is it over yet?
Well, it's finally crunch time. Two take-home finals. Started one today, but my brain hurts so it's time for a dinner break and Eddie Izzard. My mind needs to relax. Shall I work more on my final tonight? Who can say. We'll see what Mr. Chianti says about it :-)

are you still out there???
So as finals are drawing near and I should be reading frantically, I sit here in 615 of Ballantine staring out the window at the not so gently falling snow. Oh and I just realized that I have my headphones in, but turned of Pandora about 5 minutes ago, oops.
Problem solved. Gotta love Christmas music on Pandora :-) Is it normal to snow up? So in case all two of you are wondering, I have almost made it through my first semester of grad school. Two days of class left, 2 take-home finals and one in-class exam. I feel that I should be hardcore stressing about now, but oddly I'm not. Hopefully that's a good thing. I'm mainly just looking forward to next semester, no more lit classes. Hooray! I have French Semantics, Morphology and Teaching Methodology. I'm looking forward to the classes, but I'm little anxious about teaching next semester. I will be going from 4 students in an 8am section to about 50 in 2 back-to-back sections starting at 9:05. Should be good times.
As for the holiday break, no concrete plans yet. I have to be in Bloomington at least through the 17th. After that I'll probably stop off in Nashville for a few days before going home and then after Christmas I need to make a trip up to Ktown. Soooo, Let me know what you're doing after New Year's if you're in Knoxville. I feel that a well-deserved trip to Sassy's might be in order.
Another exciting thing for next semester is that I will be playing in a band :-) Given that it's IU I will obviously not be in one of the actual bands, but rather the All-Campus Band. At least I'll be playing though. Rehearsals are only one night a week, so luckily it won't take too much time. I went to their concert this semester to check them out. Kind of reminded me of a high school group (is that mean?), but I'm excited to get to play.
That being said, I'm going to actually try to get some work done now. Hopefully I will update sooner than later.
