Showers
I live in a two story building with 19 girls and 7 showers. 19 to 7 sounds pretty good, until all of the showers decided to break. For the last three months at least four of the showers have had problems with water pressure, one downstairs is so hard that it hurts and three others are barely trickling (not even hard enough to get my hair all the way wet). I had just gotten resigned to the poor water pressure, since we have asked facilities to it three times and they haven't gotten around to, it when the hot water heater that heats four (the four that were actually working previously) of the seven showers broke. Then there were three broken showers, 19 girls, and a leak in the ceiling. Thankfully facilities took us seriously and worked on the water heater for two days straight (didn't bother with the water pressure). It was very exciting when it started working again. Not even five hours later the water heater that controls the three other showers broke and the pressure in the other showers started sputtering. Might I just say, that it is rather entertaining to watch 19 girls who do not have any working showers. (Thankfully I found a working shower to use today, and I can not even begin to describe how wonderful it was to actually have pressure)

Classes
MWF
11-12 Art Appreciation - should be easy - the teacher is fun (wonderful Australian accent) but strict
TTh
8-9:15 Math for Teachers - fun and easy just like the last one
9:30-10:20 Concepts of Wellness - I got the easy teacher :) - Class was canceled on the first day
11:15-12:40 Environmental Science - I am getting the feeling that the class will be more about politics than science - probably my hardest class
2-3:15 Intro to Linguistics - The teacher is very fun and makes the class sound good even though I have heard a lot of bad rumors
Online
BibLit Esther, Ruth, Daniel - really excited about this one - we are going in deep to the books (first commentary I've had to get for a class :)) and we get to watch veggie tales :D
All in all it looks a lot better than last semester and pretty much all my teachers are ok about me skipping a week to go to Guatemala, although the one teacher I thought would be the most open wasn't to excited about the idea.

More classes
Only two classes today which is wonderful compared to yesterday. The only problem is I have to get up a lot earlier for them.
Physical Science 8-9:15 - Did not sound good at all but Abby has assured me that come Thursday, when the lab starts, the class will be much better.
Creative Drama 9:30-10:45 - This class is going to be amazing. I am so excited. It is essentially story telling and drama for elementary age and the teacher said we will be playing a lot of games in class. One of the games we played today was very similar to duck duck goose except you had to hit people with a rolled up newspaper. It was fun.
So Tuesdays and Thursdays are going to be nice

Classes today:
JCC 11-12:00 - I am an assistant for this class so it is my second time taking it and it looks like it will be pretty fun.
Dance Movement 12-1:05 - Extremely fun! started out with the chicken dance and a German dance that is going to take me a bit of practice to get.
American Civ. 1:15-2:15 - Nightmare waiting to happen
Child Development 2:30-3:20 - Very excited about it. Had a pop quiz just for fun today and I got half of the answers correct while most people only got a couple :).
Sermon on the Mount 5:15-8:15 - Not exactly what I was hoping for but it won't be that bad... we'll see.
Rather crazy day with no lunch break but I will survive. At least there are only two classes tomorrow. So far this looks like it will be a rather fun semester.
