a semester in strasbourg

So it turns out I’m not just abroad, I’m on STUDY abroad. This is all becoming clear as the semester comes to an end and I have ridiculous amounts of work. I don’t like it. Within a week, I have/had 3 papers, 4 finals, and an oral. Except that after I finished one of the papers, I was told that it would now be “optional” because it was not on the syllabus. Of course, I’ve already written it. Then that same teacher assigns a new paper for her other class instead, which no one knew existed. Great.

I am leaving in a week from tomorrow and all I want to do is go out and experience Strasbourg as much as I can before I leave but I can’t because I have all this WORK. This is quite similar to how I feel at the end of every school year, I suppose…all I want to do is hang out with all my friends before we leave, but everyone’s studying. Reality of life in school I suppose. I guess it’s worth it to be in college, though. I love being a student.

In other news, I have been feeling much better health-wise, and I finally got around to going back to the gym today, and I was able to do an hour of cardio! Yay! It was nice to finally have the energy to do that again. Being sick has not been fun.
