Two Things

So, I have two main points to discuss before the Thanksgiving break. First I will be discussing my classes for next semester, then I will discuss my plans for Thanksgiving.

I registered for classes last Friday. I was fortunate, in that I got all of the classes I had hoped to. I am taking a couple of classes toward my major and my minor as well as my final University requirement, my second theology class. I'll start with the theology class. It's called "What Catholics Believe" and I'm hoping it's pretty straight to the point. My history classes for the semester include a survey of American education, a survey of Latin American independence movements, and a class on the Bloody Monday riot in Louisville in 1855, it will also address violence and politics generally in the 1850's. My classes for my minor include an internship in a South Bend public high school and a class on the psychology of coaching youth sports. I'm really looking forward to all of the classes I'm taking. I'm also excited that I have, once again, avoided Friday classes.

Tomorrow I'm leaving for New Jersey with Matt and Erin to spend Thanksgiving with Erin's family. While I'm a little sad that I'm unable to make it home for the holiday, I'm excited to see how another family celebrates. I'm also excited because I think we may go to Atlantic City on Friday, and I've got some pennies I'd like to get rid of. More on that on Sunday.

The only real news from the weekend to report, as far as I can remember, is that we went to the National Archives on Saturday before the game was on TV. It's a pretty neat place to go, and even though I had been there before, seeing those documents never gets old.

I'd like to wish everyone a blessed, safe, and happy Thanksgiving, and I look forward to updating you on mine (hopefully) on Sunday evening.

Gob Bless,
Jes
