Days 52 - 54 March 16th- 18th 2009 Rome, Italy

Strong concentration required these three days to hammer out 5 midterms. I actually like when midterms are packed closely together because then I can stay in a study mindset for those days then emerge victorious. If the exams are spaced out too much I tend to wander and not study as much. St. Patty’s day interrupted this study mindset on Tuesday shortly. A few Irish carbombs and then back to the notebooks. Wednesday night I packed up my super hiking backpack like Tetris level 35 to make sure I had all that I needed for my upcoming 4 country/ 5 city 11 day Spring Break travel-a-thon.
