Crunch time

You can tell it's getting towards the end of the semester when you give a major presentation on Thursday, have an (unstudied-for) exam on Saturday, another presentation on Wednesday, and some other semester project to turn in or present every week for the next month before the actual exams. Yes, those days when I complained about not having enough actual work are over. I'm also supposed to do a couple of interviews for France Today, the magazine I've been writing for (latest article on Parisian roof explorers now available for interested parties), and maybe write something about the riots for Kristina. The interviews, if these bastard will call me back, could include the star of Amelie. And no, I'm not going to ask for autographs. Sorry.

But I'm just happy the presentation on Thursday didn't totallty suck. Kind of the equivalent of an oral semester project, I had to do a ton of research and boil everything down into a ten minute presentation. Not an easy task when the article you have to explain is actually a critique of a marxist critique of the industrial revolution and development of the factory system. But it worked out.

Other than that, this week I have now seen Good Night Good Luck, made dinner for Claire, eaten Tunisian pastries, and done my laundry. What I haven't done is study for the exam that's coming up in four hours. Meh.

So I guess I'll go do that then.
