next time...
