December

Happy December!

Yes, so it's over a week into December, and this is my first entry of the month, but we've been really, really busy. In fact, doing this right now is stopping me from writing part of the 20-odd pages I've got to do for Friday. Friday! It's very nice to have a break though.

We've both been doing well in class - Tom did a presentation on Monday, and said that his essay was clearly much better than anyone else's. I did one this morning and it was scary. I'm halfway through a paper of the Iranian media, and a very tiny way into a take-home exam on Islam + revolutions. One big presentation, one little presentation, and two five-ish-page exams due next week. Tom has three exams next week, one paper due tomorrow, and I believe that's about it.

Two weeks today is when we fly back. It will be such a relief to have finished everything. The weather is turning on us, although when I put it into words it just sounds pathetic - we both woke up freezing cold the night before last when it got to about 20 degrees! It's going to be such a shock when we come back, I can't even fathom colder than that night at the moment.
