Two and a Half Weeks left

There are only two and a half weeks left in the semester - that's it. Well, only two and a half weeks of classes left.

I have finished most of my exams for November (except a take home Anthro exam due next Tuesday), so now I just have papers to write. Yay! -Not really.

This weekend is going to be quite busy - lots of homework to finish up. Other than that, I'll be going to an information session on Genetics Counseling. I am considering a career in it, so I'm quite excited. Then on Sunday, my Anthropology professor is taking some scholars to the High Museum to see Leonardo da Vinci exhibit and get some lunch.

I will definitely blog soon about the information session and the High Museum soon!

Peace and love,
Lizzy

What happened to the fall?

So, I've realized that the fall season is almost over and it is quite daunting. Not too many weeks left in the semester.

This past weekend was enjoyable. Friday evening I had a "Liz night" - just a night all to myself. I took myself out to dinner at the local coffeehouse. Then I returned to my dorm where I watched Ugly Betty and read a book that was not connected any of my academic classes. It was so nice and relaxing. I snuggled in my snuggie (yes, I have a snuggie - it is amazing and reasonably priced when purchased from Wal-Mart) and enjoyed my alone time.

Saturday I headed into Atlanta to see the Ad Hoc musical: The Apple Tree. Ad Hoc is the student group on at Emory College that puts on a musical each semester. Anyways, I went to the Atlanta campus to meet up with a friend of mine who attended Oxford last year and is now a junior at Emory College. After the show (which was fabulous!), my friend and I got dressed for Halloween and joined some others to have a little Halloween shindig. We decided to watch Clue, the 1985 film, and eat lots of candy.

Now I am getting ready for lots and lots of work. I have one exam on Friday: Chemistry. Next week I have three exams: Genetics, Calculus and Biological Anthropology. Late nights are definitely in my near future, that is for sure.

But when all these exams are over, Fall Formal at the Fox Theater is on Friday! At least I have something to look forward to at the end of all this stress.

Now I must return to homework and studying...

Peace and love,
Lizzy
