Finals week! Except for Jennifer and Elizabeth, you lucky girls. I only have two finals next week, an Arts of Africa test on Monday and an Introduction to Environmental Science test on Wednesday. My other finals were this past week, thank goodness. My design portfolio was one of the most stressful things I've had to do this semester and even though it sounds easy, I was up till six AM Sunday night, Monday night and Tuesday night trying to get it done.
Hopefully I'll be seeing Jennifer and Elizabeth when they come to Iowa City Tuesday to visit while Anne and I frantically try to study for science.....
See everyone in a week!

it's that time
It's technically a reading weekend...have I done much reading for finals? no. Will I do enough before Monday? Well, that would be the plan, but considering I have to get up to take Zeb to the airport tomorrow morning, I could see myself sleeping all day...which would be a bad idea, I think.
It feels crazy to me that finals are next week (for me). I guess I made it through my first semester at BYU. As long as I can get through my American Heritage final, I will be good to go. I'm going for a 65-75% on that.
Here's for exciting news: I finished applying for this international language program (ilp) and will more likely than not be moving to China in August for the fall semester to teach English. (I'll know for sure next week before I come home) Second news, I may or may not be moving to Florida this summer to work the glorious job of a door-to-door saleswoman for POINTE Pest Control. Awesome, I am going to know so much about bugs...and hopefully be rich by July.
Good luck with finals, everyone

I'm halfway done with finals!!!
Today I took my calculus and physics finals. Here's how they went!
Calculus was decent... the first 8 questions were from the earlier parts of the semester and were pretty easy, the other 12 were over series. I don't know a dang thing about series. There was a question which involves the Maclaurin series of arctan. To be honest, I don't think there is a single useful application of that series. If there is, please let me know. At any rate, that test was over completely trivial information.
Physics was easy, except for the fact that i was completely stupid on the last question and it ended up taking a good 30 minutes. It was an easy question, too, but I kept on making the same calculation error. Needless to say, I was frustrated, but hopefully I'll do well
Still to come! Chem Lab and Chem Lecture!!!! OH BOY!!!1

The Sims 2 is like drugs
I made the terrible mistake about a week and a half ago to get the sims 2 on my computer. Needless to say, I have gotten very little work done since receiving the game. I have, however, had my sims earn a small fortune in that time, which I'd say is pretty productive.
We are now in dead week here, which means there's absolutely nothing to do as most of the campus is in hermit mode studying. My plan is to watch a few seasons of Top Gear, which is a hilarious British show about cars. It should be a very good time.

My college experience
I was studying for my math test and came across this question:
A ward has 20 eligible people to be chosen as bishop, first counselor,
and second counselor. How many bishoprics could be formed? What is
the answer if the bishop has already been chosen?
The answer, by the way, is 6840 bishoprics and 342 if the bishop has already been chosen. Oh, the things I'm learning...

breathing for break
So, Thanksgiving break has come and gone. Now I am living for the next break, Christmas. As much as I enjoyed my Thanksgiving break away from everything, it will be nice to join in the fun in Ames over Christmas.
I had intended to be productive over break while I had no distractions, but for some reason or another it just didn’t happen. Surprise, surprise. I did enjoy the extra sleep and mass amounts of food offered to me though - I was lucky enough to score two meals on Thanksgiving, and because of it didn’t have to worry about feeding myself for three days after due to the excessive amount of food I consumed. Thank goodness for having people in Provo to feed and entertain me, break could have been a lot lonelier without them!
Now I’m down to two weeks of school, which means only ten more days of bus rides. Over the course of the last semester I have managed to meet a lot of interesting people and befriend two. In just the past few months I have had a man tell me I’m lonely and I need to start dating or I might die alone, I met an awkward guy that looked exactly like the Ken doll, and am yet to talk to the man who, for the past month or more, has always found a seat next to me. It has definitely been a process to find the two people I could befriend. I’m looking forward to starting the process all over again next semester….
Oh, and the first real snow of the year officially came today. It’s so pretty, and the great thing about it is that it’s not 2 degrees outside, so you can actually enjoy it!
