...oooppsss

so ive kinda neglected this for a few days huh...... sorry about that

 

lets see 3 days ago... i spent the day writing my 7 page log book of food from the countries in spanish and 2 one page spanish papers one about one of my trips and the other about visitiing different cafes... just a lot of spanish... i dont remember what time i was done but it was late.. like 1030 or 11... i think im confused on days... or something i dont know because i feel like we gained an hour this night but thats not right.. i just know that i woke up in the middle of the night and went to see a meteor shower the night our clocks turned but it might be the night before this.. that would maybe make since.. i dont remember wow... well i was super tired when we woke up to go look at it.. and all three of us went it was cold i wasnt in warm cloths and could barely hold my eyes open.. i think i was outside for 2 minutes... i didnt see anything decided it wasnt exciting enough i was too cold and too tired so i went back to sleep without seeing anything... anyways back to a time i can keep track of..

 

then yesterday i spent the day writing the last 6 pages of my 15 (turned out to be 16) page daily journal for spanish and then going through and editing it all... even more spanish... sean was driving home from texas yesterday and was supposed to email me when got home but didnt so at night while trying to take a break from my paper i went to send him an email to see where he was but when i went to start writing it i completely froze... like i couldnt think.. i couldnt come up with words.. i was struggling to write an email in english heck i couldnt even come up with spanish.. it was the most bizarre feeling ever.. i was up until 1:30 last night working on that journal and doing a little bit of preparing for todays oral exam.. last night i dreamt in spanish a little bit too which was a first and really weird.. and it wasnt like i really dreamt in spanish but more about spanish.. like i was thinking and going through my paper and my exam in my sleep crazyness!  the good news was even though i didnt go to sleep till 130 it was actually 1230 because we gained another hour yesterday

 

we are now officially only 2 hours ahead of ohio how exciting is that?!?! and it doesnt even matter the difference with texas anymore because sean is offically home which shows how the summer really is almost over!  but i am sure that this is the latest time difference!

 

so this morning i had to me with Shaara to practice for our oral exam for spanish at 730.. super early.. well not really only 15 minutes earlier then i usually leave my room but setting my alarm for 650 instead of 7 really seemed like a big difference especially when going to bed so late and having a pretty much equally long day the day before.. we really didnt practice because we were eating breakfast and finishing up what we were going to say so we get to class at 8 and had no time to really test anything out because we were the 2nd to go because her last name starts with an A... we had to talk with each other for 5 minutes.. we made it... he said good job in the end and cut us off.. so i guess thats good.. so heres how im looking at it so far the class breakdown is 15% participation 15% homework (i do both) so thats 30% so far food journal was 10% and the two one pagers were 5% each so thats a possible other 20 that i think i should get but will go with 15% for an estimation.. so thats 45% so far... oral exam was another 20% so im going to say another 15% at least so thats 60%  and then the daily journal is yet another 20% so again id guess at least another 15% so thats 75% (this is a c which is passing! woohoo) then our written exam is the last 20% of our grade sooo i think i have a chance at  a good grade overall for spanish but im really just looking to at least pass because it transfers as pass/fail...

 

after my oral exam i was just completely relieved.. all night yesterday while i was working on the journal everyone kept telling me how tired i looked and i was.. at one point i had been camped out in the hall so that i could get word reference to open and i had my pillow my box of cheese its a juice box a coke my comp kristis comp for when mine died my notebook and my trusty little spanish verbs book.. it was quite the sight im sure..

 

so after the exam i was stoked.. i ran into lacey right afterwards actually and pretty much jumped on her i was so excited to be done!! she was happy for me too haha so then i had some time to work on emails before global studies... oh other good news today is C22 which probably means nothing to you.. that means today is class day 22 which reallllyyyy means LAST DAY OF CLASSES!!!!!!! YAY!!!!  so last global studies lecture then last global music lecture! then for lunch the food just looked awful.. i mean awful... well kristi and i have decided that we will treat ourselves to one lunch and one dinner at the pool deck since we havent spent any money there at all this trip... so we cashed in our lunch for today and it was a very good decision. we had pizzas!!! sooooo much better than whatever they were serving.. i had a flat bread with tomatoes, green peppers and pepperoni.  =) and PEPSI! big deal =) it was SO GOOODDDDDD =) and then i bought a large bag of popcorn for my snacking needs for today because between my last two days of spanish work ive eaten over half my family size box of cheese its ha oops.. ive learned i have this nasty habit of whenever i have a big project like writing a paper or lots of studying i have to snack... which turned out to be bad during the spanish days oh well.. after lunch i was goign to start working on studying for the global studies final exam.. but i was really sleepy... so after i started doing some of it i decided i had earned a nap so i was going to sleep for only 45 minutes.. well that 45 minutes easily turned into 2 hours when i turned off the alarm.. oops.. then i had to make myself get up which i really didnt want to do to try and work on my global studies.. so dr. bowler put out a "study guide" the worst ive ever seen.. its basically a list of oh.. you know at least 200 terms that we've learned this summer... and its up to us to know it all for the 50 questions we will be asked on the exam tomorrow.. so its been a day of trying to fill in definitions.. yipee.. i still have a lot to do... good news is there is nothing but the exam tomorrow but they set it for 230 which is a bit unfortunate not a whole lot of the day open to study but a good deal..

 

so today is officially 2 months of life on the ship! so cynthia and steph celebrated their 'anniversary" together tonight =) they bought a cake!! and had it say "happy anniversary to us" and they invited me and kristi to join them! we made them a card and gave them a kitkat as a gift lol aren't we all so cute ha

 

sooo yeah i think thats about everything.. everything i can think of at least and now i really have to go do at least an hour of serious studying before i go to sleep..

 

im in the final week of the voyage the big countdown is on... 5 more days.. today was my last sunday! =(

 

its really sad but im getting really excited to get home im ready right now.. im sure in a matter of days that might change and ill be really really sad to leave and not want to ha im pretty sure thats just the way it goes...
