Think Good Thoughts

So this week I have been trying to get my mind right - or at least better. It was a busy week. On Monday I had to present for my class. The teacher doesn't like to teach so she gives us al articles to present to our fellow classmates. I don't know why she's even there but that's besides the point. So it went pretty well. 1 down 2 to go. Tuesday I had another French test. It went ok. I studied alot of things that weren't on the test but I think I did ok. I like that we have 6 tests and not just 1 but they seem to come pretty quickly and keep coming.... I'll find out how I did next Tuesday. Wednesday I had my mid-term for Corp Finance. I was really nervous. I don't know why - but much more so than in the states. Well I finished - there were 4 questions I found to be really challenging - we'll see how I did in a couple of weeks. They don't use scantrons here so he has to read all of our tests - who knows how long that's going to take. Maybe I'll find out before i leave.

This week it has decided to get cold - really quickly. We have ows in the 30's at night. It is amazing that growing up in Wisconsin how I don't have a sense of winter anymore. I guess I have been living inthe south for too long because I can't take this. I thnk what makes it worse is that the window in my room doesn't close all the way so I have a constant stream of cold air coming into my room. Thursday night is when I figured this out. I tried to McGuyver a solution but it is ony temporary. This is where the Google Translate comes in. I wrote a note to George - Ana's son about how cold it was & I asked him to fix the window - which probably will not happen but I amso asked for another blanket. I got a big comforter this morning! Now hopefully I won't have to sleep in a shrt, sweatshirt, long pants w/ 2 pairs of socks on with my head under the covers. I don't thinkn I've ever woken up with my nose cold before in my life. They also told me that the heat doesn't work until after the 1st of November but I turned it on out of desperation last night - I was going to trck myself & then a funny thing hapened. The heat actualy came on! But only for a little while - I left it on & it worked a little while I was sleeping because when I woke up this morning - it was actually almost plesant in here. I hope my trick works again tonight.

Well today is Friday & I don't have class so I will probably hang out downstairs for most of the day. We'll see what happens.
