Day 2

My Hebrew final took place from this morning from 8-10. it is over!!! I think it went ok, but it doesn't really matter now:) Next on my agenda...driving home and making chocolate covered pretzels to pass out during our homegroup. They are rather tedious to make but they are so very good! Actually the reason I am making them is because somebody gave me the chocolate once because they didn't want it and pretzels are a buck a bag. Couldn't get much cheaper than that! I really need to sleep though so maybe I will do that at the same time and kill two birds with one stone. I slept a good 7hrs. on Monday night but after a long day of studying and a stressful exam yesterday, and a 2hr. night, a stressful exam this morning, and a study session today I'm kinda tired. Three more paper/exams left and I am home free!!!!!!

Day 1

One final (History and Politics of Russia) is down! I think I did alright on it, at least well enough to keep my A in the class I hope. One more exam to go at tomorrow morning at 8 for Hebrew.:( So not ready! That will be all for the test exams, but I will still have 3 papers left. The one due Thursday I have to read the book first and then do a critique type thing on it. One Friday I have one small paper that should only take a couple hours and then finish up the exam essays for another class. There are 9 of them but they only have to be 350-700 words and I already have some stuff written for them. Well, break over, I need to get back at it. Hebrew won't learn itself. That is my dream, but after being indoctinated by dispair.com we know that we are not getting paid to believe in the power of our dreams so I need to get to work:)

My picture!

I'm sitting here studying for my History and Politics of Russia final and a guy came over and asked if he could take a picture of me studying for the school. That's cool, especially since I don't even have to look at the camera, I just have to look like I'm studying. I was reading so he took a picture or two. Then, since I had my computer out, he asked if I could look like I was doing something on the computer. I must have had a questioning look on my face because he went on to say, "we want to highlight macs as much as possible."! So, I don't know if I'll ever see that picture in print (its doubtful) but I thought the whole thing was cool!

Home again?

I am really missing my family today! Except for Hannah and Adam I haven't seen anybody else for even a weeks worth of time. I am completely ready to come home. I'm tired of waring with academics and still not getting it. Somedays academics are new and exciting but of late they have been more of a struggle than a joy. One more week! Then I have to work and who knows when I'll be able to come home or for how long. I long to come home but I need hours so if I have to stay around to get them I guess that is how it is going to have to be.
