Is going to be a super hard class :( I just looked at my syllabus, the topics, and then the notes for the first 5 sections. EEK!

There were a lot of words I have never seen before and surprisingly a few I have. I sat trying to figure out how they are all intertwined and came up with nothing :D Should be fun? I hope I remember my chem and bio chem. Riiight! Who am I kidding, I didn’t understand that stuff while I was in the class. Quite sure I don’t remember much of it 2yrs. later. Oh well. I guess I will be studying extra hard for that class.

On a side note, I just saw a man’s chest hair catch on fire when the used the defibrillator on him!!

Hostels Don’t Scare Me!!

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

Not that much anyway. I just did a little research online and I don’t think staying in a hostel is going to be that bad. Granted, none of them get great ‘ratings’ but I’m not going for luxury here. I mean, at less than 40 euro a night, I don’t expect first class service. Know what I’m sayin’ here?

Every hostel I read about had showers. One was a little scary because the reviews said the water wasn’t hot that often and something about pushing a button every 10 seconds. I admit, that would suck, but I would rather do that than walk around all greasy and smelly. Some even had a free breakfast and free internet access. I did notice that quite a few don’t have sheets and towels and others had the sheets but not the towels. I guess we’ll figure that out once we get to London. Lucky for us, Sadie’s friend has been to Paris and she most likely knows where to stay and what they have to offer so we can plan accordingly.

I’m actually feeling much better about staying in a hostel and really excited to meet some new people on this trip.
