Spring Break!

I wish it was spring break already. I'm getting pretty excited. I'm glad we're going to fly there instead of drive, although I'm sure Katie and I could have made the drive fun. I've started making a packing list in my head, I really should write it down, but I never think to. Oh well, that's what Saturday is for. I'm super excited to get to see Laura, Mike, Melvin, and Baghira! I guess I'm more excited to see the people than the animals, but Melvin is really fun so I'm only a little less excited to see him. I wonder if he wants to go to the beach with us. I'm hoping I can get in touch with my good friend Lyssette before we leave so hopefully we can spend some time together. I sent her an email, but she hasn't responded yet and I'm not sure how else to contact her. I think I might try and see if my oldest friend Theresa is still in Tampa, because I'd like to see her too. Last I heard she still was. We've been friends since preschool so I think it would be really fun to catch up for a while. Laura said she was taking Friday off so we can party Thurday, Friday and Saturday nights! Woo! I think we'll go to Busch Gardens at least one day, and the beach as much as we can. And here I thought I didn't like the beach... silly me. It's one of the things I miss the most living in Texas. I'm going to have to get used to driving a manual again though, since we'll have Laura's car to get around in. I hope I don't get lost in Tampa! It's been such a long time since I've driven there. I can't wait till this week is over!!!!
In school news, I had an antropology test yesterday, which I think was easy, but of course I thought the first one was easy too, and I got a 68 on it. Yuck. I have a sociology test tomorrow, which should also be easy, just as long as I study tonight. I also had a meeting with Dr. Good yesterday about my German paper. I'm feeling pretty good about it now that she's given me some advice. I'm writing on the book and film versions of The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum and she said if I felt like I had enough information I could do the introduction to the film with her when we watch it in class. That would be extra credit for me, which would probably be a good thing to have since I did so miserably on the midterm. (Well, it was a 70... which I guess is only pretty bad, not miserable). I think I'm going to write the paper in German, since we have the option of writing 6 of our film response papers in german, or 3 film responses and our big paper in german, and it just seems like a better idea to do the big paper in german since I have more time to work on it that way (I hate having to get a decent german draft of my response papers in the 2 days we have to write it!) I might be sending you a draft of it, Cleyera, if you don't mind! But that's still a little ways off.
In non-school related business, I've been having some stomach problems for the past few days. I think it's some sort of heartburn thing, but the result is I've been burping for days. Nice big, loud ones, like a big gross guy. Isn't that pleasant? The condition seems to have improved as of yesterday, and I hope it stays that way. I think I was just eating too many rich foods or something... It was bad enough that I was carrying Tums around with me in my purse though.
I bought a new pillow for my bed yesterday, since mine were pretty flat. Stephen cooked me dinner last night (fish and asparagus) and as usual when we cook dinner at his place, we don't get to eat till like 10 o'clock, so I was over there pretty late. I was really tired, too, so I ended up falling asleep on the couch while he cooked. It was a pretty good dinner once it was finally done though. Morgan invited Stephen and I to go to the rodeo in Houston tonight, but I had to say "No thanks" because of the Soc. test tomorrow. It would have been fun, but the timing was just no good.
That's all for now, I've got to see if I can get my discussion board postings in before I head off to work.
