My last post was about Hawkeye Swing Fest, and I’m happy to report that it was AWESOME! There were about 400 dancers, and everyone had a really great time!
And now it’s the last week of school! I have one final on Tuesday… at 7:30AM. I was trying to remember the last time I woke up for school before seven, and it was high school. I am not entirely sure my brain will be able to function in English at that point, let alone French. But, after that I have a totally open schedule until Friday, when I have my Russian final.
It’s crazy to think that this year is almost over! It went by so fast! And while I’m very, very excited to go home and see my family, I think I’m going to miss this place more than I thought I was.
So last week I had my first two exams, one in Russian and one in French… so THAT got a little confusing! I’m feeling pretty confident about them though, so we’ll see what the grades say! This whole taking two different languages at the same time is producing some pretty hilarious results. I’ll start a sentence in Russian and end it in French. Apparently on the phone to one of my friends I just started speaking a different language entirely! It was the exam pressure, I know it! Now that they’re both done, I think my brain has a little time to sort itself out before the next round of tests!
What I didn’t expect at college was so much homework! I was counting on a strictly testing-friendly semester! Seems like that will not be the case! That’s alright though, because I actually have been doing my homework. *insert shocked gasps from the high school friends*
One of my favorite things about college has been this whole care package business! A package every couple of weeks, stocked with delicious treats and magazines galore? Yes, please! My favorite piece in the care package, however, would have to be this drawing from my little brother.
I started school and Mrs. Golden rocks. "Let's Party! Oons oons oons oons!"
Awesome.
So far college is going along swimmingly! The weather is getting colder, which I realize I’m not entirely prepared for, but that’s okay! What I’d want to know if I lived out-of-state and decided to go to Iowa would be this: IT RAINS HERE! So bring an umbrella.
