"To romance you, shall I use the 'tu' or the 'vous' ? Or shall I just say 'you' like the English do?"

Finals = conquered.

Well, I mean, I have to give a French 211 final at 4:40 for Duvert, but other than that I'm finished.

Now, I just have to clean up the earthquake disaster are that is the apartment after this week.

Ready, Set, Finals.

Approaching finals week, well actually, I'm sort of already there as this is all that stands between me and winter break:

-English Research Paper (10-12 pages) on 'Moby-Dick'
-French Paper (9-10 pages) on 'Antigone' and Satre's 'Les jeux sont faits' ('The Chips Are Down') and how they can be read as WWII novels
-One more day of review sessions in Duvert's classes + 10 more hours of tutoring next week
-Proctoring Duvert's 211 and 213 finals
-Meeting with Dr. Toner about our tutorial Winter Quarter

In other news, received the PURF Grant of $1200 (to be used only for airfare) and booked my ticket for France yesterday. I will be in Miramas/Provence from March 13-30, 2009.

Excitement and anticipation abounds.

Now I just need to figure out what exactly I'm doing there.
