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.
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."

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."
