I had my long dreaded Biology exam yesterday, and it went surprisingly well :) I was nervous for about two minutes, then the rest was almost stress-free. I got a 5, which corresponds to a B, so I'm very pleased :D I do think that I've could have got an A if I hadn't been nervous and stuttered in the beginning. Words came out wrong and I forgot to mention some details. When they asked me about the details, I got everything right, even when they asked me things that are not in my book :) After the exam yesterday my boyfriend surprised me with a bottle of yummy red wine, and then he made taco wraps for dinner! I have the best bf :)
I've had so much fun reading Biology, I almost can't wait to start the next book in January! I hope I can get it before Christmas and start reading as soon as I've had my math exam at the end of November. I have given up getting a passing grade in math this year, because so far I don't understand anything in the book and I need more time to absorb everything. Three short months just aren't enough... Luckily I can give it another try in the spring semester, which is longer than the fall.
Today I thought I would relax and start writing a short article for the Norwegian Egyptology Society Bulletin, which is published twice a year. The first issue came out just days ago, when we had our second meeting since we officially became an organization. Right now we have only about 20 paying members, but the number is growing :) On Saturday we had a board meeting and on Sunday a few people had lectures about subjects related to Ancient Egypt. Because of all this I had no time for studies the whole weekend, and I had to work my bum off the following days to get through the biology book. I made it, but now I'm really tired. I've been at the library for several hours now, and I haven't written a word on the article yet. Oh, well... The next issue is not due for months yet, and I should probably try to concentrate on the math as much as possible. Kind of hard, though, with so much interesting stuff going on. In ten days the museum (with help from me and my boyfriend) is going to have an Egyptian Day, and there is going to be an 'authentic' Ancient Egyptian burial of a mummified hen! My bf and I are constructing a coffin for the creature, and we're making a replica of a mummy coffin that the museum has in its collection. Neat, huh? I hope the crowd will be pleased :)
I'm getting hungry and haven't packed lunch, so I think perhaps it's best to go home and eat something :)
