I’m hurtling towards the end of the semester, and I can feel the pressure increasing. There’s final papers to write, suitcases and boxes to pack and mail, friends to spend time with.

I’ve written 2 out of my 4 Hausarbeiten, my final papers, so far. Those were the shorter, easier ones, and now I have two monster 10 page papers to write. I’m hoping they won’t be too difficult. One of them I’d done a presentation on the same subject earlier in the year and won’t be starting from scratch as far as research goes, and the second one I can write in English, as the studies I’ll be analyzing are all published in English.
