Last night before I went to bed I posted something here but blogger totally ate it! Or maybe my internet ate it. That's probably the case since all my problems can be blamed on the internet here. I cannot wait to go home and have dependable internet, even if it is a little slower. One week. And maybe I'll post again after my test today. Yes, a test. Who gives a test on the last day of class before finals...then still gives a final! There should be rules against that.

Ok I am seriously kicking this paper's butt. I have seven pages and I think I'm pretty much done besides actually writing my thesis statment (so much easier to write after the whole paper is done) and my conclusion. I don't think I'm going to make 8 pages but that's ok, because I think it's a really decent paper. And I'm done. HA
Well, two weeks down, two weeks to go. Today I'm supposed to write an 8 page term paper. Shouldn't be too hard. I don't care too much about how it comes out so that makes things a bit easier. I think it's like 25% of my grade or something ridiculous like that. Oh well.

This is my second to last weekend here; that's quite weird to think about. It's been tough trying to be focused. They give us spring break a month before school gets out, then they expect us to come back and do decent work. Yeah right. By this point we all want to be at home doing nothing. But I'm just going to suck it up and plow through the next two weeks. And besides, this is my last two weeks to spend with the people here for quite a long time. Many of them I won't be seeing until January.

So that's it, I guess I'll stop procrastinating on my paper now.

So I thought maybe I should update, seeming how it's April 18th. I've been back at school for the past week and I'm sitting here wondering how I'm going to get everything done that's due the last week. I have procrastination bad right now. Well mostly just the past few days. I'm hoping to move past it today and finally start on a term paper I've been putting of for, well, all term.

Two more normal weeks of school then finals then I'm out of here. It's hard to believe, I feel like I just moved in. Well, I don't feel like I just moved in, but it definitely doesn't seem like a whole school year has gone by. Last year felt twice this long. Last night (actually this morning) I had a dream that I was with Mel and Al and I think we were in the Sydney area. We went to go see Leah's softball game. I think that was the most unrealistic part of the whole thing - Leah playing compeptitive softball. There was this snafoo in the last inning and for whatever reason Leah didn't get to bat like she thought she would and she was really pissed off. It was kinda funny, but not until I woke up. Then somehow we were on my college campus and I don't remember what we did after that. I think I woke up. Wow and the really funny thing that I just realized is that Leah probably doesn't even know how to play baseball except maybe vaguely from watching it in the states.

And now I'm sitting here listening to awful music from the swap meet next door. I really hate Sunday's here for this reason. It's almost reason enough to make me go to church on Sunday morning rather than at night, but I just can't stay alert for the service in the morning. So I guess it's crappy music for me for the next five hours.

Just a little blog to say I'm at home and it's absolutely beautiful here. LA is so ugly it's ridiculous. I spent a couple minutes in the car on the way home wondering why I could see everything on the hillside, then I remembered that's normal. More later perhaps.
