Midterms...

Face, meet Desk.
...
Like this:

Countdown of my sanity?
Sure. Here goes...
SEVEN weeks and five days in an amazingly gorgeous country.
SIX classes I am currently trying to juggle.
FIVE weeks and four days until I'm home for Christmas.
FOUR insane roomies who don't really have midterms...
THREE days until midterms are over, for better or worse.
TWO papers due tomorrow...
and ONE homesick student who can't bring herself to write more than the beginning paragraphs...

THAT is a recipe for losing your sanity altogether.

Ergo...
Two seasons of ANTM, 1.5 seasons of modern family, and starting at the beginning of smallville, and I'm still losing my mind.
Combine that with copious amounts of coffee , Jrock, and homesickness, and you've got one insane Irish-American in the emerald isle.

Seriously though. I've seen amazingly gorgeous things while I've been here, and I really am enjoying my trip...
But the truth of the matter is that I am missing people like crazy.
There are a lot of people who mean the world to me who I am experiencing the world without.

I can't wait for Christmas.

SO.
Every time Megavideo maxes out on me because I share an IP address with people, I make packing lists...
And (for once) actually manage to write a blog post, of course.

So here's Sunday...day of rest...and I'm going to spend my day writing papers and going to mass and then writing some more...
IF facebook, youtube, and Nigahiga don't conspire to be my downfall.

But yes, packing lists are being made, gifts are being purchased, and I've had my agenda for December 17th planned out (to the hour) for the past month...don't judge.

...p.s. Smallville rocks my socks.

And so do my insane family members (genetic and adopted) who are keeping me from being actually admitted to the loony bin. ;)

And when I get home, there will be serious glomp-tackles all around.
    Trust me.
       You'd better brace yourself.

I'm gonna hit the tarmac at O'Hare and freak. out. 

           Anywhoodle...

I have papers to write...unfortunately.
     Midterms. Yuck.
Unfortunately, they have to be written.
To quote Lex Luthor (a sign that I've watched too much smallville), "I believe the term is 'Cry Havoc and let slip the dogs of War'."

Those papers are going down.

I'll see you on the other side...hopefully with some sanity left...but i wouldn't bet on it.

Ja! <3
