I am done with classes!! done! I can't even believe it. To celebrate we went to our favorite restuarant last night and then saw the new pirates movie (which was entertaining but really all over the place). Em, you will be happy to know that people here dressed up like jack sparrow too, but none were as good as you. With three huge papers due in the last week, I actually have been doing work for the last couple weeks. I know it's hard to believe since I'm in such a beautiful place, but it's been pretty much life as usual, just like crunch time in Champaign. It was hard to try to juggle paper writing around everyone else's schedule since we all had papers due this week and only three computers to go around, two of which have German keyboard, which isn't that different but the z and y are switched and I couldn't use spell check...a dire necessity for me. So needless to say, there was a fair amount of late nights and coffee consumption, but I am happy that nothing but three finals stand in the way of a lot of traveling. Finals start June 1st and all three that I have to take are two hour essay exams and all the professors gave pretty big hints about the content, so I'm gonna keep the studying to a minimum and cram in lots of last minute cape town activities. Only three weeks left here and most of one of them will be spent in Lesotho! I think we're all trying to block out the fact that we'll have to be leaving soon. Even with no more class, I've still got some planning to do and things to figure out before the trips, so I know it's going to go by quickly. I'll write soon about the weeks adventures...we're doing something crazy tomorrow :)
