Yep, it's exam time. Or rather, it was. Now I'm done.
I was planning on doing my end of the year wrap-up post today, which would have been more of a reflection on my first year of college than a simple weekly recap. Turns out I could not escape being really busy all day, and seeing as I skip town tomorrow morning (Is it still skipping town if I just announced it on the internet?), I intend on spending my last night here with some friends rather than tap-tappiting away on my computer, which I can do all summer long. So I've decided that today's post is going to be the usual week's summary, and it's going to be (more than) a little shorter than most of my posts. This being the case, I will post one more time, after I get home. I might wait 'til next Monday, or I might just go ahead and do it before then. Either way, you'll get one last post after this one. On a somewhat related note, I don't really expect any of you to post this week (except maybe Nicole), so don't feel like you have to.
So let's dive into it.
For World Lit, I had to write one final paper and turn in revised versions of the other three papers I had written throughout the semester. I think I touched on this a little last week, but in case I didn't, my paper compared aspects of Genesis, Way to Rainy Mountain by Momaday, and "The Babylon Lottery" by Borges. I think I wrote a decent paper.
Also pertaining to World Lit, our professor had the whole class (all twelve of us, or something like that) over to his house for dinner on Monday. He's from Italy and he made pizza and the pizza was good and I ate the good pizza and I was happy and it was awesome and then I went home and apparently forgot how to construct even marginally sophisticated sentences.
Biblical Lit had a self-scheduled exam, and I took it on Thursday. Pretty easy test, probably because I read that book really, really closely.
On Saturday morning I took my British history exam. We were given eight cartoons, drawn by British cartoonists between 1688 and 1815, and we were asked to write short essays on four of them. Lots of thinking (and hand-cramping) was involved.
Earlier today I sat through a very brief physics exam. I really hope that class was as easy as I think it was.
Packing, cleaning, and organizing has taken up the majority of my time over the last few days, and I really don't feel like talking about that, which is perfect because you really don't feel like reading about it.
I'll be traveling all day tomorrow, and on Wednesday night I will be attending the CdM Track and Field Banquet; I expect good senior speeches. Well, I hope for good ones. Maybe 'expect' isn't the right word for it. What I do expect is to see you all very soon.
Wish I could have seen this.
