Boo. So I have been able to get through enormous amounts of this semester in denial of any sort of schoolwork. Sure, there was a period of time in February when I had to study for midterms, and lightyears ago in January, I was studying the French language pretty avidly for my practicum course. But ever since about March, I've been coasting on the apathy of the Parisian university system and the generosity of the teachers at Reid Hall. When my sister and friends visited, I pretended it was vacation. When I was staying in Belleville, I pretended it was vacation. When my parents visited...you can see the trend. Then, for two weeks in April, it actually WAS vacation! But now...with three weeks left to my time in la gaie Paree, I am smacked in the face with three finals, one final paper, and one final presentation. Paris, I thought we had a pact.
What's worse, all of my friends at home are DONE with their finals and starting in on SUMMER! My last final is not until May 26.
And one more thing to whine about...apparently a normal part of the Parisian annual weather cycle is that is gets much colder in May right before it heats up for summer in June. There is a word for it and everything (although I forget it and will try very hard never to learn it again). Bring back Morocco weather!
That is all. Apart from these minor annoyances, things continue to go well.
