This week was the wonderfully horrible Mid-terms! In Italy, grades only come from the mid-term and the final, a few other small things but nothing compared to what I have in classes at home. I was so stressed out about them that last week, I spent hours in the library preparing before Eurochocolate. Once monday came around, I looked over all my notes again and realized I knew everything. I literally had the most laid-back mid-terms week ever.
Don't worry mom and dad, I didn't stop studying, I kept looking over everything but I've always been such a big procrastinator and this time I wasn't and the pay-off was huge! I'm not saying I aced everyone of my exams but I went into them a lot more comfortable than previous years. It was awesome and the best feeling was walking out of them, knowing I did my absolute best.
I just finished my italian final, and it wasn't easy but I'M DONE! Mid-terms are over and it's time to CELEBRATE! YAYYYY!!!
In two days, I'll be off for Fall Break to Paris for 4 days, Dublin for 2 days, London for 2 days, and Pisa for a day. I'm so excited for this big journey I'm about to go on and a bit nervous! I woke up this morning not freaking out about my italian mid-term but rather freaking out because I have to plan for Fall Break and I haven't done anything yet! I'm always packed and ready like a week in advance so I had to get moving.
Besides Mid-terms and Fall Break, I went to church last night and it was just awesome. Mark and Kate Shultz are just fantastic people and the church is growing. We had so many more people tonight. One lady came up and introduced herself and she was just the sweetest old lady. She was a teacher and we got to talking about that and apparantly she used to teach in Chicago and is from Wheaton. Small world!
But Mark and Kate have been so welcoming and they remind me of my young life leaders or people I look up to in Young Life. It's really nice to get that vibe from someone. They've also invited Jessica (my roommate) and I to come over and cook dinner for them haha. I think we're going to do that once we get back from Fall break, which should be so much fun!
Well I have to get back to planning for the week.
P.S. It's FAT TALK FREE WEEK so love the genes your in :]
