I decided to stay at Hiram during the term break. I was taking care of Quince, a neighbor's leopard gecko.
A lot of my friends and neighbors also stayed over break, and we entertained ourselves with movie nights and macaroni parties -- one giant bowl with a few boxes of Kraft. We also put one friend's rice cooker to use quite a bit.
On Tuesday there was the annual Theatre Retreat. It was at Rick Hyde's house (the department director) since he lives just off campus. We had some wonderful chili, rice, salad, and dessert before discussing the past year. It was great to see some of the professors in an off-campus setting, having dinner with them.

Break!
These past two weeks have been insanely busy for me!
I had two presentations due -- one in FSem, the other for Biology Lab. Our group's presentation for Bio Lab went very well, it was fifteen minutes about nervous systems in all sorts of organisms. I focused on the nervous action of plants, while Phil and Colleen researched humans and animals.
I had a short paper to write for Biology Lecture about careers in biology due last Monday. This Saturday was the African Ensemble concert, which went very well. Our leader, Olu, actually led us in a completely ad-libbed rhythm at the end, catching us all by surprise!
Then all this last week I had a final paper due in British Literature (about identity issues in Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest), my final research paper to write for FSem, and an essay for my Education class. I also had an exit interview with the professor of the Education class, which went pretty well. Then on Thursday I had a short exam for FSem, followed by two exams for Brit. Lit. and Biology today. Both Brit. Lit. and Biology went better than I was expecting, I think.
After I finished with Biology, my last exam, I can't even begin to describe to you the relief I felt after finishing these last two weeks of the 12-week! I'm going to catch up on sleep over term break.
