Post 62: On the Road to Grandmother's House

So, late last night 2/3 of the Step-Babbler family, my mother, and I all headed out to cross the border into the States on the way to Grandmother's house.We got in pretty late, but not as late as I usually stay up. Right now I am writing this on my phone as we are on the road again.

We have four people, a dog, and lots of suitcases all crammed into the car. It isn't a lot of room, but it isn't that bad. It is still more room than you are given on an airplane. Unless you are in first-class. 

By the way, has anyone ever seen the new first-class rooms that some airline has developed? They have a door that closes and a little bed and a tv. It is practically like a mini-hotel room. It has to be a really long flight for it and an expensive ticket, but it still looks pretty awesome. 

Anyway, here we are rolling along on the way to Grandmother's house. And if you are, at this point, conjuring up the image of a short, elderly woman, heavy set with white hair and an apron on, clear that image out of your head this instant! 

That is not what my grandmother looks like, or is like. She isn't much a fan of cooking, but she has recently gotten into blogging (it's a family thing now). She doesn't have white hair, she isn't heavy set, and she is probably about 5'10. She also goes on walks and hikes fairly regularly. So, take that stereotypes! 

We are heading down for the Easter weekend. Since I am between finals and everyone else is on vacation. 

Forecast says, it will be a lot of fun! I will get to see my grandma, grandpa, aunt, uncle, and cousins. And I will also get a chance to study on a nice outdoor swing in the sun, as opposed to my room in the basement listening to rain hit my window. 

I still have one final left. I already did three, though. They were quite literally back to back. (12pm -3pm, 3:30pm -6:30pm, then 8:30am -11:30am the very next day). But I am feeling good about them, a little nervous, but good. I also got my term paper back, A-. Which I am pretty happy about. So, the only thing that didn't feel good at the end of all that was my hand. I wrote like 5 short answer (1 paragraph), 4 medium length (2 -3 paragraph), and 4 long essays (4+ paragraphs) in two days. My hand started to cramp like crazy. Writing the last essay was actually painful.

But my last final doesn't have any essay questions. Just a few short answer and multiple choice. It is also not cumulative so it is only on 4 chapters and I have a lot of time to study. So, if I take a chapter a day I will still have time to have a few review days. 

We are still like 4 hours away as I write this, and we are going to stop for lunch at some point so this will probably be posted like 6 hours after I've finished writing it, because I don't have internet at the moment. 

Going to end it here, with a Happy Easter wishes! And good luck to anyone else in finals weeks.
