The Mind of Brian

Another one of the big adjustments at Loyola has been people smoking on campus. There is even a sign in my classroom “No Smoking,” as if people were lighting up in class. Haven’t had that as part of my educational experience. I remember seeing someone smoking at Cedarville once–I was so shocked I didn’t know what to do. If I remember right, I talked to them afterwards and found out that they were a visitor. At which point I wondered if it was a “smoke-free” campus…don’t know if that had ever been addressed. That was a fun day.

Yesterday I translated a couple of Bible passages in German to begin using my language skills. It was fun. Of course, I found some places where all the rules of grammar are broken in German. Good reminder that even Germans are flexible.
