study break!

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...
