Well, believe me, it was rough enough. I can pronounce German words all day long, but to compose the words in the correct order is another thing [...]

One week down—two to go. I am so ready for a BREAK. Think of the proverbial man crawling in the desert, kept going by only that distant mirage of water. Picture that, and that’s how I’m feeling. I have only this one class yet to get through and then I’m out [...]

I just have to write about an incident that happened today in my planning class. It has the potential of being a “had to have been there” story, so I am going to carefully lay out the background.
