What? So Soon?

Hello again!

This is the shortest time I've had between posts! I've had a really good/ productive day today and I'm listening to Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band, so I'm feeling pretty good. It's been awhile since I've had a good day mixed with productivity and I gotta say it's a nice change to have one of those thrown into the mix sometimes. Today I successfully registered online for the two classes that I really really wanted to take this semester! I wasn't allowed to register until 8am Indiana time (2pm here), so when German class was out at 1.30, I went straight to the computer lab to make sure I would be able to register the SECOND that I could because one of the classes (the one I've been trying to get into for every semester for 2 years) had only 2 free spots left today. And I made it! Huzzah! The other class is with my favorite professor. Also, I'm excited about taking my first online class. It's a writing course, therefore I think it's pretty perfect for me to take online, since I'll only have to go to the professor if I have serious questions and the other questions can be answered through email. That leaves enough room to possibly take an extra class this semester or otherwise work a little more. But we'll see since the courses I have are definitely getting more challenging.

The other productive thing is that I'm now in a slightly more advanced class at GLS, and so far, really enjoy it. There was a little bit of a terrifying mix up this morning in the first half of classes, since they accidentally initially place me in a class an entire level higher than I thought, and I felt pretty embarrassed since everyone in my class and the teacher pretty much knew I was in way over my capabilities... anyway, the class I have now seems to be filled with pretty interesting people and the one teacher that I met today was very nice, though she is a little strict (which is good!).

Ok, I wanted to put up some pictures from Potsdam. Basically, my parents and I went to San Souci Palace. The palace, and the "guest" palace, and the grounds in general were absolutely beautiful. And HUGE. To do the entire tour of everything on the grounds, gardens, and both palaces would have taken approximately 4 hours. Since there are so many pictures, I'm going to give you the LINK to my flickr account and you can browse through them when you want.
