Getting there!

It's been a stressful/busy week, and I have another four days straight of that. I am, however, able to see the light at the end.

Yesterday was a real set back. I woke up, checked my email, noticed I had somethin, g from Juan, and realized it was his paper. I read it for him in an attempt to help edit, well not really edit, because there's no way I am qualified to edit a paper in Spanish, but offer suggestions pertaining to content. Through my reading, I realized, or thought I realized, that something I was writing about was completely inaccurate. To make a long, confusing story short, I wound up changing my presentation completely around, only to have Juan point out to me that I was right in the first place for a very obvious reason. I think if I hadn't been feeling so panicked all week I would not have made such a stupid error. Anyway, it's over now, I'm done with all presentations for the year, done with my 101 class except for their final exams and entering grades, and I'm on page 10 of my final paper for Tuninetti. I have more ground to cover on my paper for Tania, but at least for that one, I can write in English and I already know what I want to say.

I'm having an appletini at the moment. I love these things.

John and I went to the Rec together tonight, which was nice. I like having someone to go with sometimes. We did 20 minutes on bikes and another 20 on elliptical, plus about five minutes of abs. Nothing extreme, but sufficient.

There's nothing else going on- I was on campus for over nine hours today including classes I had to attend, office hours, and the exams I had to give. I've also worked on editing a paper for a classmate today; being a native English speaker sometimes has its uses, and spent the evening working on my paper for Tuninetti. I cannot wait to put this semester behind me. :)

Buenas noches. Salud.
