oh iowa. it's hammertime.

my weekend in iowa has left me feeling very behind in my work. i have so much latin to catch up on, not to mention weeks and weeks of reading for IR and prof conzen's class. now this week is bidding for classes and i'm totally confused about my concentrations and i have no idea what to do. why can't financial aid be available to fifth years?? more importantly, all i want to do is teach, so why am i so worried about my major anyway??
goodness i am just freaking out about nothing.

the weekend, however, regardless of the stress it seems to be causing me now, was quite pleasant, unpredictably and unexpectedly so, with a fair share of entertaining and interesting highlights. most certainly. the entertainment provided by the "buddy system" alone was priceless.
the actual tournament went alright, i proved to myself that maybe i have learned at least something and gotten somewhere in the last 2 years of mock, maybe that's not saying much, but its something. and i'm pleased about that.

i need perspective!
and advice.
and more.

ice, ice, baby.
