This will be relatively short, but I haven’t blogged in a while and I need to get out of that before it becomes a habit. I have (somewhat) of an excuse, though — it’s finals week, which means I’ve been, um, doing everything but studying. Now, however, nine hours before the most important (and also last) exam I have, I simply don’t want to study any more.
So, a quick rundown of things over the past few days.
Positive: I went shopping Tuesday for the first time in what feels like ages. Online shopping is all well and good, but it’s nothing compared to the feeling of being waited on in a nice specialty store, no matter how pleasing the interface. Finals were stressing me out, so I went and bought something small to relax some. Oh, it was expensive, but who cares, I wanted to do something fun. And it’s not like I bought this or anything. (You really have to see it in the store to get this — it is like the approximate size of our Sun.)
Negative: The final I’m taking tomorrow is, in fact, a makeup exam. Why, you ask? Well… it would’ve been today, at the ungodly hour of seven thirty in the morning, but I kind of overslept.
I set four alarms on my Sidekick, but due to my sound profile not changing back over to loud until nine am every day, I didn’t hear a damn one. Fortunately I woke up in time to go and discuss it with my professor, who later emailed me (and, I find, five other students — a sizable chunk of the twenty person class) to allow me to make up the exam tomorrow. *checks clock* Uh… make that today.
So I guess it’s slightly positive, since I am going to be able to make it up, but trust me, “Oh fuck!” is not a phrase you want to be your first of the day. :/
I suppose I had better get back to studying — and packing.

Oh I am glad you can to the final exam tomorrow (I’d been a 100% incoherent if I was in your position talking to the professor). Just one more to go – hang in there
Looove the bag you bought!!!
