Tidmerms

The Mom-requested midterm update: My head is spinning a bit because of the volume of history I have just spewed out. It was crazy, I just kept babbling on. Hopefully the "babbling" passes for structure, and I didn't betray my ignorance by spelling things wrong. Misspelling Russian names is excusable -- though I did add a dash of authentic Slavic flavour by insisting on spelling Peter "Piotr" and Alexander "Aleksandr". This may be incorrect, but don't tell me it's less fun than Pete and Al. History exam was not too shabby, I think, and the econ seemed to go well, too. No entertaining stories to tell about that one. Hey, it's the Dismal Science, what do you want? Time will tell about the marks for those, though I do feel relatively confident. Now only the really scary one remains: the Science of the Possible, a.k.a poli-sci.
The real excitement in my day, though, is the West Wing premiere, in just five short hours! Will President Bartlet create peace in our time? Will Josh and Donna just get married already? Will Leo relapse into alcoholism, now that John "Helicopter" Wells is in charge? The tension grows!

Darn - West Wing is tonight??? We have a concert to go to and will miss it. Perhaps you could give an update on WW - along with your exams? Love reading your commentary - keep it up! Love, A Judy

You were right--it was sweet. I wasn't crazy about the "Yassar Arafat" and Israeli situation shouting matches, though--too much reality. Poor Leo is looking old and tired. Uh oh. Do you think they are jumping the shark by bringing in big names--Jimmy Smits and Alan Alda?? Oh, and so glad to hear that tidmerms are going well. I'm thinking of you and the poli sci now. XOXO Mom
