Monday I had my last literature class which covered Emily Dickinson since class was cancelled last week. Then it was off to the math building to stress about my last math homework. For the first time I was actually able to work with other people and realize that they were just as confused as I was. They actually made me feel a lot better about passing the final. Plus they seem to have had similar low scores and trouble with their homework. It was reassuring to know that barring any unforeseen troubles I should be able to pass the class which was my big stress because I need it for graduation. After that bit of stress, I took a short break before I went to the Chapel for the Scratch Choir practice, followed by the Chapel Christmas party. I loved the Christmas Party. Delicious food, fantastic company, hilarious comedy as well as some wonderful singing acts. It was a great night.
Tuesday morning I was focused on my Mass Media portfolio and getting the Christmas CD my parents mailed me to work and so I ended up choosing not to go to Mass Media because it was review for the exam and I am doing an essay instead and so the professor said I didn't need to. Finally I closed out the night with my British Culture class, this weeks theme was Media which ended up giving us some unexpected insights into what British traditions are. Plus there was pizza which is always good. After class I met up with some of my exchange friends who are leaving before Christmas for a farewell dessert party.
Wednesday was math class and then lunch with Hannah, Alyssa and Martin. Followed by some Gilmore Girls with Hannah. Then choir practice, and finally the Carol Service. I actually really enjoyed it. I think I underestimated how much fun I would have singing in a choir and performing at a Carol Service. I liked that they integrated readings into the Order of Service as well. It reminded me of lessons and carols at my home church.
Thursday was Social Movements class which complete opposite of Monday totally stressed me out for the exam for this class. I am really worried about the information that I need to retain and be able to relate authors to each other. I just don't know. I see lots and lots of flash cards in my future. More math class later in the day but the best part of the day was dinner with Becca and LeeAnn. LeeAnn was making me a proper British meal. We had Bangers and Mash with Sweet Corn and gravy and then we had triffle for dessert. After that we went to Jesus Jam for Prayer/Worship/Testimonial night. It was really great. I was honored that the Committee gave me a thank you card and gift for helping them with tech this semester.
Finally, Friday was my last day of PDEs which honestly made me really happy to be almost done with that class. Then I spent the rest of the day spending time with my American friends who are flying out Saturday morning.
