After Mid-Terms

One week past Spring Break and I'm already feeling the pinch of the semester ending. Somehow that brief reprieve from schooling is my milestone for the spring semester that tells me when I need to get my ass in gear for the semester, but this year I ignored it and kept on coasting. *sigh*

Now I have a week and a half until Easter break, and a massive paper due next Wednesday. I know where my weekend is going - the library. Working paper title: The Moroccan Youth: Economic, Social, and Political Prospects. Eh, not that sexy but descriptive in the extreme.

Later this afternoon, after my two classes and Arabic study session, Matt and I are running to the nearest grocery store to get money orders (to the tune of $60) for our meeting with CampusFrance tonight so we can apply for our student visas. This is really happening and I couldn't be happier. We have another long meeting about studying abroad on Friday afternoon as well.

Tomorrow Matt has his first round of physical therapy on his knees. Apparently he has some type of degeneration of the ligaments around his kneecap that isn't curable. He just didn't notice it until college because he was always ridiculously in shape from Soccer throughout intermediate and high school. Now he sees his new need to return to peak physical condition as a sign that I should start working out. Not going to happen.

The rest of this week is pretty ho-hum, with the typical mix of work and school and emotional breakdowns that are my mainstay. Okay not really, but I will be in full on panic mode by this time next week about my paper. Til then, M. Erudite
