Done with Finals!

YES! Just finished finals and I'm pretty happy, though my hand hurts a lot from writing. 2 essay in 2 hours, plus the paper that was due this morning. My mind started getting fried toward the last hour, but hopefully all went well.

I know I haven't posted in a while, sorry. It hit me last week that I had very limited time left here and I've been trying to go and see and do everything I wanted to see before I leave this wonderful place. Tomorrow is my last day to do things; I think I will have tea at the Copper Kettle one last time, and go to the museums I haven't gone to yet. And pack, of course. Then 5 days in London.

Tonight there are to be major celebrations. We're going punting in about half an hour, apparently a tradition after finals are over. Tonight we have our last (sniff!) formal hall, then Celidh, some kind of crazy Welsh dancing, I believe. These Cambridge kids really know how to live it up...work hard, play harder, I guess!

I'm really going to miss this place; I don't think I'll ever get a chance to do such a program again, since I'm graduating next year. I can always come back to Cambridge to visit, but to live and study here, and meet 50 new friends-turned-good buddies in a month is a once in a lifetime chance. I can't believe this is almost over.

Off to go punting!
