YAY!!! I’m all done!

I wrote my History in Art exam tonight. It was okay. Although it isn’t a good sign when no one had a clue about one of the questions. At least I wasn’t the only clueless one though! The first question was on the frescoes I wrote my paper on. It was slightly hard to condense all 12 pages of my paper into 1 page of an answer for the question… But at least I knew the answer. I told the prof when I handed the exam in that it was nice to have a question I for sure knew the answer to! She said that she once had it when she put a question on the exam only one student had written on and they were the only one to get it wrong… I’m pretty sure history will not repeat itself here though. Oh, and a side note on where history has repeated itself: I am now firmly entrenched in my conviction that writing a paper the night before it is due is the way to go. I got an A on my Art History paper. I believe I started the writing process the afternoon before it was due, went out for a few hours that night, then came home and wrote the rest. There was only 2 hours of sleep that night, however an A is well worth the effort. Although I think it should have been an A+ – thats what the % works out to anyway. Oh well, beggars can’t be choosers, and I really had no clue how to write an Art History paper, so I’ll take the A!
After the exam I went over to Cinecenta to watch Good Night, And Good Luck, the George Clooney film about Edward R. Murrow and how he took on Senator McCartney over his communist witch-hunt. It was pretty good. I (obviously) wasn’t around then, but I thought they did a good job of portraying the struggle.
Well, I’m off to Sechelt tomorrow morning. I, somewhat spontaneously, decided to take a couple days over there visiting my friend Nancy. It is her birthday this week… So everyone say happy birthday Nancy!!!

Last night was the annual end-of-year IVCF BBQ and Talent Show. Below are some of the extraordinarily talented people I have had the good fortune of knowing for the last year!

mmm… bbq…

Steak anyone?

Ryan and his amazing thing-a-majig

How big was that fish Alex?

We walked through Finnerty Gardens on the way to Emmanuel Baptist last night for the IVCF end of year BBQ/Talent Show. The gardens are spectacular this time of year!

Sorry, I got a little carried away there… but it is an exciting day! Exactly 2 months from yesterday will be convocation (yes, they make us wait forever!), but the last day of classes was today. No more sitting through endless hours of lectures wishing I either had a coffee, pillow, or was not there (okay, I did enjoy some of the classes), no more biking to class at 8am in the rain (yes, dispite what I like to believe, it does rain in Victoria sometimes), no more exams… well, three finals to go, but who is counting?
Yippee!

Countdown To Last Day of Classes
