I was able to get through all of my essays for politics today. Feels soooo good. Yes...I know I finished 2.5 of them yesterday so really all I did today was half an essay but that half an essay was harder than the other two and a half put together and took longer too! Like I said yesterday the question was, "Citing real world examples, examine the strengths and weaknesses of systems of Proportional Representation." It was hard because even to start off with I knew what PR was, but I didn't really know about the different systems within it so I had to first research those. Then, I didn't know the strengths and weaknesses so I had to research those. THEN, to be able to write about those strengths and weaknesses I found I had to find real examples of those strengths and weaknesses to talk about! Needless to say it was a LOT of research.
But now it's done. Well, pretty much done...I emailed them to Maire and she's going to look over them and I might have to make some changes but hopefully not too many! The bonus to finishing them soooo early (technically he gave me until December 23rd to finish them) I can be completely done with this semester come next Tuesday at about 11:30am when I hand in my finished sociology final!
Now tomorrow is going to be completely filled with straightening out my essays for sociology and hopefully starting on memorizing them. I've got them written out for the most part I just have a little bit to add to two of them. I'll do that tomorrow and get as much memorized as I can. I'm hoping if I can get them practically all memorized tomorrow I won't have to do much studying over the weekend in Scotland other than reading over them a couple times each night to keep them fresh!
Also since tomorrow is Thursday I have my last management class from 2-4. All I have to do is go and listen to the professor talk and hand in my two essays that I've had done for weeks now and that class is over too!
Sooo...I had been saying since I got back from Paris that I needed to do laundry and I finally did it today! Putting on your last pair of clean panties in the morning means that you had better do laundry that night so I did haha.
I've been working tonight on finishing up our plans for when my parents get here because they get here in JUST 10 DAYS!!!! But ten days is really soon when you don't have all your travel plans or hotels booked so I'm getting on that haha. I've changed our plans a bit because I decided I don't really need to go to that restaurant in Bradford and turns out my mom has already seen the Leeds castle (and she likes castles so that was another reason I was taking them there) so I'm taking that out and spending a couple more days in Ireland. I absolutely loved Galway and the tour I went on and I think it is 100% worth it to do it again and let them experience it. Extremely gorgeous views that you just won't see anywhere else and also one of my parents things they are most excited about is the pubs. Galway had the best pubs I've seen and they also had amazing fish and chips which is something both my parents really like too! So...here is the new all detailed list for our plans!!!
