Today is the first day of the last week of classes! We had our last mental health class via DVD and it was a great feeling to be finally finished with those videos! I got a lot accomplished during class…other than taking notes from the lecture, I wrote my practice essays for my political science final this Wednesday! Scratch that off of the list of things to do today! After class my roommates and I grabbed a quick lunch and headed to the computer lab. We got computers right away which was great to get started on papers and readings right away! I proof-read my final Political Science paper and finished the Reference page and printed the twelve page paper! It’s all ready to be handed in next week! We also had our last music class today! It was long but it ended well! I came back to Langerry where I made muffins…but ran out of ingredients so I had to improvise. They turned out alright but I wasn’t too hungry by the time they were done. They will get eaten between the four of us though. I was so productive with working on homework today! I read my reading for my presentation for Friday, I finished my online course discussion questions (just one more paper to go!) and sent out emails to people. Brad Skyped me and I got all excited…except our connection was crummy so I didn’t get to see him or talk to him live, instead we messaged and he updated me about Cece and all of the new things that she is doing (crawling everywhere and starting to pull herself up!). I can’t believe that she is almost a year old! I was excited to hear and they will be making a trip North to Minnesota after I have been home, so we will be able to see them and see how grown up Cece has gotten since I saw her this summer! I quickly called home and talked to Mom and Dad before she brought him to the airport. Tonight has been very loud outside because it is fireworks day in PE! It’s a national holiday where they set off fireworks (but it’s nothing compared to New Prague at 4th of July…or Dad and Jeff’s Cedar Lake Fireworks Show!). Ashley, Alex, and I went up to the roof to watch the fireworks set off across the street on the beach. It was fun, but a little chilly on the roof, so I went in early! We’ve been told that people set them off all night, so hopefully it will end soon so I can get some sleep! Well, I have to do a few dishes and then it’s off to bed!
