Ethnocentric, Prejudice and Racist Values in the Rwandan Genocide

That's the title of the paper I finished today.  I loved every minute of writing that paper.  I know, I'm weird. The paper is for my Intercultural Communication class (one of my favorite classes of all time, along with my Editing class last semester), and I have to give a short presentation on it on Tuesday.  I watched the film Hotel Rwanda and spent a lot of time researching the cultural conflicts between the Hutu and Tutsi people in Rwanda.  Not quite an expert on the subject, but I'm getting there.

Tomorrow starts the last two weeks of school before finals.  Know what that means?  Paper and presentation due Tuesday.  Article and video project due next Tuesday.  Test next Wednesday.  Paper due next Tuesday (almost done with that one).  French oral exam next Wednesday.  And then a take home final and a regular final the following week.  I guess it's not too bad, but it will be a lot of work and a lot of studying.  I can't wait to be done with this semester.  It's been such a hard semester, but I'm so close to being done with school.

Part of it makes me nervous because it means I have to think about (drumroll, please)...my future.  The word all college students are afraid to speak.  Let's just stay in college forever.  That sounds better than having to worry about anything.

Oh, to be a college student...that actually enjoys papers.
