Quick update for the past week:

I think I managed an A on my latest Property midterm. I tried to follow the new study schedule Kristine and I made, and the day before the test, when I hit the block marked "Find Study Groups," I went and found one that was just beginning to study Property for about four hours. I soaked up all I could from them, then went to meet my study group and taught them everything I'd just learned. The next day I was brilliant (statement subject to the midterm results that should be delivered tomorrow).

Kristine and I went to the semiannual "Stump the Professor" activity at the law school on Thursday. The professors who had the guts, split into two teams and took any questions, on any random subject, that the students could come up with. Kristine and I had some great ones on music and logical reasoning that we were hoping would slow them down, but there apparently wasn't time to read every question that got submitted. :-P

I quit volunteering at UVRMC on Fridays. I kept getting to the weekend with too much catching up to do, and I was starting to send out e-mails in the middle of the week asking the other interpreters if they wanted to substitute. Then the supervisor at the hospital said I wasn't allowed to email the other interpreters (a policy that is confusing and unrealistic on several levels (each)), and it was suddenly too hard. I wish I could keep doing it; besides loving the experience, I feel like I don't do a lot for other people right now. I am somewhat comforted by Kristine's quote from a general authority's address to college students, that the best service I can do for the world right now is to get an education. But I can't help thinking that at my age, I should be trying to serve by using that education at this point, rather than just getting more.

Just when I was beginning to wonder what was up, I got an email from Chile asking me to prepare an invoice for my translation and email it to the university! Awesome! One more translation project...
