Oh yes. That's right. The time in the semester when everything catches up to you and somehow your professors think it's the exact right time to add in a ton more homework. I have midterms this week and next, just found out for my Politics and Terrorism class that in addition to the midterm that we have on Monday and the 8-10 page research paper we have due on the 26th, we are going to do an in-class debate. Then he proceeded to hand out the HUGELY thick packets of information that we are supposed to read entirely as well as do some outside research in order to prepare for the debate we are having this Wednesday. I mean, don't professors understand that we have other classes too? Oh yes, and his midterm is essay question format. Those are the worst to study for. Thanks, profe, you're the best. In another class, we are starting to read La casa de los espíritus by Isabel Allende. This book is huge, with very small writing, oh yes, and completely in SPANISH. I don't even want to think about how long it will probably take me to read this book. But we only have less than two weeks to do it. Now that would be a little hard with an English Literature book, let alone one in Spanish. Well, I suppose it's all towards the goal of making me smarter, right? Riiiiggghhhttt...... I love Spain.
