So a few weeks ago I had a "whoa...this is not high school" moment.

I was taking a test in one of my classes, and there was about five minutes left. I was already finished with the exam, so I was just sitting there with it turned over.
I was waiting for the last few minutes to pass.

Yeah.

I was a dumb freshman because it never occurred to me that since I was finished, I could leave. It wasn't like there was a bell that was going to ring, or anything.

Looking around to make sure that no one saw me just sitting there (they didn't), I quickly turned my test in, gathered my things, and left.

While it's nice not to have to hang around, I know that, from now on, I'm going to have to suppress the urge to just rush through the test and get out of there.

Speaking of exams, my semester midterms are this Friday.
Um.
Yikes?

On another note, Friday night marked the beginning of the basketball season.
As you may or may not know, basketball (rivaled only by hockey) is the sport here at PC--which is fantastic for me because, I'm sorry to any football players out there, I am just NOT into football. At least in basketball, the whistle doesn't blow every time the ball moves.

So the school celebrated Midnight Madness on Friday, and I went. It was pretty cool. There was a big dance competition between the Board of Programmers (BOP), the Dance Company (not to be confused with the team, apparently), and the Board of Multicultural Student Affairs. BMSA won (though I have to say that my vote was for BOP), and there were a few other little events and competitions before the basketball teams finally presented themselves.

It was also pretty cool that a local radio station, WEEI FM, was there. They're a sports radio talk show, and they've recently added PC basketball to their list of teams they cover. So I guess that just goes to show how great the season is going to be!
