Bitter Sweet November
I can't even imagine November happening. I should get over that quick since it starts on thursday. Its one of those months where you know you will hit the ground running end still in a full sprint. Things change a little when your abroad and you have one of those months on the horizon i figured out.
Normally if i had the schedule i have now, and i were back in madison. I would be for sure be busy, most likely a little stressed at times, but i would be able to block off sat and sunday afternoons to get shit done. Hell i might even through in a 'movie' night once or twice to stay at home and take it easy to be able to work a little and wake up early- bright eyed and bushy tailed.
Thats not going to happen here.
November. My last full month i will see come and go in Latin America (for awhile). How did that happen i dont' know...but i'm not letting this turn into -one of those posts-.
Thursday November 1st- We begin History presentation 25 minutes. Somewhere in the middle i have 1 Volcano presentation, 2 Volcano papers totalling 20 pages, 1 social problems paper, 1 social problems presentation, 1 history portfolio, 1 history portfolio presentation, a spanish presentation, a handfull of spanish quizes, and with my illusive english class that doesn't follow the syllabus, i have potentially a 10 page paper and a class presentation (he hasn't said anything yet...doesn't mean it wont' happen).
No worries, i have a month. O really? My typical 'sunday power hours with helen' and 'movie nights' to take it easy and get some stuff done....will be replaced in a 10 hour bus ride out of town this weekend for festivals. Next wednesday i leave for Colombia for 5 days. The following weekend will be hiking and waterfalls , finishing up with one weekend left to 'do everything'.
December 1st i'm off to the Galapagos coming back after 9 days to just barely take my finals before my brother and dad (YES MY DAD) get here to spend my last 10 days heading to peru and back.
I thought school abroad was supposed to be easy, and frankly up until..hmm- today...i still believed it.
I'm not complaining. well maybe i am a little...but MAN how this month will go down i have no idea.
I think i'm going to sleep through christmas.
