Semester 1, Done

[debka_notion]

Quite anticlimactically, I'm done with finals. I just emailed in my last exam about half an hour ago. I'm not sure what my teacher really wanted, I don't know if I gave it to him, but whatever it is, it's done, and I understand a few things in the sugyot that I wrote about better than I did before I started. Besides that, I wrote 8 full, single-spaced pages today. It doesn't sound like so much, but recognizing that I more often write double-spaced papers, and that this would have been 16 pages long, and that this morning when I started, I had a bit under half a page written, that is a relatively significant amount of writing for one day.

The semester is done, but it hasn't really sunken in yet. Perhaps it will tomorrow. I'm sure it will on Sunday when my apartment will suddenly be empty of occupants other than myself. So now (or well, tomorrow or Sunday), I start planning vacation, now that it has started.

8 single spaced pages in a day is definitely a lot. More than I could ever do.

I tend to just rattle off lots of words- short is not something I'm good at. So it fits my tendencies. But yes, that was quite a bit of writing.

Horray for vacation! congratulations are in order, even if you don't feel done yet.

Seems an odd time to have vacation... when do you start up again?

Second semester starts at the beginning of March, and runs through early June.

so glad that the pressure is off you now. or saying it another way, the pressure is now on in another way. asofcourseyou are aware. damn thiscomputer, i ampressing the space bar but it is not registering it. i will be really interestedin how you proceed, & what you wind up doing. i wish you the best on everything, & hope that the initial indecision is replaced by realizations that seemwonderful. and then actually are.
