done my finals.

finished with my finals. i thought i had bombed the essay portion of my history final because i got the dates confused and wasn't prepared......AT ALL. fortunately i did better than i thought and my professor really likes me for some reason. got A's in all of my classes....i still think there must have been a mistake somewhere.
awesome thing to happen....my history professor is very accomplished, had a bajillion degrees and titles, worked at the library of congress, etc. she asked me to part of a project dealing with agriculture as a means to end poverty in africa. i have to read and critique a stack full of proposals, reports, journals prepared by universities and institutions and present my own idea and compile a report on the pros and cons of all my readings. i then have to present it to one of the leaders of the world bank. SAY WHAT?!! anyways i have two weeks and i'm feeling a bit under-qualified. good opportunity and learning experience though. we'll see.

my weekend...

last weekend i discovered book tv on cspan2. i never knew i could have so much fun on tv. it was great. maybe i'm a nerd, or maybe i'm just too lazy to read the books myself. either way i had a great weekend. bad news though...i got really excited when i got home tonight because i realized i could watch book tv. i never get excited about tv. i started scanning though the cannels, but i couldn't find book tv. for a split second i thought comcast the digital satan (thank you nas) had heard me raving to my roommates about how much i loved and learned from book tv and in an attempt to shut down free thinking cancelled the book tv channel, then i found out book tv is only on the weekends....bummer, but now i have something new to do on the weekends.
