The Final Stretch

Well, family, I've been extremely busy, and the next week or so is going to be hectic. I'll be spending most of today working on my diplomatic history paper on Kissinger's visit to China. I've gotten done with most of my creative writing projects; we have five poems due on Thursday. I read one of them at our ward talent show last night. I couldn't really sleep last night, so I finally gave up around 4:30 in the morning and did some reading, including a chapter in my British history book on the religious turmoils during the 1500's. And we just got handed the final for my institute class. Just one more reminder that time is running out, but for some reason I can't think much past Monday when this paper is due.
