The summer is officially halfway over! At least school wise. We had our final today, which marks the end of the "first semester" of the summer. I REALLY like these 5 week semester things. I think it's exactly how I was designed to learn:
Week 1: Decide you're getting an A in all your classes this semester. Sit in the front row, pay attention, take great notes and stay very organized with all your material.
Week 2: Start getting bored of the material, but then the midterm is coming up so you have to prepare for that.
Week 3: Midterm!! Study because after this test, you're halfway done with the semester
Week 4: Recover from the midterm. While studying for the test you realized that you should have paid more attention and taken better notes, so you spend the week after doing that.
Week 5: Finals week!! Cram everything in that you've been learning, study because you're motivated by the fact that you need a 120% to get an A and you think that's possible, and then take your final! (I estimated the 120... I think that was an overestimate).
In summary, in terms of Marnie-motivation, 5 week semesters are GREAT.
So because it was week 5, I really have nothing new to write about. I got back from an amazing week and spent time catching up on things at Tech and studying for the final. We have a flight tonight at 9:00 to head to London, and we'll spend the night camping outside Wimbledon trying to get tickets for tomorrow!! Fingers are crossed for no rain...
More to come later. Just wanted to send a quick update that life is good, Ireland has returned to typical rainy weather, and I'm officially halfway done with the semester!
