"Dead week"

Everyone is getting serious about how little time we have left until the program is over-- less than two weeks! It's our "dead week," but it doesn't feel as much like one here (aside from the huge amount of work due next week) because I'm not on campus with a ton of other frantic students and they're not changing the schedule at all (we have two plays this week!). And they're making us have class during finals week. weird. I have the largest number of papers due at the same time that I have ever had in my life. And I have rarely been in a more anti-paper writing mood. :P Oh well. Here is how the week is going.

Sunday
The big event of this day was meeting Bethany and Evelina to go to Victoria Park for a picnic. It was a very nice day and really fun to be outside with friends. We all sat on a blanket (thoughtfully provided by Evelina) and ate and talked and slept and read in the sun. Our conversations ranged from harmless gossip to feminist analysis to philosophical musings. I had a really nice time.

Pretty clouds in front of the sun.

Beth and me--she was not cooperating, so she gets a picture with a silly face. :P

Monday
This day was unfortunately rainy. I had classes and the meeting as usual. In between, I kept myself busy by working on projects (such as letters and paper brainstorming), talking to Maggie about a refund form, etc. Then I went home with Anne. It was a typical Monday--rainy weather and all!

Tuesday
This day mostly consisted of class, working more on projects, and procrastinating. :P But! I went to an ATM and paid AHA back for the loans they gave me (so I wouldn't starve while I waited for my cards to get here). I don't owe them anymore! yay! :) Oh, and when I was at the store today, I ran into Ros, which was funny. She gave me a ride home. :)
