the next two weeks are going to be h&*%

So, I think that I'm going to explode, or implode, or experience some kind of -plosion. I have five days of classes left and then finals. I am not having fun. This semester I've been in classes that have all gone toward my degree: Biblical Hebrew, Modern Hebrew, Phonology and Morphology, French Civ II, and French Translation... No fluff classes. And they're so hard!!! Sigh... So I have to put together my portfolio of French Translations, translate a few acts of Cyrano de Bergerac into English and then compare it to two other English translations, study all sorts of forms of ancient Hebrew verbs and vocabulary, study all sorts of modern Hebrew newspaper articles and vocabulary, read a couple chapters about Morphology, do some really wicked studying about French history from 1900 to 1950, and write a 7 to 10 page paper about Impressionism (which wouldn't be too bad, except that it has to be in French...). And of course, I have to go to classes still and do all the homework involved. I'm a little frazzled. So if I seem to disappear from the face of the earth for a while, you now know why...
