Midterms
These past couple of days have been quite insane, with Iddo staying the weekend and Elkind finally arriving at LSE, not to mention midterms looming for the coming week. However, I am getting things together now and ready to take the midterms on full force, no matter how gloomy they seem.
I have 2 2000 word essays and 3 tests. One essay is due Tuesday. The other is Thursday. There is also one test on Tuesday and 2 on Wednesday. Nothing should be overly difficult or stressful. The papers are going to be a grind, but I am not too worried about it. For my Minorities essay I'll spend a day researching British Jews either tomorrow or Sunday and write it Monday. If anyone knows of any good online sources or even text sources I should check out please let me know.
My lit essay looks to be a little more difficult, as I haven't finished the book I'm supposed to write about yet. No worries, though, because it's not due till Thursday.
Enough about tests. Onto the fun. Three hours after my last class on Thursday, at 4:15, Rocky and I are hopping a Eurostar train to Paris. I will stay there for a few days, then fly down to Rome to visit the Friedrich boys, then after that go to Brussels Thursday or Friday of that week. Should be a helluva week. I'll be sure to take many a photo.
As far as what I've been upto, the highlights have been most definately the shows I've seen. First, on Tuesday, my music class went on a trip to the Royal Festival Hall and saw the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra play 3 pieces, the highlight being Holst's The Planets. It was so cool. Then, last night, we went to the Royal Opera House and saw Mozart's Cossi fan Tutti. It was surprisingly entertaining. The surtitles made it understandable and the actors dressed in modern costumes to make it easier to follow. Afterwards, I visited Elkind and walked around town for a bit, then slept over at his flat. Always nice to catch up with old camp buds.
