How do you make S'mores without graham crackers!? Oh, I'll tell you....

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

And so these three finals remain: Bio, Psych & British Studies... the hardest of these is British Studies.

Actually, as far as Final Exams go, I only have Psychology and British Studies left. Saturday morning was the big Biology final. I've been studying for psych today, and I'm just not sure where to begin for British Studies. How do you study 2,000+ years of history?! 72 book chapters!? 28 lectures?! 28 seminars!? other required Shakespeare & Hogarth readings!? not to mention 28 lectures/seminars worth of notes and handouts!? I'm at a loss for how I should go about studying. Most people would say not to worry about it so much, but how can I just brush it off when it's 20% of my grade? (and let me remind you that British Studies is a 6-hour course... so the course grade counts twice!) yikes!

I'm trying not to get too worked up about finals because I really want to enjoy my last week in Britain. Thursday was our last day of classes... we had our graduation convocation and dinner Thursday evening. After all that we went out for a night on the town (Grantham).

This weekend was pretty chill. Last night there was a large bonfire for us, with s'mores and hot dogs. So..... I guess the United Kingdom doesn't believe in Graham Crackers. We couldn't find them at any of the grocery stores in town. We had to settle on something called a "digestive." That's right, a digestive. Sounds delicious doesn't it? A digestive is actually just a type of cookie or "biscuit" here. I don't think "digestives" would do well in the US. Whoever thought the name "digestives" would be a good marketing/advertising strategy must have been on some heavy antibiotics.... that's the only excuse I can think of. And wouldn't you think that a digestive would have added fiber or something? You know, something to make you digest your food quicker. They certainly have only 1 gram of fiber per serving, nothing special. These digestives baffle me! Oh, the British and their strange choice of foods!

Well, I should probably get back to studying for finals... I just uploaded pictures from Spain, Trolley Races, the Bonfire, Bike Race no.2, Grantham Pub Crawl, etc... check 'em out: http://community.webshots.com/user/ashleyhenke

Cheers! Have a pleasant week!
