This is it: finals week. I used my last meal swipe yesterday on a latte—I don't even like lattes, but they didn't have mocha left. It's hard to believe that this is it, that I'll be home on Wednesday and starting over not long after. I wish I had set some goals for myself this quarter. There's always next quarter, I guess.

I have my econ 501.02 exam tomorrow at 9:30 a.m.—that's too soon. I'm a horrible excuse for a studious college student; I haven't paid attention in that class since the midterm. I bring my laptop to class and get other work done, never once looking up to see what's going on. Now I'm going to pay, because there's no way I can learn all this material today. I'm having enough trouble trying to wrap my mind around how a multiplant monopolist operates.

On Wednesday I have my last final, my final final: CS&E 200. This one is going to be bad, too, and largely for the same reasons. (I really am an awful student.) I know nothing about Microsoft Access, and I'm going to have to learn what RDI is by then and learn when I need to set up multiple queries to execute a megaquery.

I'm not planning on sleeping tonight. I'm going to be hoarding energy drinks and force-feeding myself econ. And then I won't be able to sleep the next night because I'll be shoving CS&E down my throat for my afternoon exam on Wednesday. This is going to be bad.

The receipt from my last swipe. I was inspired by proof of purchase to make it more special than it really should be.
