I have finally finished all my work and taken my last exam for the quarter. I am never, ever taking four classes for credit again. This quarter it was especially bad because I had the big paper due the second week of the quarter, the French Reading Exam (which I "High Passed" by the way) and I had to turn in all my course papers and take exams early because I applied to receive my MA. The good news is I've been accepted to continue in the program, so now I have comprehensive exams and my dissertation to look forward to. :) But, this summer I plan to relax and in the fall, with luck, I will be excavating in Egypt. Yay! Oreo will be happy - I'll have time to pay attention to him. And Tom will be happy - I'll have time to pay attention to him too. :) And speaking of Tom, I must say here that I could not have survived the last quarter without him - he was awesome! He cooked, he cleaned (sometimes), he handled the shopping, he drove me to class, he came with me to the library and made copies of things I needed while I was busy doing other work, he listened to me brainstorm and whine and carry on and gave me lots of hugs. If I ever doubted how lucky I am to have married him (and I haven't) I sure don't now. TOM RULES!!!!!!! And now he's gainfully employed, so he rules even more!
