Post-work joy!

Man, I can't believe there's only one more day of class to go!  How strange...

But things continue to go well.  I have a few more things to polish off before the end of the year:

1) Edit and resend Japanese literature paper
2) Begin work on Chinese history take-home final
3) Chinese history readings
4) Long Ridge assignment #4
5) Print out Japanese vocabulary sheets and start filling in/studying for final

And...greatest news of all (which I actually got a few days ago)...

Dear Christine,

The department voted yesterday to accept your thesis. Congratulations on
being done.

Take care,

Charles Hartman

Ah, it's nice to know he harbors such warm feelings for me.  Still, I did it.  I beat him...I WON!!

So I'm in a faaaaaaaaaabulous mood.  Plus my Mom called a few days ago and is so excited about graduation plans (she wants to go to all the school-organized activities, like the picnic (where she can meet my coworkers), Torch Night, etc.) and her enthusiasm just brings my spirits way up.  It's hard to go to all the school things if you feel as though your group is bored with them.

Ah.  My back is killing me, though...working the grill makes you stoop over, and four hours of that would make anyone hurt.  I'm going to finish Neo-Confucianism in History and then get to work!
