Finals Week Shminals Week

Well, it's the last stretch of the semester, and I couldn't be happier with the things that have unfolded. All the new friends I made and experiences I had made for an unforgettable last few months. Only one semester left until Pararescue tryouts, and I'm giddy with excitement. All that's left really to talk about are my finals.
     Today I had 2 finals, one for Aerospace Studies and one for Russian. My aerospace final was a complete joke, 25 multiple choice questions AND there was extra credit. It was almost pointless. My Russian final however was a different story. I studied all week for that and it still hit me like a brick wall. I think I did decent though. Tomorrow is the day I am dreading. First is Latin at 7:30am. That's not SO bad, but I still should study more for it. Then is Hawaiian Studies. Our study guide is enormous, almost 5 pages. And me, hailing from New Jersey, have absolutely zero background or previous knowledge to help me on this test. The professor was so boring during class it was impossible to take notes, and it didn't help that his slides had no words and he just orated everything.
     Anyway, tomorrow is my last day, then I get a nice 4-day vacation until I'm back on the plane to Jersey. Of course I am excited to see my family, but they can be a handful after a while.
     What I'm looking forward to most this break is my friend Eric's birthday on the 28th. Eric is a buddy of mine all through high school, and we both came out to Hawaii for college. When we go back for break, we are going to Atlantic City for his 21st. His parents bought us and a bunch of our other friends a 4-bedroom hotel suite at a 5-star hotel (yeah, they are loaded...) which has an enormous indoor pool with beds and a swim-up bar. Then we plan on hitting the casino and going broke. But it's okay because we will just get really drunk and try to forget I guess..
    I assume this is our last blog post as well. These were actually quite enjoyable for me to talk about whatever, whether people were reading them or not. It was also fun reading all of yours! Hope you all had a great semester as well and good luck in all your future endeavors.
