Mid-Term and Spring Break

So, here I sit waiting for the last of the mid-terms to begin. I will be very happy when this one is ever. As fun as I find Accounting and Budgeting, spring break starts when it is done. Well, more or less. I still have to do a problem set for econometrics on Friday morning, since it is due on Friday afternoon. But such is life. At least all the mid-terms will be done.

I have gotten one of them back and did surprisingly well. Considering that in the two classes before the test I came stumbling out of the classroom clutching my head in an attempt to keep my brain from oozing out of my ears repeating “I’m doomed” to myself over and over. In the class before the test, Molly has a class in the same room after and we had a laugh with a classmate who took the class last year and simply said “econometrics, huh?” with a knowing smile.  Well, the end of the story is that the test came back the other day, via my mailbox. I knew it was there, so opened the door with a little trepidation, and caught a glimpse of the score and thought “that cannot be right.” So I started going through it question by question: 10/10, 5/5. 15/15, 10/10 etcetera until I got to the end, and sure enough, I had aced the test. God only knows how that happened. But I will take it. It is a nice confidence boost, though, after my less than stellar performance in my last international law class last semester.

So what now? Molly and I are going to New Jersey on Saturday for a wedding, which should be nice. I am feeling a great need to get out of the greater Boston area. Then it is time to come back and rip out the thesis. It has reached the required length, so that is good. I need to fill the gaping analytical/ logical holes within it, and then start begging my advisor to accept it and let me start enjoying school again. And deal with that whole needing a job thing.

So that is about it. It is hard to believe that I am half done with my last semester here. It is a little sad, though I am excited that graduation is on the horizon.

At least I have next week off.
