Sono Stanca

Let me begin by telling you that my study abroad program is not a joke. We don't do coloring books and "group trips".

My week has been as follows:

Sunday night: 2 hours of sleep

Monday: 10 pager due for Egypt. It was a critical analysis of the representation of Egyptian death rituals in The Mummy. Yes, one can write at least 10 pages on the subject.

5 hours of sleep

Tuesday: Used to write the Archaeology of Rome paper that was due Wednesday.

45 minutes of sleep

Wednesday: 10 pager for Arch of Rome. This gem was on Pompeii, it was a refutal of "The Pompeii Premise."

Wednesday night was spent writing the paper that was due Thursday

2 hours of sleep

Thursday: 10 pager due for Arts of Antiquity. It was a critical analysis and evaluation of the Nile Mosaic at Palestrina. I argued in favor of the mosaic as an image of exoticism.

Thursday night was spent writing the myth that was due on Friday.

Sadly, there was not enough time to write both the myth and Roman political paper.

3 hours of sleep

Friday: 10 page myth and analysis due for Mythology. Mine was an allegory for the oil crisis.

also due was a 10 page paper on the role that soft power played in the Roman Republic for Caesar, Cicero, and the Collapse of the Roman Republic. After missing the 3:30 pm deadline, I spent from 6:00pm to 12:30 am finishing.

I am now off to pack for my weekend in London during which I intend to do nothing but wander, sleep, and enjoy myself. Well, maybe study a little because...

in case 5 papers weren't enough, I still have the pleasure of 4 finals next week.

Grand.

However, after finals I am off to Amsterdam and Vienna!
