But re your work load for the next few days . . . well, I hate to sound heartless. But it's only a warm-up for grad school, you know.
You are quite right. :D I really ought to stop whining, because usually I have papers to write and don't get much sleep for the last few weeks of school. But writing is more natural and something I get very wrapped up in -- regardless of the subject, I don't actually want sleep or food. Law, Japanese and Philosophy have had a great deal less writing, more discussion and a lot of memorization in the case of the first two.
The Japanese is more frustrating because I haven't had nearly the verbal practice I need. I know what I'm learning here is going to leak out like water through a collander; I've had enough experience with foreign languages to know when it's not going in - has less to do with the tests and more to do with the ability to bring the words to your lips.
