Wow, its been awhile since I blogged last. I have been extremely busy this past week with homework. There are only three and a half weeks left in the semester, so naturally, I have papers to write. Ahh, the joys of being a poli sci student. I had two essay plans due last week and I have a twelve page paper due next Monday. I have stayed in the house the entire weekend, with the intentions of writing this paper. Of course, I didn't get everything finished. But I have a good start on the paper. Hopefully, I can knock out more during the week and then only have a little to write next weekend.
I can't believe how quickly this month has gone. This week is a full week of classes and teaching. It's going to be weird knowing that on Thursday I will be working. Saturday, I have the Thanksgiving celebration with church. I have been showing the kids Charlie Brown Thanksgiving at school this past week. I am having parties with the sixth graders at school - we are going to have snacks and say what we are thankful for. I have to have some type of little celebration! Thursday night, I am going to watch Charlie Brown with the two girls who I give private lessons to. We are going to eat popcorn :)
Sorry for my lack of writing this past week. I have been working and working at night and collapse. I think I went to bed everynight this week at 2 am, only to wake up at 8 am and go until 9 at night. I keep telling myself that I need to make it through to December 3rd, which is when I leave for Italy But I am hoping that I don't collapse from exhaustion by then. I want to enjoy my birthday in Italy, not sleep the entire time!
One thing I did learn this week was that it is illegal for Europeans to work past the age of 65. This law is mandated by the European Union. I know lots of people in the states who would love to live in Europe because of this, my parents included!
I am hanging in there. I can't believe that I will be home next month. I'm really excited to come home and have a two week break. Although according to my mother, we have lots of things to do!
More later, I hope!
Quote of the Day: "Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
Spanish word of the day: I have learned so many over the past week. Monaguillo - altar boy. Duro de mollera - hard-headed. (How appropriate for me!)
Prayer Request - I'm a little stressed out to say the least, with everything that is coming up. I have a paper due ono the 29th, then finals starting on December 15th!
