I have a month left of school. 3 big papers, all of them in the double digits. Should I mention I have a speech as well? Why must these weeks be so cruel to me? I'm almost halfway done with college, and I just want these weeks to fly by smoothly.
Despite my busy workload, I had some fun. I got some free coupon from Nicola's (my favorite local pizza place) a while ago from Admissions for showing my room to prospective visitors. I used one of those and ordered in pizza, which is a nice change from eating at the Common's. After doing some homework, I went to an Easter egg hunt where I met up with a friend and her roommate and friend from her dorm. We colored Easter-themed pictures, participated in an egg hunt and an egg toss. I also won a chocolate peanut butter Easter bunny at the door, and one of the hall directors (Residence Life sponsored this event as part of a program called "Pilots After Dark") gave me a bowl of jellybeans, as she didn't want to toss them.
Thursday afternoon begins a 4 day break for Easter. While it would be nice to get off campus (more specifically, sunny Palm Springs, which is where my family will be), I am relieved that I will be staying on campus. This will give me plenty of time to get my homework done without the distraction of people and sun. Luckily, many people I know, including two of my neighbors, stay on campus during this short break, so I won't be too lonely. At least I'll come home in May and can give my family (and friends) my full attention without worrying about the demands of school.
I can't believe I'll be halfway done. Never thought I'd make it this far...

Don't Worry, I'm here!
Hello Faithful Readers!
Sorry I have not written for a while. I have been insanely busy, as the week after spring break awaits me with midterms, papers, and other projects I don't want to deal with, as I want the last six weeks to fly by so it can be summer and I can go to London.
I had a good spring break, but I could have used a few more days. I spent the weekend in Eugene with Antonia, which was fun. We went shopping and I spent most of my Forever 21 gift cards on much needed clothes. I spent a week at home, mostly hanging out with friends, old teachers, and my mom. I also caught up on sleep and enjoyed home-cooked meals and my favorite restaurants. Last Friday I got to talk to the seniors in Paula's psych class, and they were wonderful.
While this week has been stressful, at least I survived my Brit Lit midterm and turned in my art project. I still have two 10 page English papers and a 12 page psych paper awaiting me, but I know I will be done with them before I know it. In fact, I have already written 4 out of the 10 pages needed for my Lit Studies paper. I also have a fine arts midterm, oral critique, and presentation on the horizon. But summer will be here in six weeks!
Unfortunately, I did not get the workshop leader position. On the bright side, this means I'm going to be an Orientation Assistant! I'm excited to help out with Orientation, especially since I get to move in the week before school starts for training.
Tomorrow is NUCL, or Northwest Undergraduate Conference on Literature. Sadly, my paper was not chosen for presentation, but I am a chair for a panel for papers having to do with "deconstructing the female narrative". All the papers are about the role of women in novels such as Jane Eyre, Villette, among others. I didn't go last year, so I'm excited.
That's all for now, folks!
