Presque la fin

So I have less than a week now...I admit I'm used to semesters going by really quickly, but I feel like this one takes the cake. I'll be pretty sad to leave France, but also really happy to get back to the States. I miss sloppy, careless American food and making money. I'm really excited to start my summer job because some Russian team scooped my project while I was abroad and I'll theoretically get to pick up an entirely new one. Oh yeah, I don't have any photos today; I've been too lazy to upload them. I took my last scary exam today, which was for Medieval Art. I thought it went ok until I saw in my notes that illustrations are precious arts and stained glass is not. Oh well; I bet it didn't go too badly. I did really well on the bio exam for my second bio class, and I think the exam for the Arabic Literature class went ok too. Now I've just got Grammar tomorrow and then I'll be done. However between then and Monday I need to get ready to go, which will be tough. I still want to see at least four things in Paris, buy lots of stuff and do all my packing. And since there's a weight limit on the plane, I may end up needing to send things back to the States too. So basically packing needs to be figured out Friday. I'm not even worried about the exam tomorrow; I'm just worried about all the crap I have to do afterwards. Anyways, the last week: not much to say because everything was wrapping up and I was studying a lot. We did a visit to the St Denis Basilica, the first piece of Gothic art, on Saturday, and then ate at a great couscous place. Unfortunately there aren't a ton of exciting things going on now that it's almost over, but I promise to do a big philosophical essay at the end, maybe when I'm back in the States. I hope everyone's enjoying their vacations!
