The Week in Review

Okay, I'm leaving for room draw in 15 minutes, so this will have to be quick.
-I have a terrible room draw number, but I'll be a senior, so it can't be that bad, can it? All the same, room draw was REALLY INCREDIBLY STRESSFUL when I was choosing a Ziskind room; I figure that it can only get worse. On the plus side (?), I don't actually know any of the rising seniors in the house (except for grumpy Monday morning girl, who appears not to be in the directory under the name I know her by. I think she'll be a senior. Maybe she's a senior already. That would be nice.)
-I have a summer internship, and the only major hurdle remaining as far as that is concerned is PRAXIS paperwork.
-I finished Viaje al fin del milenio. Egads, 400 large pages of really dense Spanish. And the prof said that this one had an easier plot than the other! I personally found the jumping around in time really confusing; I'd much rather follow multiple characters and multiple plotlines than multiple timelines - at least as far as easy-to-understand goes; multiple timelines can be cool.
-I also plowed through about 100 pages of the Portuguese textbook. Well, the relevant bits of it; I didn't read the exercises.
-Finished The Two Towers, putting myself ahead of schedule for Inklings as well.
-I rather feel like I spend most of break doing homework.
-I do not have a take-home final over Conbust, which is a good thing (I do have a take-home final over Fencing Nationals, but I'm likelier to have more free time that weekend, and she gave us two more days, too). I'm sad that this was occasioned by Alberton's death, but very glad for the reprieve. Albertson would've approved of ConBust, I'm sure.
-I saw Emily's father play Sweeny Todd. He was terrifying. See if I ever sleep over at her house again!
-Time with family was good. Time with small cousins was even good, despite the fact that they were suffering from nasty colds. They do not seem to have passed them to me, though, for which I am Very Glad.
-This computer has had grumpy internet all evening. Also, the scroll-dot on the mouse only goes up. I think I use it rather more for down.
Okay, time to have my housing fate determined.
