Only a month left!

Hi again!

Coursework is pretty heavy at the moment; I have 3 essays due in the next 2 weeks. Next Monday (as in, a week from tomorrow), my second British History essay is due, as well as my first Edinburgh in Fiction essay. My professor in the latter class gave us a little treat in that there is no class or reading for this week- instead, it's 'Essay Completion Week'. No such luck for British History; we still have the regular 3 lectures and our tutorial. The following Monday, my second English Literature 2 essay is due.

Last night (Saturday night) was really nice. Kate and I made brownies and watched the first two episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which I haven't seen for years and hadn't realized how much I missed.

On a completely unrelated note, I recently learned about an annual charity hitchhike from the UK to either Morocco or Prague, and have decided I really, really want to do it. Basically, it benefits an organization called Link Community Development (http://www.lcdinternational.org/). They work in Ethiopia, Ghana, Malawi, South Africa, and Uganda, striving to 'improve access to quality education and promote the wellbeing of young people in rural communities'. The annual Hitch starts in England and Wales (people can start their hitchhike from wherever they are in the UK), and from there participants hitchhike to either Morocco (the original destination, and obviously the longer one) or Prague (this destination was added for people who didn't have enough time to devote to hitchhiking all the way to Morocco). At this point I'm leaning towards Prague, simply because I would be doing this over Spring Break, which I also need to devote to studying since all of my exams are worth HALF of my grade.
