Wow, it's been awhile, sorry 'bout that. Life happens, what can I say. Last term was the most challenging, stressful, and loaded of any I've had at Lawrence - ever. Yeah, it was hard, time-consuming, and fraught with frustration, but now IT'S OVER! And today was met with the start of my second to last term at LU. So, here's a rundown of the last month:
*V-day was fine, Wayland and I got a hotel room at the Copper Leaf. I got my friends presents too, they like me!
*The last three weeks of the last term killed me. I had two 12-15 page papers due and psychopharmacology, which is its own beast. I'm so glad it's over, and my grades keep getting better. It's a relief.
*Spring break! Wayland and I went to the big apple, New York City. We stayed with his mom, visited Dea in Princeton, visited mom's special friend in Philly, and then visited Wayland's teacher and family in Vermont. I loved it all, despite my grumbling and the loooooong hours spend on the train. But man, I love big cities, I like having everything in walking distance. Faves: Serendipity 3, Cafeteria, Westside Market, Balducci's, Mxyplyxyk, Deborah Marquit, Cafe Loup, Wayland's great aunt Anita, the subway, and Avenue Q.

This term will most likely be kinder to me. I plan on going home, spending time with the folks and Tariq, and relaxing myself more often. I can't wait for this! Glad it's happening now. A toast, to the end of my college career.
