Ok I know I didn't get around to my usual weekly post, and seeing as how my last two posts were about a trip that happened almost three weeks ago now, I just wanted to say I'm alive! Barely. For some reason, all my teachers recently thought that maybe there should be some studying involved in study abroad, and I've been hitting the library all day since Saturday. I had two exams today, and I admit I haven't exactly been diligently doing the reading for either of those classes all semester...which meant last minute cramming and waking up at 5 a.m. this morning. In addition, I had a paper due for my Hans Christian Andersen class for which I was supposed to find at least two outside sources to support my topic, but had absolutely NO LUCK at all in doing so. After several emails back and forth with my teacher explaining my dilemma, she finally told me that she liked my topic anyways and to forget all about outside research. Win for me. Tuesday done. Moving on to a political campaign video for the most disorganized and undirected class I've ever taken, Political Rhetoric. Try organizing an entire political campaign for a political party you've never heard of until two months ago in a political system you haven't grown up understanding. It's not easy. Next is an 8 page research paper on how Harry Potter fufills the hero myth, originally due Thursday (bad news since I haven't started) but I got an extension to Friday. Another win for me. Other than that, all I have to worry about is avoiding my new obsession with deep-fried waffles, topped with warm nutella and vanilla soft serve. I'm not kidding, one bite will change your life.
Back to the books. Leaving for Russia this Sunday! Just have to get through the week...
PS- It's finally starting to get in the 40s (8/9 celsius) here and it's amazing! I have a whole new outlook on what it means to be cold after surviving a Danish winter, so having it be 45 and overcast is absolutely amazing. But since my mom was nagging me continually to put up a picture of myself in my rabbit fur hat, here's evidence of a colder time:
My friend Holly and me before seeing a movie in February. Side note: Holly and I are going to Greece together at the end of May. I. AM. SO. EXCITED.
