The last two days I have really focused on completing the rest of my homework. Not much stands between me and summer any more. But, it doesn't really feel like summer because I am not going to be home and this whole semester hasn't really felt like school. On top of that, besides the last two days, its been fairly cold although nothing compared to how Minnesota has been this spring or should I say extended winter. Yesterday, I started helping take care of Wade's dog: Nora, while he is in a wedding in Shoreview, Minnesota of all places. So close to my home. Nora is a huge black bear of a dog, being a Newfoundland. I get to feed her some mornings and take her out for walks. Big news I completed my big research paper on polo. All I have to do is read it one last time to polish any errors, but the proofing I finished tonight. I will perfect it tomorrow and then I want to turn it in a week early tomorrow night. Now, I just have to study for my history test and my biology test, write a journal about our last field trip on Friday, and write a short essay reflecting on my community service. The end is so close, but I don't really want the end to come. Its weird to think that most of the students are packing their bags to go home right now and I just passed the half way point of my trip. I cannot imagine going home yet. There is so much I need to see and do.
Tonight, Mike and I battled it out playing ping pong in the pottery room. I think we played at least ten games. We both lost count. I am not even sure who won more games. I think either I won or we tied. All the games were really intense and most times were very close in score. Its been a lot of fun having someone almost exactly at my skill level to play with. I think I just might be able to beat Grandpa Kalthoff now. I have never beat him. Not many of the grandchildren have. So, Grandpa its on!! :)
