Hey Girls!

                Everything here at Carleton has been so busy lately so I've been having trouble finding any time for myself. Let me give you the rundown...

                Last week I got really sick (to the point of not being able to go to class for a couple days) so I woke up early on Tuesday and went to the clinic on campus and it turns out I had a chest infection so they put me on antibiotics (I wasn't able to swallow anything because my throat hurt too much so they gave me banana flavoured medicine and it is SO DELICIOUS). After a few days of being on antibiotics I was back to feeling normal but I had a lot of work to catch up on and a lab to prepare for. I had to lock myself in my room for a couple nights to do some homework but I got it all done and our chemistry midterms were marked so I checked my grade and turns out I got 96% so you can imagine my excitement!

                My Friday was pretty low-key this weekend. After my lab (which ran until 5:30) I went over to Prescott (the nice residence on campus - it looks more like apartments than dorms) and watched movies and hung out with my roommate, best friend (who visits me pretty much every weekend) and the boys who live there (all four of them are engineers). Saturday was Halloween so everyone on my floor got all dressed up and we threw a floor party in our TV Lounge but, around 11:30 Res Security came and kicked out everyone who didn't live on the floor so after that there were only about 20 of us left.

                I have a LinA (linear algebra) test and a chemistry quiz tomorrow so all day today (Tuesdays are my easy days with only 2 and a half hours of classes) I've been doing homework and review for those classes. Later tonight, we're having a LinA study group (me and three of the guys on my floor all have a test tomorrow) so hopefully that will clear some things up. Algebra is a class I'm struggling with - I can do everything for the most part but I don't really know why I'm doing anything - so my friends and I have all been working together to try and figure it out. Study time so I'm out for now - wish me luck!
