This One's for Drew...

I wish to preface this post with the news that I had typed out this nice long post for you all and it got deleted by my computer. Oh the frustration.

Anyway, I apologize for the lack of postage but I had my reasons:

1. I was in the internet-deprived Bahamas and boy was it nice. The water was so blue and the temperature is so not-below-freezing. Plus, it was nice to see the Longs and the Umezakis get along (no pun intended). It was a little weird being there for the holidays since you have no concept of the outside world while on the teensy-tiny island of Man O' War Cay. When my dad tried to purchase the most recent newspaper, he got laughed at for asking for the same day's edition (he ended up with the one from two days earlier). As expected, New Year's was a little weird.

2. Back at School. Granted it's Winter Study and we don't have "real" classes, but now is the time to do all those things that I neglected to do fall semester. Which is a crapload.

3. Cleaning my room. Trust me, it's a time-consuming chore. And if you saw it you would believe me. My room is at the stage of UTTER CHAOS since everything has been emptied from my desk and onto the floor. I'm feeling a tad gross.

So, as promised, I will now share with you my performance on my finals...[suspense]
Paper #1 (10 pager): A
Paper #2 (38 pager): A
Paper #3 (15 pager): B+
Final Exam (total study time: 3 hours): A-

Boo-ya for no sleep and sympathetic profs. Still that was the worst 48 hours of work EVER. As expected I got sick the day I got home -- you know, the post-cram, no-sleep flu...(I really hope none of my profs, or anyone who is invested in my education ever ever sees how awful I am...I'm going to be a teacher next year for cryin' out loud).

ANYWAY, life is good. Although I do wish I could return to the Bahamas. Like, now.
