I'm so close to being done I can taste it. Next Monday at 11:00 (possibly sooner!), I am done with this semester.
I'm going to miss it, too, in some ways. This semester was really hard for me, because I had to get back into the swing of St. Olaf academics, plus try to fit back into my social circle, both of which were much harder than I thought they would be. Last year, I got to slack off, a lot. I didn't have to do much work to get good marks, and if I didn't do well, it didn't count in my GPA anyway. I don't think I remembered how to do work again until last week, really. I really liked most of my classes, though. I loved my Milton class. I love that professor and we had a really good group of people in the class. Even though I'm not the hugest Milton fan, I always looked forward to that class. And I really liked my history class, too. I don't know much about history after 1066, and certainly know nothing about English history after 1284, and I absolutely adore medieval history anyway. I'll even miss my Intro to American Politics class, even though my classmates drove me up the wall with their stupid comments.
Socially this semester has been much more difficult for me. I'm not going to go too much into that, mostly because I already complain about it to my roommate all the time, but suffice it to say I think we all need a break. We'll all go away for Christmas, and a lot of us will be gone over Interim (not me, sadly), so we'll have at least 3 weeks to be away from St. Olaf. It will do us all a world of good.
One more week, two more papers, and two more exams, then I'm done!
