So Kyle and I got up early this morning and met Christi and Lee to watch the Mini-marathon in Louisville. Lindsey and Chris were running/walking it. Christi was going to run it, but she got hurt during training. Lindsey did too, but she decided to walk/run it. She ended up running the whole thing and did very well. We cheered her on. Chris ran all but about one mile without really any training. We cheered him on too but he didn’t hear because we did it after he had passed because we apparently missed him when he went by.

Christi took the MCAT last weekend and had to deal with little old ladies being the proctors and getting everything started late. She also had like 4 tests and a presentation this week or something. So I am very proud of her for getting through it all. And I’m sure she will do wonderfully.

Last of all, I am hanging up everything that reminds me that I will be graduating soon by my window, so I know I will be through it soon. I actually pulled an all-nighter two weeks ago because I’ve had so much to do lately. I have my cap and gown, some honors cords, and a medal hung up. I will be sending out graduation invitations soon. They just came in the mail. I’m still deciding on what I will be doing this summer, but the summer is almost here. Woohoo!!!

But I’ll try to keep this short. I’ve had way too much to do lately, and now I actually finished revising my two papers for which I have second drafts due tomorrow, so I feel a little ahead of myself. I was going to have a test tomorrow as well, but he postponed it because so many people in the class had political science orals this week, including me. I should be totally freaking out, but I’ll leave that for Friday afternoon right before I do it. I don’t feel confident at all in it because I’ve only really had 2 classes that seem to pertain to the questions they gave me. One was freshman year and I threw away my notes and the other I had a Korean teacher was is no longer here and half the people dropped out because the class was so bad. He was nice and gave us grades and followed his syllabus. It was just a little hard to follow him. So I know nothing concerning political science, I’ve decided, which probably isn’t good considering that’s what I’m supposed to do when I get to Oxford. Oh well. If I think about that, the frustrations will just be way too much.

Speaking of frustrations, my history teacher still sucks but she got in a car wreck and broke both her wrists so I feel bad complaining. She does seem to be trying a little harder. She is supposedly going to give us a mid-term still after I talked her into it by sending her an e-mail and saying that our final should not be worth 50% of our grade, especially when we’ve had no grades to judge ourselves by. She seems to be trying to give us a few assignments, so now I don’t know if I should go to the department chair. I wrote one e-mail and showed it to my advisor and he said I needed to make it a little less pointed. I was a tad angry. So I didn’t send that one, but sent a much shorter one focusing on the fact that she had taken away our mid-term. I guess if I still haven’t gotten the mid-term by next Monday, I’ll go to the chair.

I’m almost done with my thesis, almost done with my papers, and almost done with my comps. Can’t wait!
