I'm going to have to apologize in advance because I know this blog will be short. In my justification, I believe it was Shakespeare that said: “Brevity is the soul of wit." Finals are my excuse. I've never seen so many people in any library, anywhere. I'll speak for all of us here, it's been a week of hurdles, and we are all just racing to vacation when we can plan our day around sleep and not when Java City is open, and the best time to get a seat in the Lib. Some of my friends have turned completely nocturnal; sleeping during the day and staying up all night, studying until they take the exam the next morning, and then returning to their dorms to sleep. I can't say it's come down to that for me. Since I have a lot more time on my hands, due to a lack of classes and work (Hollister pitied me and gave me off for the week), I have been managing a healthy schedule. I've been managing to go to bed fairly early and then waking up a little earlier in order to get breakfast before my test. I've even been able to squeeze some gym time in to work off the stress. Don't get the wrong idea; every spare second I have is spent studying. And the finals themselves...well, it's a tossup. Some are what I expected (my microeconomics was exactly what I thought it would be = good) others are not ( math, which was assumed, by my class’s tutor, to be a 10-20 question test turned out to be about 50 questions = ahhhhhh!)
The light at the end of the tunnel is Christmas vacation. I can't wait to see my family and friends. On my list of things to do is 1. Sleep, and 2. Christmas shopping, two of my favorite things. We have about 6 weeks home. I know I'm going to miss everyone, and I'm going to be raring to go back come February, but right now it is such a relief.
Well my Public Speaking Final is calling my name. This didn't turn out as short as I thought it would be... probably since procrastination has made this blog my new favorite thing to do. Off to hit the books, I go!
Don't study too hard, Scranton!
