So It's

Strange, I had not made a single mention to the fact that I have finals. I've studied my ass of this last weekend and the past few days. I have a total of 3 finals tomorrow. One is online [death & dying] and easy schmezy, which I can't take til 3pm. In the morning I have a big final in my archeology class, which is what I've been mostly studying for. Then after that I have my final interview in sign language. This is the last interview I will ever have to endure. This will be my last and final day of sign language. It is a pretty crazy thought, but I am relieved for that class always makes me nervous. It's not the language, it's the requirement for peer interaction. Heh. So as much as I am excited to have two years of sign language under my belt, interviews always make me nervous. The pure fact that this is my last one makes matters even worse [I'm still exaggerating]. Interviews are basically one on one with the professor while being videotaped. The professor just signs questions, usually incorporating anything and everything that we learned over the course of the semester. But because this is the final semester of sign language she is just asking random questions about ourselves. So I really don't have a clue what to prepare for other than the few things she had us write down about ourselves on index cards. I kept it basic, down to the things I can sign and require less fingerspelling. It's basically just chatting. 2 things that make me nervous, aside from the general obvious fact of being intensely observed by a professor and video camera. First, since we have completed all levels possible, we should be fluent. Second, I've never engaged in an interview with my current professor so I don't really know what to expect. My last professor, whom I had for two semesters, was pretty chill when it came to interviews. She kind of got carried away with talking/asking us stuff. Not that my current professor is strict, but everyone has different styles. I'll be thrilled to get it out of the way.
I'm just fortunate that since I do have 3 finals in one day, only 1 requires more effort. So it feels like I only have one and just 2 simple assignments on the side. My last final for my Human Origins class is Tuesday morning. And then! SUMMER!!!! I can finally read, paint, hang out, sleep, whatever I want! Basically just do more of each of those things. Not to mention Nine Inch Nails concert next Friday! I haven't seen them in nearly 4 years, and that was probably one of my best experiences ever. I will also be working a lot too, which kind of gets in the way. But I do need the money for I am always broke in the summer. Luckily since I enrolled in summer classes I will have some extra cash from the leftovers of financial aid. I'm excited about that. I had taken a loan for $3,000. Wasn't sure how much I would need for the summer term, ended up being 500 bucks less. So that's cool. Aside from doing everything else, I'm really hoping of a small vacation, my usual hope. I've been minimally discussing a possible wine tour since before I turned 21, I hope it happens regardless. Sooner the better. That would be fantastical fun. Well, enough of the in depth update I have some studying to do!
