half over

with two finals down i feel a little better. i can definitely tell that my stress level has gone down. whoo. my literature final was this morning, and i don't think it went too bad. actually not bad at all. plus we got our grades for our oral presentation and i got an A. sweet.

then i just got out of my art history final which was insane. i was really nervous about it. and i think i did alright. we had to do 10 short ids...which is seeing a picture of a painting/sculpture/etc and then saying who did it, the title of it, the date, what its made out of, and where it is. then 2 long ids, which is the same thing, but then we have to give at least four characteristics of the painting...so more in depth stuff. a couple of comparison and contrasts of paintings, multiple choice, and vocab. and its over now! lol. i will say that i feel pretty smart about art now. and i loved the teacher.

all that's left is my culture class final today at 3:30 and the my italian one tomorrow. the culture one will be a joke. we have to write 20 lines on three different topics...that she already told us about. so that'll be fine.

tomorrow night we have a farewell dinner with everyone from our program, the CAPA staff, and our teachers. i'm looking forward to it. its a resturant i haven't been to yet, and it'll be a nice way to say goodbye to everyone. and extremely weird. although i don't feel like i've made a million lifelong friends, i do feel like i got to know people pretty well, and that we'll at least be able to carry on a conversation if i see them later in life. haha. and kelly and i are pretty close. she invited me to come to her lake cabin in May, which is really sweet.

as for the rest of the weekend, friday is devoted to packing and cleaning. i'm about half packed right now. and we've got to get our apartment back to the state it was in when we showed up. however, i am going to also make one last stop at the San Lorenzo market on friday. so it won't be all work that day. and saturday we head to airport at 8:30.

anywho...its cram time. maybe i'll post one more before i head out on saturday. later.
