sometimes i just wish i could hug all of your troubles away.

i can't even believe that it's december already. how did that happen? i'm going to be in athens soon--i arrive 2 weeks from yesterday. i am really, really excited about that. i just have to finish finals first, which seems such an insurmountable feat right now. yes yes, i know i did a whole quarter of organic chemistry in 4 days. but that was different.

just to update you, the naked final went well. my instructor mentioned to me that i need to be a little more confident, which:
1) is probably easier to say when you're not the one who was just naked in front of someone with a clipboard;
2) we all already know.
but thanks for the advice anyway. i appreciate it, and i really will think about it. really.
plus i think it will be easier and a little more "natural" with real people in a real setting as opposed to the lab with my friend and a teacher evaluating everything i do.
and also, remember how 5 minutes ago i was naked? right.

if anybody has any tips for how to learn spanish really quick, let me know. i guess i have about a year, but i want to get a move on nonetheless.

it's been a good weekend so far. i have seen 3 really good movies already, studied with the gang, made cookies and cider, and enjoyed some glorious sunshine. sunshine, sunshine... how you reach into my soul. please don't leave me for so long again, i don't think i could take it.
and i still have a whole day left. i WILL make it count. you can be certain of that.
