J-Term, Saint Charles, & Tea.

J-Term is about the only thing going on in my life right now. We have the equivelant to one weeks worth of class in 3 hours, every day. So 15 weeks of class in 15 days. Luckily, my teacher is somewhat animated with his lectures, so it is easy to pay attention. I usually end up taking notes several hours a night due to his lectures being powerpoint free, structure free, and student led. It makes it very interesting.

I like being in Saint Charles much more than I like being in Owensville. I have many more friends, things to do, and fun people to be around in St. Chas. I do think it's good to go to Owensville to slow down life a bit, it always seems to move very quickly when i'm at school.

I've started to enjoy Herbal Tea. I can't stand regular tea, but I particularly enjoy flavored herbal teas. Tonight, i got to thinking, why couldn't you just rip open the tea packet and just drink it along with the tea? Well according to a few websites you can, recommending you only do this with gourmet teas, rip open the tea packets & pour that into your tea. 35% of the "goodnesses" of tea are water soluble & the other 65% are in the leaves themselves. . . Think about that one.
