The Return of the Belgian Snow Cat

My brother Tom left on Thursday - before he left, he posed with the Snow Cat that was erected on our street. No explanation, but given the temperatures, the cat has stayed around for a while.

I have to get serious now - exams start Jan 12 - I have one that day and two more on Jan 23. I'm pretty much ready for the one tomorrow - it shouldn't be bad. I have some reading to do for the ones on Jan 23, those too should be manageable. In between I'm working on my thesis - and continuing to enjoy that. Classes still aren't scheduled for the second semester of Canon Law - so I'm not yet sure how that will go. ... in time....

This will be a fairly quiet time - the Flemish students aren't back in town - studying at home probably. And I will only have to go to school on the days when there are exams. So won't meet many other students. I've discovered one of the purposes of classes is socializing.

I went to the coffee shop on Saturday - but didn't meet anyone I knew. But at times like these, skype is a great tool. I called some folks back in the states and it was great to connect and hear news and even just a friendly voice.

We've had snow on the ground here for a week - a complete rarity for Belgium - even the locals say so. The temperature doesn't fluctuate much, and it's been just below freezing for the whole week - hence we still have snow. I'm trying to remember what the Ugandan sunshine felt like - and having people around all the time. It helps.

Well, all prayers are appreciated for exams and papers.
Peace,
Amy
