The last final is Over!!!
Things I have learned this quarter:

• Riding my bike without my hands is easier when they're at my sides and not hovering over the handlebars.
  
• "Privilege" is spelled like that, with an e and not an a.
  
• If I have a roommate who works in the writing center at the college, I should ask her who the good writing teachers are before registering for classes.
  
• It's easier to make PDF files with AppleWorks than Illustrator.
  
• I am gold to a GUI designer.
  
• Coffee is helpful for writing, but not for sign language.
  
• I want to live closer to my family.
  
• History is fascinating, especially the history of people who speak Spanish.
  
• I believe I can do anything if I work hard enough for it. A lot of people don't.
  
• I get crushes almost automatically on boys with curly blond hair.
  
• How to divide negative numbers, simplify algebraic equations, and phrase real life "word" problems as equations.
  
• I really like algebra.
  
• The hardest part of writing is writing about something interesting. The second hardest part is writing about it well. The easiest and least interesting part is writing what your instructor wants to see.
  

I may go to the last poetry class this afternoon. People are presenting their final projects, and the last two presentations have been fascinating. However, Ryland and Josh are visiting, and I'd love to just hang out at home. Plus, we're having a potluck tonight (with ten people, total!) and I want to make a lasagna. Either way, it'll be fun.

I'm so glad finals are over. ASL had two finals, a written and an expressive, and after the expressive was over last night I just felt so light! That was definitely the hardest class of the quarter. I'm looking forward to ASL next quarter. We'll be getting into signed drama and poetry.

Ryland and I are probably taking off sometime this weekend and probably getting back before next weekend. We're really not sure at all. Or at least I'm not. Hrm.

I got a book of short stories by Donald Barthelme out from the library. Weird, weird writer. I highly recommend his short story "The School". Hi-larious.

Let the mighty Spring Break begin!
