Tomorrow I have a bio test, and Wednesday is a practical lab quiz for bio. I've been studying a lot and am trying some new techniques. I hope it helps. I think it is working so far.
I have an "up to 6 pages" paper due on next Tuesday. I've started it already, wrote about a page today. Not a full page but it is about 4/5 of a page. I have general ideas and a sort of outline (not really an outline but it has the concepts I want to hit on) written. The professor wants footnotes, which I haven't used before (or if I have, it was a long time ago). The paper is to be on a topic of my own interest based on the articles in the book. I am writing about language and how it affects people's perception of each other. It's a fascinating topic (I really should be a linguist, eh?).
The following Tuesday (30th) the first round of presentations for Spanish are due. They are 7-10 minutes long and are supposed to have an audio-visual component. I am presenting on conservation in Costa Rica. I haven't done much research yet, but I will. I am just focusing on the paper that is due before then.
I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving but I'm trying to keep it fairly low-key. I have at least 4 people who aren't family who want to hang out with me during the break, and I'm hoping I can see all of them. Trying to make plans and still respect family plans and kind of stressing about this when I should be worrying about school! haha.
Okay, time to write some emails...

so...
A lot of things have happened since the last time I posted but honestly I don't want to write about all of it, so I'll give Reader's Digest blurbs about things.
- I've been home 3x and got to see my dear bf all 3 times.
- I went on a fall break trip to Omaha, which was fun, and definitely an eye opening experience as I served supper at a soup kitchen for the first time.
- I've been a listening ear for a friend who is dealing with a major life change, incidents at school, and other stressors.
- I had a cold this/last week but it is clearing up, which makes me happy.
- I bought an exercise mat so I can do Pop Pilates in my dorm room without getting bruises because the floor is hard. (Pop Pilates here with Cassey: http://www.youtube.com/user/blogilates )
- This month I am making a point of posting as a status on Facebook what I am thankful for each day.
- I am enjoying my classes and made it through midterms with all A's except one A-.
- I got to test view "The Candy Shop" by Whitestone Motion Pictures, which is a "fable about child sex trafficking" and it is intended to raise awareness against it. ( http://www.whitestonemotionpictures.com/Films/the-candy-shop/ )
- I have been doing a bit of service lately for Wesley Service and it has been fun.
That's all the (semi) important stuff, so there you go. A post at last. :P
