School Update

The semester is rapidly coming to a close, meaning that I my life is now full of tests and working on presentations. Hooray! This week I had three tests. Next week I have two presentations and and two tests, with one presentation and one test the week after that. In more exciting news, that is all I have to do left in college. As the semester winds down, more and more people start to leave. Meaning that there are more and more going away parties getting in the way of me doing my homework and studying. Oh well, that is how life goes. Of the tests last week, only one of them wasn't easy. I am not entirely sure how next week's will go, but I am assuming they won't be so bad.

I recently finalized travel plans for the week after I am done with school and when I come home. I will be traveling through the Czech Republic with my fellow American and also another exchange student from the Czech Republic, which should make life pretty easy. We will also be going to Vienna. The time we will be going is fairly short, but it is better than nothing. I am not quite sure what all we are going to do in the Czech Republic outside of visit Prague. Something nature-y probably, so that should be fun.

For those of you interested, I will be flying back on the 31st of July. I am not entirely sure what the plan is after that, but it will involve driving up north to work as soon as possible, I assume, meaning that I will be once again cloistered away from the rest of the world. At least it will be easier to come visit when I am only five hours away instead of about twenty. I hope to update again before I leave, but I get distracted and forget about it. Until next time.

  3. I assume that Jet-lag on the way back will be much worse than jet-lag on the way here, but I am planning on implementing the same strategy, which didn't go over so terribly the first time. I think the plan is to go to Berlin as late Friday evening/early Saturday morning as possible and just hang out at a café all night drinking coffee until we need to get on the plane somewhere around 6:30. If I force myself to go to sleep at a normal time, that should help a lot.
