The greatest thing happened to me today!!!  I woke up today thinking "I should just ditch class" but no.  I got out of bed and took a shower and ate breakfast with Maritza.  I went back to the room after breakfast and I got my stuff and I headed to class.  Right before I walked in the building, a girl in my class told me class was canceled.  She said there was a note on the door that said our teacher was sick and that we should check our e-mails.  So I walked all the way back to my room and checked my e-mail!  And class was canceled!!  It was so wonderful.  I decided to spend that time I working on my essay since it was due today.  So I printed off my essay and then went to lunch.  After that, I had German and then I quickly ran back to my room to register for classes!!!  I took a screen shot of my schedule but blogger won't let me upload it so I'll just tell you that it looks wonderful.  I was able to get all the classes I wanted so far.  Right now, for some reason, my Monday classes aren't showing up and I'm not taking classes on Friday so it looks like I have a five day weekend haha.  Also, I'm currently only taking 14 hours because the maximum amount of hours we can sign up for during early registration is 16 hours and the last class I want to take is 3 semester hours so that puts me over...so I have to wait until some time in December to sign up for that class.  After quickly registering for classes, I had to go to rhetoric which was pretty fun today.  We went around the room telling the class what we wrote our papers on.  I was the third person to go and we probably spent 45 minutes debating my topic haha...it was pretty great.  Needless to say, we did not get through everybody in the class.  But it was still pretty fun and some of the topics we talked about were funny.
After rhetoric, I went back to my room and waited for Maritza to get back because we had plans to go swimming together.  I did not do any homework because I'm officially on Thanksgiving break and I don't feel like it haha.  Maritza had meetings and such so by the time she got back we didn't have time to go swimming which is all right because it was cold outside and I was feeling lazy (surprise surprise).  Instead, she registered for classes and we're taking a class together next semester!!!!!!!!!!  I'm so happy because it was the class I was most nervous about since it's fiction writing and people are going to judge me hahaha but now I have a friend.  We went to dinner and then we hung out in the room until 7:20ish so that we could catch a bus to take us to the other side of the river!!
Last night, our morale captain for dance marathon (speaking of dance marathon...here's a link to the page if you want to donate :)))) My Page!  I need to get a start on my fundraising....) anyway, our morale captain told us through facebook that the person we're dancing for is in town getting surgery on his leg and that our captain was allowed to bring ten people to the hospital with him!  So Maritza and I said we wanted to go.  We took a bus over to the field house and then we met up with our group and we walked to the hospital.
The kid we're dancing for isn't really a kid because he's 14.  He was diagnosed with bone cancer when he was 8 and after surgery and chemo he has remained cancer free for about 3 1/2 years!  He has to get surgery on his legs for certain reasons.  We were able to meet him and his parents and his mom told us the whole story and how dance marathon has helped their life and it was wonderful!  We were there for an hour and half just talking to them and then we had to leave.
When we got back on the bus to go home, first of all, we had no idea what bus we got on but it was alright because it took us back to our dorm, second of all, we decided to just pass out instead of doing anything so that's what we did!  Yay!
