Finals

Hey All! I'm a day late and a dollar short. Actually, thanks to my student loans I'm way more than a dollar short. It must be a common problem because President Obama was in Iowa City today talking about it. I'm afraid I didn't go hear him speak. I hope he doesn't take it personally. It's just that I'm busy studying for finals, and I don't like large crowds of people. Several of my classmates went, though, and I'm sure they said "hi" to him for me.

Finals are here. I think finals are both exciting and anxiety inducing. They are exciting in the sense that I finally get to put all the pieces together from each class and see the big picture. They are anxiety inducing for obvious reasons. My first exam was yesterday, and I felt good about it. Of course, that doesn't mean anything thanks to the curve. I have two more exams and a 30-page paper to finish before I can fly off to Germany.

Speaking of Germany, my wonderful wife has been very busy with rehearsals lately. It sounds like things are going fine with the rehearsal process other than a few people getting sick. Brenda has also been rehearsing for a party (a birthday party, I believe) in honor of the former mayor of Frankfurt. I think that's a few weeks off. In fact, it may not happen until I'm in Germany. Maybe Obama will be there. I could apologize for missing his speech. Come to think of it, I'm not invited to the former mayor's party. The President and I just can't get our schedules to line up.

Well, I should probably get ready for bed. I'm looking forward to a night filled with dreams about Civil Procedure. I hope you all have a great week, and I'll talk to you next Tuesday!
