Is it that time again?

I can't believe it's already time for finals again. Okay, granted my finals are oddly two weeks before the end of classes for the summer semester. But they're next week! Yikes! Time is really going quickly! The nice thing about having finals before the end of the semester, though, is that I'm not quite hating life yet. I'm close, but not that struggling-to-wake-up-and-not-kill-yourself close. Not yet, anyway. We'll see what happens when I have done my finals and still have to actually do coursework for the last two weeks. This could be a good thing, or a very, very bad thing. Especially because I'll be in France for the last two weeks of the semester. I can't say I'll have a lot of time for homework between intensive French lessons and nice weather on the Mediterranean. After all, my host-mother did say "Il fait très chaud." And who said the survival French you learned in fourth grade Canadian French class would be useless? Ha. Il fait du soleil, et il fait chaud. Well.... not here. But apparently in France, en l'été. I'm really going to have to cut out the French, aren't I?

I'm rambling again. Point is -- I'm excited to be done with my finals so I can actually enjoy a rockin' two weeks of summer. And then it's back to the grind, when I finally suck it up and complete that stupid math requirement for my BA. I don't do math, thanks. Luckily, I enrolled in dumb math. You know, the kind for arts students. And I took advanced math in high school. This means I've actually learned everything I will "learn" next semester, albeit the fact I haven't used it in the last, oh, six years. I guess I'll just look at it as a refresher I can forget about right away. Decent. I hope I can say the same for those chemistry and biology requirements I need for my degree, as well. I don't think I'll be able to say the same for my intro to computer programming... Yuck.

Anyway, I hope that wherever you are, it's sunnier than it is here. Okay, it's sunny here. But cold. Yesterday was the first (and only) nice day we've had all "summer." So, hopefully you've got a sunburn and don't need that fake tanning lotion that I do. Well, for another week and a half, at least.

And you know what? It seems like I've dropped off on my "How to FAIL as a Professor" series. I've only got one entry so far this semester. I guess that's actually a good thing. It doesn't mean I hate life as much. Maybe this will continue until I graduate in March? Or am I being a bit too optimistic?
