Finals Are Over!

~ Highlight of the Day: Finding the secret stash of notes hidden at the JC :) ~

 

I have less than a week left. . . And I used to be sort of Ok with it because classes were totally wearing me out, but now finals are over, and life is all happy and perfect again. Well, I am looking forward to homemade food and my family and my ukulele. . . and facebook a little bit. So I am still excited to go home.

Anyway, this is what I did during finals week:

 

 I hiked to the top of a big ol' church tower.

 

 (in the rain)

 

 We knocked on a sketchy green door and got to look at some awesome tombs.

 

 There were a fair amount of sweet clouds (due to the rain :)

 

 I visited the Russian Orthodox Church of Mary Magdalene again.

(also known as the 'golden onion church')

 

 look! a sweet garden! :)

 

 Oh yeah. I did do some studying. This picture was taken two pages into (and only and hour and a half away from the deadline of) a four page paper on the Sennacherib/Hezekiah accounts. That pita probably saved my life.

 

Today we went out to the Arab Costco, and I got a chocolate bar that tastes like smores.

 

And then Annie Reed and I discovered secret stashes of notes hidden in the JC, and added our own to them. Best thing ever! I was going to be really disappointed if I didn't find them. But I did, so now I'm good :)

 

And after that I sang in the Christmas Choir Concert.

 

And after that I gave a speech at the t-shirt unveiling.
(every semester designs and prints their own t-shirt. This semester they chose my design, and they asked me to give a speech. . . I said,

"I drew it in Stratford's class"

and then sat down to wild applause and one disapproving look :)
