This past week was very exhausting. My classes are going great, but I have a lot of work yet to do by the end of the semester. I think this is going to be the most challenging semester of my four years here. I am taking seven classes, so that is probably a contributing factor to my workload, but I will be able to get through it.

This weekend, I finally got to see the first two Lord of the Rings movies. They are really excellent, and I am going to have to purchase them for my own collection. I can't wait to see the final one. Saturday night, Danielle, Laura, Petey, Jenna and I went to Super Sheetz on 17th Street in Altoona. I had a slice of pizza, a cup of fries, and a cup of coffee. It was so delicious. We had a great time, and everyone enjoyed his or her "nutritious" dinner.

On Sunday, my roommate and I watched the Colts and Giants football game since the Steelers played last Thursday. The Steelers did surprisingly well even though Big Ben did not play. I am glad that they won, but I hope Ben gets to play in the next game against Jacksonville. I also went to Weis in Altoona and bought some groceries. Hopefully, I can get some of my reading done on Monday so I can enjoy the rest of my week...

Ciao!
