Today I spent 4 hours in a cafe working on my International Relations essay. Somehow, I work really really well when I have caffeine and a hot plate of french toast with bacon (canadian style) and banana in front of me. A very kiwi thing to eat! You literally eat all three in the same bite and it's delicious. I also got a care package from Nanna and Poppy in the mail with pancake mix that we're going to use on a sandwich press/griddle to make pancakes, and put the Connecticut maple syrup from Uncle Steven on it for all my Kiwi friends to try. I'm super excited for that!
Anyway, I got some grades back this week- I got an A on my philosophy exam and I got an A on my marine ecology exam! A's here go from 100 down to about 85, and class averages are in the sixties. Tests here are harder and they expect more, so I'm SUPER excited that I'm doing well in at least those two classes. My other two classes (geography and international relations) have only had one assignment that doesn't count for much, so I don't actually know how well I'm learning the material. This essay that I'm working on for International Relations is really interesting to me,and I feel like I'm definitely learning the material. I initially took that class to learn more about global politics, and I'm definitely succeeding. It hasn't been the easiest class but I absolutely feel like I'm getting a lot out of it. I also feel like I'm going to be pretty stressed for finals (my first final is actually June 2nd!) because they're worth so much of my grade. I do have tons of time to study for them though, because lectures end June 3rd, and then I have over a week to study for my next final.
