my head is above water ...

so i only have to finish my take home international security exam (1 x 2000 word response and 1 x 1000 word response) and then take my politics of the world economy class exam next wednesday night and then i will officially be 1/2 way through my masters degree. i am in good health and good spirits. i have been on a steady listening diet of wilco and jeff buckley (thanks to the coffee shop and jblackwood). i appreciate all the kind words, good thoughts, and loving prayers that have sustained me to this point! 5 days to go!
