Happy Birthday to mi padre

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAD!!!! I love you!! (Everyone wish Ronnie a happy b-day!)

First day of classes. I had all 4 of mine today. I think I'm going to like my psychology class, and the professor seems really fun. My biology class is going to be a little tougher because science is not my forte. My biggest challenge will definitely be British Studies. It consists of a one-hour lecture followed by a one-hour seminar every Monday and Wednesday. There is A LOT of reading and quite a few presentations and tests.

Other than classes, I didn't do too much today. I just got back from basketball practice.. haha. That's right, I might play for Harlaxton College. It's a guys' team, but they make it Co-ed here because there is no girls' league. We have games against other local colleges. The coach favors the boys playing, and it's obvious. I doubt the girls will get much playing time. There were 22 people who came out to practice tonight, and he basically told us he could keep 12... He also implied that none of the guys would be cut (even though 4 of the girls are clearly better than 1 or 2 of the guys). So I guess they'll keep 3 or 4 girls. If I don't make it, that's fine... I just thought it would be neat to say I played on a college team in England. And, it would be a great way to stay in shape since I'm eating so many potatoes, rolls, and biscuits over here. :)

So I don't know much else at the moment. I only have one class tomorrow and it doesn't start until 3:10 ! ! ! haha. I'm going to study late tonight and sleep-in a bit tomorrow. I'm planning to meet my friend Caitlin for lunch, then we're going to town to get some snacks and stuff from Morrison's (Grantham's grocery).

I'm off to study... Once again, Happy Birthday, Dad!!!
