It seems one week of school has made me want to take a trip out of the country!  My brain had to start to think in “school mode” again!  After a summer of working and taking a regular class at Marymount, the European classes have forced me to think in a way I never have! 

My worst days are Wednesdays.  I start at 8:45 a.m. and go until 5:10 p.m. with no break whatsoever!  There are only 5 minutes between the classes here!  I don’t even have time to eat lunch!  So they will be difficult, but I will survive.

Problem-based learning takes you out of textbooks and forces you to think on your own.  Unfortunately, the classes I had last fall are what we are using, and a year can be hard on your memory!  I foresee a lot of studying ahead of me!

But tomorrow, Marjaana and I are going to set out for Antwerp.  We decided tonight!  Taking a short break for the weekend seemed like the way to go.  Marjaana is a student in my classes from Finland.  We both don’t know Dutch, but I have my trusty phrase book and we can point!

I will fill you in on how it goes, but I will leave you with the sunset from my window!
