I felt like I was in Harry Potter....

So if any of you have read this book, I now know where JK Rowling got her idea for the final exams. You know how in the book all the kids go into the big room at single desks and just take a test with a big clock at the front, and a guy announces when the test is starting and over. Its just like that here. I seriously felt like we were in the book. hahah. There were like 400 people in this huge theater taking the test. Craziness.

In other news regarding this exam. I AM DONE MATH FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. I took my last calculus exam today. I think I did enough to pass which is all I really care about. But its so exciting knowing I never have to take another math test in my entire life. So cool.

My roomie Sarah came back today. She has been in Spain/Italy/Greece for the last 20 days. Its nice to have her back, especially cuz this means the straightener is back and I can do my hair again!:-D Its also cool, because she is super tan. Meaning when I go on my trip I can finally get some sun and not look like a ghost anymore.

I also saw my one Irish friend, Liam, today. I haven't seen him in awhile so it was nice to talk. I'm said though because I'm gonna miss the show that he is directing, "The Complete Works of Shakespeare". I was really looking forward to it, but I will be getting ready to get on a plane the night it opens.

Speaking of which! I COME HOME IN 19 DAYS! How awesome is that! That's under 3 weeks. I'm so excited for Italy and home. ggeeeezzeeee. Only one more test to go and I am FREEE!!

Anyways love and miss you all.

The roomies are back...

So the two roomies, other than Rose, have been on vacation for the past 2 weeks and finally came back. BOOO. It was so nice just the two of us, we never had to worry about pissing anyone off, and I got a hot shower all the time.

In additon, the days here are getting so long. I guess cuz we are farther north, but seriously the sun doesnt set until like 9:30! Thats rediculous, it has totally messed up my sense of time.

Thats it. I need to study.

Procrastination

I am the worst procrastinator. ever.

Seriously, I cannot bring myself to write this paper. It is taking me ages. I think I am spent a combined 18 hours on the computer in the last 3 days and only have 1500 words. I still need another 1500. And I can't let it take another 3 days. I have other things I need to do.

But even as I sit here typing I can't bring myself to actually continue writing. Granted today I have been much better, I have already written 600 words, yesterday I only managed to write 200.

Not only am I procrastinating with writing, but I also am with sleeping. I don't know whats wrong with me lately, I seriously lie in bed for about two hours or more before I can actually fall asleep. Its craziness. I just want papers to be done, and exams to be done so I can go to Italy.

Eight days till Italy. If only I didn't have to do all the work in between.

Maybe I'll try and do some writing now.

Ok Ok Ok

Ok kids heres a post. You people complain alot. Haha. Anyways the reason for no post is my lack of internet avalibity. My rents have been here since the last post so it was hard to do one while I was touring the country.

There isnt much to write. We went everywhere basically, Belfast, Dublin, Derry, Sligo, Donegal, Waterford, Athlone, Tipperary, Limerick, Cork, and Kilarney. And many more in between. It was very fun and I took lots and lots of pictures. In Donegal we meet a long lost cousin/aunt relative person, which was cool. I saw where my great grandmother grew up before she immigrated. Fun times.

In other news school work begins again. I have lots of stuff due soon:(. And working out has begun. The week after I get back I'm going to the beach and I need to be able to get into a swim suit.

Thats all for now, I promise more later. Miss ya kids!
