A busy month, and "dumped" what?

Sorry, it has been almost a month since my last post.  I have been really busy!  Since my last post, for my four upper division classes, I have had to write and turn in four papers, taken three midterm exams, taken one quiz, and given one in class presentation.  But that is not all I've done, I have helped man the geography club booth for two days to raise money to build a womens center in Mozambique, I am one of the VP's for the Geography Club, I am involved in MOZWOC, which is a project that is partnered with an NPO to raise funds to go to Africa and build a center, and I am also a member of the Japanese Club and the Chinese Club on campus.  In addition to all that I have joined the history honors society, Phi Alpha Theta, and have also gone to three separate lectures offered/sponsored through the university.

I feel like I'm running full speed and am worried what will happen when I trip or hit something, how will I continue with this balancing act?

I'm sure you don't want to hear about how busy I've been, but would rather hear about an adventure!

Earlier this month I had arranged to have a study group to prepare for a midterm in my Medieval History class.  So we met on a Saturday morning at the library on campus.  For the midterm we were given the essay, but didn't know what the Identification Questions would be.  We were going over our notes and thinking of all the possibilities for an ID.  One possibility was Bede, who is Bede you might ask, well he was "dumped" on the steps of a monastery in Northumbria, England, when he was a baby.  That came straight from my notes, the "dumped" turned into a conversation of how some people don't shut the door when the go to the bathroom or don't turn on the lights at night, and of course I had to chime in with how to use a squat toilet in Asia!

In Japan when you use a squat toilet you face the hood of the toilet, and I always pull my pant legs up to my knees for fear of splatter because I didn't squat down enough...

 The toilet at one of the schools I taught at in Japan.  

This is the toilet for the faculty!

You would face the wall so your backside is to the door if it is accidentally opened!

My lovely sister-in-law for some reason always pictured that I had a toilet like this in my apartment, and she always thought it was where I might accidentally step in it!  Love that imagination!  Now you will probably think the same as my sister-in-law, no matter how much I try to convince you that it was not true!
