Can I tell you it's a bit embarassing to look at the date of my last post and realize it's been more than two weeks? I've always made a bad journal-keeper, though (I've started and stopped roughly 4,293.7 journals in my life), so I guess that's not much different.
Anyway.
Michael and I survived finals.
All of them.
Sometimes it felt like I'd never get to say that we were finally done with finals.
Yesterday, we each had our last final. Michael spent about 7 hours on his literature class final, which was all essays. LONG essays. Full papers. Not short answer. Entire papers. BLEH.
I had a scheduled final (Health 460: Substance Abuse and Addictive Behaviors) from 5:45 to 7:45. It didn't take me the whole time, so when we met back at our apartment, Michael was ready to do something to celebrate. I, on the other hand could hardly construct an intelligible sentence in my mush-for-brains state. So Michael listened while I mumbled for a while, then we called it a night.
I don't think I've ever felt this burnt out in my whole academic career. Ew.
Michael was also weary of the long semester, but he's always so cheery and optimistic, I feel rather silly sometimes being Sally Raincloud.
Filled with dreams of all that could possibly fit into these (VERY) few days between semesters (hikes, walks, movies, adventure!), I awoke this morning to discover that it was, in fact, raincloud-y. And also that we still have to go to work till noon.
So plan B is in the works. Probably more along the lines of grocery shopping (which Michael and I both unabashedly adore), amaretto hot chocolate drinking, and pajama-clad movie watching.
Mmm... that doesn't sound so bad.

Emily, I hope you don't mind that I've been blog-stalking you! :) I saw a link to your blog on Tara's blog (and I found the link to her blog on Joanelle Alldredge's used-to-be Brewer's blog!) Whew! I must say that it must be wonderful to be done with finals. My husband has two weeks of finals coming up at the beginning of May, and I think I'm dreading it more than he is. My blog is private, but if you want to check it out you can send me your email in a message on facebook. I will then send you an invite and you can choose to visit whenever you please. By the way, you're marriage looks very blissful!
Joanelle Brewer! Wow, I remember going to Achievement Days at her house. Fun!
By the way, I completely don't mind the way you found me :)
And also...my marriage IS totally blissful!
