A relaxing weekend, finally

I'm grateful for this weekend, as I feel like I've finally been able to recharge a bit. I didn't have class on Friday, so I alternated working on a paper with reading, and then watched the last episode of Battlestar Galactica...it wasn't the killing spree Brian expected, but I have mixed feelings about the actual end. It seemed kind of rushed and not well thought-out, and had a lot of holes in it.

Saturday I cleaned my apartment, and then went with Brian to Olive Garden (he had a gift certificate left over from Christmas), and then to the new Durham Performing Arts Center to see Fiddler on the Roof, with Topol as Tevye (the guy that played him in the movie, and has since done so on stage more than 2,500 times!! He was really funny, and kind of like an Israeli Sean Connery). Even though we were in the next-to-last row (literally), I really enjoyed it, and want to go back next year to see Wicked.

Today I slept in (till 11! This is the latest I've slept in in at least a year, not counting that week in January that I was sick and slept nearly constantly), made cookies, and watched the new show Brian's got me hooked on, Jericho--which has been off the air for a few years but is new to me, anyway. Thankfully there were only 2 seasons, so I can't get TOO hooked on it, but it's about a nuclear holocaust, and as such is a bit freaky.

This week I have to go the Health Access Interdisplinary Case Conference, with a bunch of med/pharmacy/public health/nursing students, which sounds interesting but is from 6-9:30, after we have class till 5, so will probably just be painful. I'm also interviewing for my new internship on Thursday, which I'm nervous about, even though I'm sure it will go fine. I also think i'm getting sick, which is just obnoxious. I also have to start thinking about writing my 4 final papers (one per class), as I don't want them all to sneak up on me at once. Only 6 weeks left of class, thank goodness. I'm more than ready for it to be over. I also just found out my dad is having neck surgery next week, which I'm nervous about, plus my niece is really sick, and has blisters in her throat from running a high fever for days. Needless to say I have more on my mind than school....

Weeks left at JFS: 4.
Weeks left of school: 6
