CLASSES ARE OVER!!!

Yay! I'm forever done with 1L classes! :)

Thoughts about exams:
1. I'm not very stressed about them, actually. Which kind of stresses me out, since several of my classmates are... I guess I oscillate between unstressed and stressed.
2. Some people say that they're not stressed, that they aren't worried about exams. I might be naive to believe them, but I think we're all sort of in the same boat. I think after last semester we realize that studying really hard doesn't really translate into super grades. We're all lumped together. So why study really hard? I think as long as we get a general grasp on it, we're ok. And when I think back to fall exams, I am not sure I actually studied that much; I spent a lot of time on outlines. And the class I spent the least time preparing for, of course, ended up being the best grade.
3. Since we're graded on a curve, we could theoretically all just agree to not study at all. But then again we're here for a reason... nobody would follow through. I know that. I just wish it could happen.

This weekend:
So this weekend is our trip to NH for our anniversary. It's been a long celebration! We started with Sesame Street Live, then we had our actual anniversary, which was not really celebrated - we had Bible study that nignt. Then we had dinner Wednesday at Ruth's Chris (which, by the way, was amazing. It was soooo good to have RED MEAT!) and this weekend we're headed to NH to cap it all off!!

We're staying in a cute little inn. We got a package that included champagne, strawberries, roses on our pillows each day, a gourmet dinner, and hour-long massages! And I think it was cheaper than we could have gotten it back home! (That's a first!)

We leave tomorrow sometime, taking our cute little picnic basket (our anniversary gift to each other - a Target special), fruit, and sandwiches for a picnic lunch. We'll be back on Monday, and then I have to hit the books. My first exam (eek) is Wednesday.

So I am really excited about it. I promised Bryan I wouldn't study, and I promised myself I wouldn't worry about not studying. Again, it'll be fine. I have plenty of time...

Exhale. :)
