Madness.

So I'm realizing that my classes are extremely difficult. Level 3 courses are extreme, to say the least. Right now I'm in the process of switching out of two of them and replacing them with Level 2 courses, which are (hopefully) more suited to my academic level. It's insane. I'm trying to get things approved and meet with professors and advisers who never seem to be around... the system here is wacky. I've got to meet with the department head (a professor 'in charge' of the department) so he/she can 'approve' my classes in an email to another faculty member in another department who does all the official registering for students. Also, I have to email back to Iowa and get my new classes provisionally approved so that they count toward my English degree. All the while, the classes that you want to switch into are going on... It's nerve-wracking. I hope all works out soon so I can have a more stable schedule.

Any who, I got to play some European-style basketball yesterday. Jackson and I went to the basketball club's meeting, and we got into a 4-on-4 game. It was nice to get back on the court, but I miss playing at the fieldhouse a lot. Aside from that I've been going to classes and reading. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed, but hopefully my new classes remove some of that stress.

On another note, we're going to London this weekend! Sarah has some friends that she wants to go and see before they leave for Australia, so Jackson, Will, Meredyth, and I are going with her! We fly out on Friday morning and come back on Sunday night in time to watch the Super Bowl at midnight! Should be a grand time. I can't wait to take some pictures and see the city!
