One week of mindless nothingness... yes yes yes! I plan to spend the rest of my break in a full-out coma, just to let my brain rest. My body on the other hand... could use some work.
The last two weeks of school were extremely rough. I was constantly working under pressure... ick. I barely squeaked out a 15-page French paper by Wednesday... and then came even closer to barely squeaking out a 15-page politics paper. Oh boy. I must never procrasinate that much ever again! I usually don't. I don't know what was with me this week. Hopefully my other class grades will make up for a not-so-great final paper.
But I'm so glad to be home for a little while before I head off to AFRICA! I can't believe I'm going... but I'm going to miss Matt sooo terribly much! And all of my friends and my family (well, i'll kind of miss my family). Hmph. But I'm sure it'll be great, and not too long either.
I'm applying for this contest to be able to win an all-expense paid trip to go to some of the most dangerous/poorest parts of Africa with this famous journalist from the NYTimes. When I'm there, I'd be writing an article to be published in the NYTimes, how sweet is that? So, I figure I might as well apply and see what happens... I could be back in Africa sooner than anyone could have expected.
Lots of stuff still to buy. But for now I'm just chilling out, spending time with my baby, catching up on my beauty sleep.
Please, everybody, EMAIL ME YOUR ADDRESS (where you'll be April 20-May 28) so that I can send you a postcard!!!! email: lemoiner@wlu.edu
