I am alive!

A student working hard on his final exam.I realize that it has been nearly two weeks since my last update. The main reason is that I am just kicking off finals week. Sadly, rugby is over. But on the plus side, I don’t have to dedicate much time to that anymore and I can concentrate on my studies. Finals shouldn’t be too difficult for me this semester. I am only taking twelve credits worth of actual class, but I am also testing out of website design. I still need to finish that website too. Here’s what my finals schedule looks like:

  • Tuesday: Sociology - 150 pt. comprehensive final (10:30am-12:30pm), German - presentation final (1:00pm-3:00pm)
  • Wednesday: Anthropology - final research paper (8:00am-10:00am)
  • Thursday: Server Management - hacker security final (8:00am-10:00am)

A fairly light week compared to some of my friends. The Sociology should be fine; I haven’t had a problem with Snowden’s tests yet. Evan and I are doing our German presentation on sauerkraut and dumplings. He is making a crock-pot of it and reading the recipe, and I will give a brief history of the food. It has to be done entirely in German, but doesn’t have to be very long.

I haven’t started the Anthropology paper yet, but I plan to get to it tonight. The assignment is to choose a culture from a list and write why I think it best represents an Indo-European culture. It might be a bit tricky to write a paper about that, but I should manage. I think the most enjoyable final will be for Server Management. We get to hack into a Windows computer from a remote site! It should be a lot of fun.

Aside from classes, I hope to have as much fun as possible with my friends up here before I have to leave them for three months. We’ll probably go to Norfolk and see Spiderman 3 together if it works out okay. I can’t wait for that. So, since I don’t have a very busy week, if you would like to do something with me before summer break hits, let me know!
