A little Joey Lawrence expression of surprise sums up my state of being right now. I finished my last exam a little less than an hour ago and I am both relieved (they're over), excited (I have 2 weeks of movies, dinners, walks, and lounging ahead of me), proud (I kicked ass on my exams and I have the grades to prove it), and a little confused. I feel like two months of my life have passed with absolutely no time for anything but studying. I realized that I am incapable of multi-tasking. I am incapable of taking classes "just for the visa." I am not a recovering perfectionist, but a well-anchored obsessive who fortunately isn't peeing into jars and repeating "way of the future" over and over again. Then again Howard Hughes wasn't doing that at age 25, so maybe I have a lot to look forward to.

Ok, perhaps I am not so one-track, as I have obviously been to the movies recently, as well as to the Holocaust Memorial that was opened last week in Paris, a bar tour of rue des Dames, and lots of other fun stuff. I have lost little sleep, despite my workaholicism. We hosted Turkish friends Uraz and Oya for a week, which was...wild. I have been having dreams reminding me to contact people who I haven't in a while and will soon. Promise. Even my parents haven't heard from me in a month. So don't feel bad.

Ok, I am going to heat up my fish curry that I made yesterday. Add some chicken satay and a bamboo shoot salad and we have a victory meal on our hands. Long live leisure!
