Birds!

I woke up about 2 1/2 hours before class today so that I could work on my report that was due at 5. On LMS, our lecturer said that he put our grades up for the midterm, but there wasn't actually a link there. He said that the range was 13-28 out of 30, so of course I was trying to prepare myself for getting the lowest grade. I also got an email back from Steve about the Christian conference and mission trip in Sydney and it looks like I'm probably going. :) I just have to work out the details with my parents. I worked on my report until I went to my biology lecture, then after that I went to the CIEE office to work until I finished it. I logged onto LMS and the grade link was now up. I got 21, which is above the mean grade and is 70%. That doesn't sound good until you realise that it's the Australian grading system and that is a Distinction, which is the equivalent to an A- is America! I was incredibly happy because I was not expecting that. The midterm is worth 10% of my grade and another 10% is the labs, which I have gotten all the points for so far! I was having a hard time being motivated to work on my report after working on it for two full days, so at 3 I decided that it was as good as I could make it and keep my sanity. I'm so sick of birds because of this report, but my field study this week is another bird lab and we'll be analysing the data in the labs until the end of the semester! I know it's bad and I'll probably get a horrible grade, but it is only 5% and I was at my wits end! I decided to just print it and turn it in.

When I got back, I decided to watch The Big Bang Theory! It is easily my favourite show and I could not contain my laughter! I'm so happy the new season started. :) At the end it had an ad for what was 'coming up next' from when it was on tv, so I decided to watch S*** My Dad Says. It was the pilot and it was funny at parts, but I didn't like the plot. I then remembered to respond to the student in the study abroad FYS, so I answered her questions. Next I watched the two episodes of Law & Order: SVU from the new season that I hadn't seen yet. I was then about to take a nap when my parents go on facebook chat, so I talked to them. We set up a time to skype on Sunday to talk about the Christian conference and mission trip.

I then laid down because I was tired and ended up taking a 2 1/2 hour nap. It was much needed after the hectic week I've had. Carrie also texted me during that time and we decided to go shopping tomorrow morning. The Aussie Rules Football League Grand Final is also tomorrow, which should be exciting.
