It's this time in the school year that just gets to me. I'm almost finished, but I just want to quit right now! I think it's especially hard because I'm driving by myself. I moved back on campus this semester, but I come home on weekends and sometimes have to come home during the week and then back up to school to finish up the week (mostly for the doctor or whatever). It all gets very tiring! I think I need some words of encouragement! Only..... 6 weeks left? After 6 weeks I'll be home-free in Alaska! I have, however, found some rather amusing things to keep me going. One of which is a book (a movie as well), North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell. 
I am addicted to anything related to England in the 1800's! Particularly it's love stories! Especially the stories where the girl gets swept off her feet by a handsome stranger after a couple of juicy fistfights and a terrible misunderstanding!! I first found the movie, loved it so much I just HAD to read the book! (I think it's funny that most of the books I read, I watch the movie version first.) But, ya! I'm also still reading Jane Eyre (I'm almost to the end). It's amazing, I think I'm turning into a book-liker! Who would have guessed!

I like watching the movies first...because then I picture the same characters when I'm reading. That way, I don't read first, get ideas, then get ticked off when the movie doesn't match what I envision!
6 weeks?! THAT'S IT?!! Wow...that will FLY!!! And then you'll be with us in ALASKA!! (Was that encouraging enough?!!) :-)
I know spring and the end of your school year can be rough. You do have to travel a lot which can really be tiresome. You'll make it through. Maybe the time will go be faster than you imagine. You have Alaska to look forward too. I am glad that you enjoy working there in the summertime. It looks amazingly gorgeous.
Love Boop
