Daffodils, snowdrops and violets
It's definitely, definitely spring. Yesterday was about 65 F and sunny, and today's not much cooler, although it is cloudy. Flowers and trees are budding all over the place. It's wonderful. Makes biking to school a lot more fun. *grin*
In a little less than an hour I'm presenting my final project for International Political Poetry class. I volunteered to do it a week early, and although it has been a bit tough getting it all together in time, I'm really glad I won't have one more project to do next week with the rest of my finals. I will still come to class, though, to watch other people's presentations. I've heard some pretty neat ideas... One girl is going to do a project about the Irish potato famine and make potatos for the class, and another is going to give everyone bookmarks with poems on them.
Math class is feeling pretty easy. There's a test on graphing tomorrow, an optional review session which I think I won't go to on Monday, and the cumulative final next Wednesday. I'll definitely do some review, but I'm really feeling very confident. It's a nice feeling.
Especially since ASL is a bit worrying. I've got a written final on Monday and an expressive final on Wednesday, and both are going to be pretty intense. That's what I'm going to be spending my weekend on, for sure. I did notice yesterday that I can fingerspell a lot better than I used to, which is nice. I will be glad not to have this teacher anymore. Native speakers are so much better in an imersion program...
And after my writing final Thursday morning, Ryland and I are going on a road trip! Woohoo! I can't wait. I'm really ready for this quarter to be over, and driving around southern Oregon sounds like exactly the ticket. I intend to go to the beach at least once.
I've got my class schedule for next quarter: sign language, Deaf culture, and math. Depending on my work schedule, I may or may not take a poetry class with a really cool teacher, too. I'll also be working on Quo Vadis a lot, as the volunteer coordinator and general brainstormer. I'm looking forward to that a lot. Quo Vadis is going to be so exciting this year.
Meh, must go. Hopefully I'll be able to think again after finals week... Four more essays and four more tests.
