Oh Thursdays

It's been awhile since my last post... things have been busy around here! The last two weeks were slower "school-wise" but crazy on the social side :)

This week both of the groups I'm apart of are having their awareness campaigns, which means lots of "tabling" (selling things in the DUC) and then I have events to attend every night... n top of all my other meetings. So it's been a little bit crazy trying juggling all of it and then trying to study for my spanish exam tomorrow.

Speaking of exams... ugh. Round two of midterms. I don't know why they are called midterms, they should really be called triterms or something lol... But nevertheless, we are right in the middle of the second wave. I have my spanish grammar exam tomorrow, spanish literature on Tuesday, Calc on Wednesday and then urban studies... drum roll please... ANOTHER 20 PAGE PAPER! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

So as horrible as it sounds, I am actually happy that it is a "take home exam" rather than an in-class exam. I have NO idea what she would expect us to know for an in class exam and she would basically expect us to have memorized the textbook. At least for the take home exam, we can have the textbook in front of us. Thankfully, she's not assigning the paper until next Wednesday so I don't need to worry about it yet. For now, I can focus on the other three exams and then as soon as those are done, I can start the big paper. Gr. I was hoping I could slide into Thanksgiving break once my exams were over. Apparently not.

Let's see... other than that, life is pretty routine. Which I like :) I typically have class in the am, workstudy in the afternoon, then do homework from 2pm-late. I fit dinner in there somewhere and then most nights have meetings at 8 or 9. So typically my day is "finished" at 10ish and that's when I can fit the gym in. And I'm STILL PAIN FREE!!! It'll be 5 weeks on Saturday :) I feel like a pregnant woman, counting the weeks hahaha. But I am so happy to be pain free and not have to worry about that as much. I still have to wear the brace until I'm at least 2 months pain free, but my excercise options are opening up and I can actually sweat at the gym now! So normally I go to the gym from 10-11, come back and shower and finish anything else and then i'm asleep by midnight!

I can't wait to be home for Thanksgiving!! It will be so great to have some time away from school and to be able to relax and cook and bake and hang out with everyone I miss!!!
