I'M DONE WITH FINALS YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. FEELS SO GOOD. HALLELUJAH, AMEN.

I'm really running low on motivation right now ... I just want to be done with finals and done with packing and done with saying all these million goodbyes. I just ate about a quarter pound of fudge, ugh. Really wish I hadn't. I'm afraid I'm going to get fat when I go home ... so much good food, so little motivation to work out. I want to keep ( Read more... )

I just stumbled across a collection of Uncle Peter's sermons that nana gave me a while ago ... and man, they're good. I'll never get over how truly disappointed Nana is that Peter became a minister -- "Where did I go wrong as a good Atheist mother?" she once told me, half jokingly, half serious I think. The more I learn about the natural sciences ( Read more... )

Listening to Dave Matthew's "Christmas Song" right now ... it always makes me feel so calm. I studied for 8 hours at the library today, and by the end I was so exhausted I just came back and listened to christmas music for a while. Then I did my physics homework (LAST ONE of the semester!) and went over to talk to Jenna and Erin, who were also ( Read more... )

I feel like everything is moving so fast, days just rush by in an unstoppable roar, good, bad, and crazy all together. Everything just flows through me, and I can direct some of where it goes, channel it, but really, my life is a chaotic, swirling mass of bubbles and eddies and short-lived whirlpools that I can't predict or really understand. It' ( Read more... )

It seems that, as it gets closer and closer to finals, the days go faster and faster, like when you're rolling down a hill and everything starts to blurr together. I had my Geology 119 lab practical exam yesterday, and I think I did ok, except for a couple tricky little rock samples (couldn't tell for sure if they were travertine or calcarenite or ( Read more... )

Ok, I know I've got a lot to do, so I'm stressed out mentally, and we had a 30' test at crew practice this morning, so my body is a little stressed out too ... but seriously, I HAD MY PERIOD LAST WEEK, WHAT IS THE DEAL? Hoping this is just a little spotting, not the real thing. I suppose I'd rather be worried about having my period TOO much, ( Read more... )

Ok, back on campus, and it's time to get to WORK. Last night was actually really fun -- Nana and Grampa and I went out to dinner at the Playhouse Club, and we chatted about New Zealand and my backpacking trip with David this past August and plays, etc. I got some steak tenderloin medallion-things, which were ok on the inside but tasted all burned ( Read more... )

I can't believe that I have only one week of classes and two weeks of exams left. I'd "known" this for a while but it really just hit me in the past couple days. I have an incredible amount of work to do before it's all over: four exams and a lab practical, a pile of homeworks, some tough crew workouts and a 2k test, not to mention all the ( Read more... )
