Surviving Midterms

Well I still have a ton of work after break- one midterm, one project, and three papers, but I think I can keep them under control. This semester is just going way faster than I want it to. It’s kinda making my head spin. Anyways I’m taking off to Maine for spring break next week with Jules. Not sure how much updating I’m going to do but thanks to my viewers who have helped me hit 200 hits.

Woo and Hoo

Coming to you live from my new laptop. Which I can actually take places because it has a battery that works… and the Sims plays at a speed which makes the game faster than real life. Gasp!

Anyways I have finished my midterms (AbPsy and Shakespeare) for today, I have therapy in a little while, so until then I’m just going to chill with my new compy!
Oh dear. I think I botched my Shakespeare midterm. We had 12 quotes out of which we had to identify and talk about the significance of 10 of them… I knew 8. So out of the four I didn’t know I chose the 2 I could most easily bullshit. I think it was a solid plan.

And I continue to regress..

Okay well I decided in the middle of midterm studying that I was sick of Shakespeare and trying to cram the themes of Richard II and Troilus and Cressida into my head… and decided to just… blast the Disney music and dance around.

This may have been brought on by the Disney Princess sims Aria and I made today. I got a pic, but it’s all wonky colored. I don’t know what went wrong. But in there are Snow White (as a goth), Cinderella, Belle, Ariel (who I think turned out the best. Got this bright red custom hair that works so well), Jasmine, Mulan, and Esmerelda because Esmerelda is just awesome.

And I got to see El tonight, which yay. Always a yay. But feeling very emotionally whirlwindy. Shakespeare beckons… damn.

The weekend usually evanesces, life does, stuff does…

Today was actually a Saturday that felt like a saturday. Woke up, went to the gym, put in my auditions for BBTL season 2, and started studying for my AbPsy midterm. There was also a portion of the day spent doing trunk room cleanout. It wasn’t much, unlike last year where we were hauling stuff down from the attic to the basement, talk about back pain. Then Aria and I watched some Angel and Buffy.

Seeing people’s discarded stuff is really weird. I mean aside from suitcases full of someone’s underwear, a discarded ATM card that expired 11 years ago, and posters, silverware, TVs and computers… you see little things of people. A senior found photos someone had taken of her during her freshman year. The thing that resonated most with me was a broken board. It was old, starting to mold, but what I noticed was it was dated- 12/13/05 “The day I broke my first board”.

Obviously whoever this board breaker was took Kung Fu, like I did last semester. I remember that feeling, breaking a board for the first time with the sheer energy of you. That day from last semester really stands out in my mind.

I’d spent the entire morning with El. We had breakfast together, and then went over to her place and she worked on her logic final. Then we had the last kung fu class meet up. We did our cheesy skit based on 1950s PSAs about defending yoruself with kung fu. But then there was the board breaking. El was the first one to go and she hesitated, unsure of herself, and sure enough the board didn’t break. She took a break, some other people went, myself included, and then she went again and she and I both learned that as long as you are sure you will break the board, you will… then we went to Starbucks and went back to my place to work/chill.

That was just a great day. Maybe one of the best of my life. I hope I get another day like it again… but then again… everything seems to just fade away.

That was no big…

I had myself completely psyched out about this online quiz I had for AbPsy, I felt like I hadn’t read the book in enough depth to take any kind of quiz on it. But I had to get it done… so I logged on to take the test… it was three questions, to be graded check, check minus, or check plus… and now I feel incredibly dumb.

Did you know that Type A personalities are more likely to develop heart disease? True fact.

Anyways Midterms next week so I guess that means this is a study weekend. Plus I’ll have papers to plan and Hamlet to read over break… unless I read it now. I don’t know. *headdesk*
