Well my test last week went well. As I have been explaining it: It was the best case scenario. I had talked with all three professors who were asking me questions. 2 of them were very specific in our discussions of what they might possibly ask. One was more abstract and general. Well, the two actually asked the questions we had previously discussed, and those were the ones I had specifically studied. So I answered those two on Thursday. Since we were given all 6 possible questions from the very start, I knew which question I wanted to keep till Friday so I could strategize for it Thursday night. Friday after the 5 of us were done with comps, we went out for lunch with a couple other classmates and de-comp-ressed ourselves over pizza and pasta (after comps we de-comp-ressed…hahaha ok.) Now, we wait another week or two before we find out if we passed the essay portion and take our oral exams.
So though I wanted to find a good adult watering hole over the weekend to relax…I couldn’t find anyone else to go with me really, so it ended up being a really slow and non-exciting weekend.
In fact most of this week hasn’t been too exciting. I got a renters rebate check from Minnesota (yes, it finally arrived, Susan), so I have enough money to survive for another month. I took part of it to the local Indian casino Tuesday night with a friend. My $40 was turned into $60! Woo hoo! So now I have extra money to spend at the Minnesota state fair, which started today. I got a couple of cheep tickets ($9 instead of $11) already at the store. So I’m looking forward to the fair!
