Random Notes: Volume 1, Issue 2

I'm finally getting better, which means...I can eat chocolate!!! I'm already 2/3 of the way through my Dessert Au Chocolat (don't that sound fancy?) Milka bar, and I opened it up five minutes ago.

By the by, Milka chocolate is basically the European equivalent of Hershey's chocolate from what I understand. And speaking of Hershey's, I got some M&M's at the train station yesterday, and though they were overpriced, the fact I was eating AMERICAN candy made me really giddy!

I like how they do bed covers here.

Instead of a sheet on top of the mattress, and then a cover over that, they simply slip the sheet over the cover (like a pillow)

It's really comfortable, and you don't have to worry about dirtying the comforter/cover thing. It makes me think of a two-for-the-price-of-one thing, for some reason.

Krista and I had a child this weekend. Her name is Gwendolyn. More on that later, but isn't Gwendolyn such a beauteous name?

I had my first midterm today. It went fairly well - it was mostly essays and ID's, and I don't know how Dr. Hass grades them.

I decided to have a little fun with myself for one of the ID's, where he gives you a keyword, and you give some information bullet points on that keyword.
The ID was for the 30 Years War, and for the background, I wrote a bit about the Second Defenestration of Prague.

Here's Wikipedia's version: "....Soon after, the two Regents were thrown out of the third floor window along with the Regents' secretary, Philipus Fabricius, but survived after falling 70 feet."

And here is my version; "Protestant rebels were gathering in Prague, 1618. Catholic king sends messengers to break it up. Messengers promptly tossed out a window."
