Week 7

Good Morning! A small update lays ahead.

Mother's Day passed with only some incidence, which you will see if you dare to read the post below, but overall, it went as well as could be expected. This evening I rushed to finish two midterm papers that are due in 9 hours and the whole time I heard her voice. "You've had a week to do them. Why didn't you work on them a little at a time?" Because that's just not how I roll. I finished them by the way.

This Friday is Relay for Life. Oregon has decided to whip out its best attitude this spring so for this weekend's event, it will be 64 and raining. It was 82 three days ago. Urg! Nothing says a relay and sleeping off and on in a tent like cold and wet. But it's for a good cause that has some meaning to me, so hopefully it will be fine.

Friends are pouring into town in about a week for my bridal shower and I could not be any more excited. The only thing that would make it better is if mom was able to be there with us, but I know she will be looking down on us all and smiling at our sharp whit and possibly inappropriate shower games. I miss her everyday. I know she would kick all our asses at porn or polish.

Sorry for the long time between posts. It is week 7 of 11 (if you count finals week) here at Oregon State and it is time for second midterms, deciding if you are going to S/U (pass/no pass) any classes, and crying silently into your pillow while simultaneously praying to the Gods.

Tonight's post is a short one since it is already 1 am and believe it or not, I actually do sleep at night and not just until noon.

Until next time,

Karina

P.S. If you are wondering what porn or polish is, I would ask rather than google. I don't think that search will turn up any good results ;)
