March 25

I was the only one in my apartment to wake up before 2pm, so I sat alone in our living room doing all of my math homework for the next few weeks. I finished trig, which is due the Wednesday after the Barcelona trip and precalc, which isn't due until two weeks after Barcelona. We don't think our teacher realized tat we have April 4th off...so we only have one more class with her and the exam until we're finished. Once everyone started waking up Jacqueline came down and we all decided we'd take a walk to the riverbed to attempt to fly her kite. Her parents sent her a care package with Easter candy and this very, very tiny kite...it's something Mom would have put in our Easter baskets, I think she has once, actually. Anyway, it was about 80 degrees outside and it was nice to just sit in the park and relax for a while.

Today was the beach day. Lia wanted everyone up and ready to go by 9:30...we all left around 10:30 and got to the beach by 11. It was super nice for the first hour or 2, but by 1 it started to get really windy, and therefore, cold. We came back and some of them left to go shopping, and I took a nap. Later I went for a walk around the city and I imagined how it had looked only a week earlier. There are still a lot of people, but not nearly as many, and I have yet to hear a firework/firecracker go off since March 19th, it's literally Heaven. On my way back I stopped for gelato, because I hadn't had it in a while. I actually wanted a hot fudge sundae from McDonald's, but the place was packed and the line was too long, so I figured I could get that in America, I might as well get gelato while I still can.

This morning I woke up and went to church. It was a lot less stressful than Palm Sunday and I could follow along more easily. I came home and made myself this very great, very large American breakfast: scrambled eggs, toast, and real bacon. Jacqueline came in later and made me feel bad for not doing micro work, so I kicked out 3 papers too. Then I went on a run/walk through the riverbed and came back here to plan Geneva. We're planning on blowing our budgets on $40 fondue for a night, we think it's well worth it. 

Tonight I also researched everything I could about actuarial science and I am freaking out. There is so much to do and so many classes...the internet people keep telling me it's rare to not fail a class and there is a 40% passing rate on the exams. The 7 exams I'd have to take at some point. It's rough, next year will definitely be a wake up call. I can't believe the semester is almost over, it's gone by way too fast.
