I figured I needed to post something more uplifting than the Dachau story.... not that anyone reads this, although it seems some people do occasionally.

Well I got an email from my Russian professor today. It pretty much made my day :)
"Ваша оценка за класс А. Если Вы до конца семестра будете так же хорошо заниматься, Вам не нужно будет сдавать заключительный экзамен."

wooohooo!

Ok so, I think historical fiction is not my area. Ok so maybe writing fiction in general is not the best idea for me... I always expect it to come across one way, and everyone interprets it differently. Maybe there's a disconnect between me and the rest of the world that I should be worried about. Well, regardless I still write non-fiction well, (reviews, research, etc.) For now I'll just stick with that. Still, I should probably follow Prof. Newell's advice and keep trying. But it's so much easier just to give up :) Ahhh I'm torn.

I'm still having trouble focusing, this always seems to happen to me at the end of the semester. Although, I have to say it's coming a lot later this semester, which shows some improvement :)I've got one page done for my book review, only two more to go! It's not due until thursday, so I suppose I'm still ok. And... that's all I have left to do. Then it's exams!!

I'm sooo looking forward to this summer. I'm just going to chill, relax, and lay back... get the idea? After a year and a half stuffing my brain full of Russian and stressing out about people's salvation, and a semester at BYU (with some really hard classes) I'm ready to just do... nothing. Of course I'll have a job. But I demand that it be no-stress. You hear that? I demand!
