So much studying to do. My astronomy professor prefaced his lecture with "I hope you all remember your trigonometry..." what? I never even took that much math. Bah. how unpleasant. I'm hoping I do okay on the test Friday. I need to study for my Czech quiz too. Much to do.

My day has felt unbearably long. This headache won't go away. But I did get an email from a friend of mine who is currently studying in Prague. She is already homesick and threatening to buy a sundress and a cowboy hat when she gets back this summer. This from a girl who cultivates her paleness and makes her own clothes. Heh. It would be funnier if you knew her. We watched A report on the party and the guests in my Prague class today. It's a big creepy allegory for Stalinist Communism, with some strange images. Weird and scary but interesting.

I just want to take a shower and curl up in bed.
