Worth the Candle

I had many worries about my Chinese exam, but they were quickly washed away after dinner when Katie and I played in the snow. Meet Herman, the cutest snowman on campus. As Katie sang to me, "With a BlowPop pipe and a sucker nose and buttons of chocolate chips...."
Next week starts real exams, I had my two Chinese ones this week, but I still have three more on Tuesday. I think I'm going to chill and be glad I don't have to work today or tomorrow. Tomorrow will probably be filled with getting study guides and notes organized for a weekend of hard core studying. I'm pretty worried about my international studies, but my Spanish and anthropology will just be reviewing notes and things.
Work is going well, it's actually really easy and gets kind of boring as it's not really the season for frozen yogurt. It's alright though, it's really fun getting to know the different people that I'm working with. This one guy had the opportunity to live in Alaska, continue racing sled dogs and work on a crab boat in the summer. Doesn't that sound ideal? He's raced his team of dogs in Kinross and Kalkaska. That is so cool to me. He was also impressed that I can check my oil, change a tire and drive in the snow...girls must be wimps down here!
I guess I don't really have that much to tell you, right now. I'm more in the reading mood than the writing mood. If you get a chance this holiday season I have two book recommendations. First, The Diplomat's Wife by Pam Jenoff. Second, Love Walked In by Marisa de los Santos. They are both excellent, fairly quick reads.
Buenos noches, mis amigos!
