j'ai fini!

at 4.45p, I turned in my french exam, left van hise, and took a big breathe...finished! there were several times during the semester that I was not sure if I should be here or if I would make it. but here I am, done, and sitting about with my roommate tim after a lovely dinner. really must get on with the laundry and packing, as I'm leaving for chicago tomorrow morning. while I have much to do over break (research for a prof, a couple of fellowship applications, reading for a possible dissertation topic), I'm exicted to actually spend time with mct for a good three weeks, knit, run, yoga, see friends, and breathe. will be home for almost five days, which is bound to be stressful in its own special way. nevertheless, lots of fun with my sisters and the babies...:) I wouldn't trade that for anything.

on with the prepping for my month away from mad and spending time with tim on our last night of living together. :(
