midterm done, presentation done... but the paper still remains

I took Karavas' midterm on Monday and it wasn't too bad. he said he wanted us to have a gist of what the main themes and events were and I dare say that I have a very frim grasp of these topics. For his midterm he gave us six questions and then gave us 2 hours to answer them. I chose to write about why Constantine espoused Christianity and why did it spread so fast as well as answering what made the western roman empire fall and what kept the eastern roman empire from falling.
I just gave my presentation on Women and Deomcracy in class with Emma and I'm really gald to have it done. with the test and presentation done all I have left to focus on is my paper due monday and washing my clothes.
today is Gussi's (my room mate's) 21st birthday, so Carolyn and I bought her one of her favorite pastries and woke her up singing "happy birthday" and presented it to her on a plate with a candle in it.
making dinner for people has been a lot of fun. they also don't pressure em to cook which is a good thing because somedays i don't have time. but tonight I am making Shepard's (retarded little brother) pie. why the retarded little brother? well, it's just the ingredients and i'm not twice baking it. oh well.
a week ago i made hamburgers but could n't find buns so we put them on pita and my room mates had feta with it. then we listened to the "Oh Brother Where Art Thou?" soundtrack. we decided that this was the perfect combination of Greek and American cultures. we're nerds at my house.

Getting closer and closer! I hope you're ready for us!Congrats on your presentation and past the midterm! Sounds fascinating. You'll have to fill me in... I'm eager to know.

Rained all day yesterday. But we really needed it.

Hairy's hanging on fairly well. But, I have to say his days are numbered when I walk into a room in the evening and something goes squish under my foot... if you get my meaning.

It'll be good to see you on new territory Mats! I can hardly wait. I hope this visit isn't going to screw up the paper you have tyo do this weekend.

Later kiddo, alex
