Just had my last Dragon Slayers tonight. I’m actually surprised. I did not think I would make a real friend here. Sure, I figured, okay, good friends to be made, friends who I will keep up with on facebook, and maybe chat with on skype every now and then. But I did not think I would make a real friend that I would pay money to come back and see personally.

I did not make one. I made several.

The people in my dorm are awesome and if I ever stop by their respective countries, I’ll drop in to see them and if they show up in America, I’ll hopefully have them stopping by to see me. But the best friends I have made here, apart from Kat who was in two of my classes and lives right next room, are the people I played D&D with at Dragon Slayers.

Ruth, Simon, Thomas, Alex, and Hugh were the first people I met at Dragon Slayers, and they welcomed me into their group when they were first starting a new adventure. They put up with my questions and lack of knowledge on the Pathfinder series, helped me, made me laugh, annoyed me, argued with me, debated with me, helped me. They became really good friends. And Adam, Antti, Marleen as well when they joined up. I don’t want to say good bye to them. But I just had to. And now I am very sad.

I don’t wanna go home but at the same time I really do. If I could just pick them all up and bring them back to the US with me, I’d be happy.

Sure, I’ll see them again. I know it. I’ll Skype with them, and play D&D with them over Skype, but it won’t be the same. I won’t get to go out with them to movies afterwards. I won’t get to spend Sundays with Hugh at some new town, exploring forests, or at waterparks, or visiting his aunt.

No more going to Ruth’s house and helping her with the horses, playing with her dogs, and having her white cat nap (and drool) on my lap.

No more planning to go out to a gay club with Adam, and teasing Simon and Alex with random pairings. Or debating the best thing to do for our barony with Thomas.

Yes, I am sad. I don’t want to say goodbye. I didn’t expect to gain such good friends and now that I must leave them, it makes me very sad :(

But I don’t regret it. I’ll never regret coming here and I’ll never regret making the friends I did. I just wish they weren’t so far away.

First exam done. It was not as bad as I thought, as usual.

It said no nothing except pencil and water and such, so I left everything back in my room only to find everyone had brought their stuff. So that means I had to go back and get my Dragon Slayers stuff.

The testing hall was something out of Harry Potter, like when they took their O.W.L.s but not as magical or as cool. And it was hot.

The questions were more specific than the professor had lead us (read: me) to believe so the two perfect answers I had written and studied and memorized before hand were virtually useless. I had to take them apart and piece them back together and still make them sound good. Which I did. I still got all my jokes, sources, and references in. I gave proof I did extra outside indepedent reading and even research, I stuck to the question, and in the end had four pages for each answer though I was writing until the last few minutes.

My wrist hurts very much.

All in all, a job well done. Now I must quickly eat something and rush off to my final Dragon Slayers.

Exam today. Important things to remember:

Final exam tomorrow and I am so not ready! I studied the only way I know how! Memorise, but that’s 7 pages, 4000 words for two questions to memorise and I don’t normally even need to study but sweet Jesus I wanna do good on these finals because I will NOT have a C anywhere on my degree and if I don’t do well on the exams it WILL be a C, not just one C, TWO Cs! And don’t tell me it’s okay to get a C. There are no Cs on my record! I will not have a C on my record! Top grade archaeologists do not get Cs! (being only slightly irrational) But how does one memorize so much and then spew it back out on a piece of paper over two hours!?

Panic mode: enabled

Just finished season 1 of BBC Sherlock. It is NOT EVEN funny how furious I am. Like, honest to god I am about to destroy something. ARG! WHY ARE SEASON FINALES ALWAYS LIKE THIS!? Now how will I concentrate on my studying that I was just taking a break from! >.<

On that note. James Moriarty is really creepy in this series. Like, I need holy water or ammonia to purify myself after just hearing him! O.O

I liked doing a time line for my Medieval Europe class. There was lots to put in with lots of stuff over lots of time. Doing one for late medieval and post medieval Ireland is boring. There is a bunch of relative to my exam stuff that happens all jumbled together then spreads out with a lot of space between and then more jumbled stuff, more space, more jumbled, until I can’t tell when the different parts of the Wars of the Three Kingdoms happened even though I made the time line really long. This is troublesome.

Today:

• eat something
• make time line of relevant Irish History
• memorize answers for DD&S exam
• watch Sherlock season 1 episode 3
• do laundry
• make more ice tea

not in this order
