Studying...Studying...Studying....Lanchetta!

Day 1 of finally getting to study for these nasty exams was a quasi-success.  I say 'quasi' because I did succeed in translating around 14 pages of one of my presentations and making bi-lingual notes. Awesome?? It may appear so...however, this took me about 5 hours! This process only involved a few things:  one very large dictionary, a pocket translator (thank you sister Tiff! :) ), google translate from time to time (can't always trust what that will give you), and a 501 verb book (which still manages to leave out certain scientific verbs. sweet. :( ).  Why do I tell you all of this??

Because that presentation was 1 of about 6 for that class. And that class is one exam out of the 9 I have to take which all have that amount if not more presentations.  Needless to say, I have it all under control and I am nowhere close to PANICKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I'M TOTALLY COOL. NOT WORRIED AT ALL....sorry am I yelling? I lost myself for a minute there. Phew...anyway....

I'm sure I'll get it sorted better tomorrow, and I'm really just venting about the frustration of the 4 extra exams that are AFTER my week of Master's exams (stupid stupid stupid).  I'll be fine. I'm gonna take those exams to the cleaners! (Can I use that analogy here??) Even with the positive attitude though, 5 hours of that would cause anyone to go a little crazy.

Thank God for Lanchetta. My other home. Nothing party planning, xmas candy (from the Rosenthal fam of course!), and some Portuguese port wine can't fix. :) I am once again renewed with optimism. I can take on the world! Too cheesy? Yeah I thought so too. Anyway, I'm really just glad that I was able to sleep at 1am last night and become a daywalker again. I got up at 8:30 am. BAM! Take that jet lag!

Jet Lag: 2 Sarah: 1

Crap he's still winning...You wait til tomorrow jet lag!!! I will dominate!!! (you can't see but i'm shaking my fist)

 With that all, I am off to bed. Love, love, love!
