Well, I just had my second exam and have my last one on friday. I guess I did ok, I didn't really like the questions so it was hard coming up with things to say that showed I understood the material. The professor who wrote the part of the exam I did (there was a choice in which questions to do) isn't the best question writer in the world. It was funny during class when he would try to foster discussion by throwing questions out for us and all the questions fell flat because they weren't good topics for class discussion. But it's not too funny now.
It's hard to believe that it's all almost over here. With the exception of midnight to 2AM or 4 of every other night while my flatmates were drunk and blaring music, it's all gone really fast. I leave for London next monday and then leave for home tuesday. It doesn't even feel like I ever did any school, I guess that's cause I'm not used to the enviroment and so I dont really see it as school as such, but either way it feels weird.
I haven't got to do as much traveling as I would idealy like to do, but i guess you never can do enough traveling. There's always something else to see. But on an exciting note, I was looking over the stuff to do during my layover in London and saw that the rosetta stone is in the british museum. I had thought it would be in the Louvre so i was disapointed not to find it when we were there. But, now's my chance. I dont know if i will then have time to do much else, but as a linguistics minor i have to see the rosetta stone.
I sent off a few letters the other day asking about summer jobs. I'm already behind on all that, but there isn't much I can do since I don't finish class till after all the US schools.
well, thats about it. not much going on here since all we have to do is study.
