On Finals
Today I powered through 37 lectures/ 33 chapters (something like that) of biology. Most of it in the 7 hour chunk between 3 and 11. I feel pretty solid. Hopefully that’ll last through Friday. Studying is always a little weird for me because I have an issue with staying in one place when I study; I tend to change my locale every 1-2 hours, so today has been an interesting sort of migration. Usually I don’t study for more than one or two hours at a time, so it’s not really a problem, but today I figured I should probably start studying for my final on Friday, and I ended up just getting a pretty good groove and going through all of my bio notes. Which, as it turns out, is a shit-ton of notes. So I went to the library, the study lounge, the regular lounge, my bed, Java City, and my floor. It was good.
I also had my Spanish oral today, and I’m pleased to say it was probably the easiest oral exam I have ever taken. My professor and another student and I basically just chatted for five minutes about our lives, and then it was done. Not too shabby. I’m hoping the written test proves to be just as easy.
On the whole the day was pretty long and rather dull. But Barnard hosted the midnight breakfast tonight, which was quite a party. A delicious party. Una fiesta deliciosa (see, I’m set for Spanish). Now I’m really full, and I probably won’t be going to bed for awhile, so I’m just going to appreciate my delicious fullness and sit around for the next hour or so.
The band also had their Orgo Night tonight in the library (since it’s the last night before finals), where they played some songs and had a pretty good… I dunno what you call it, “speech” I guess, where they basically bashed everyone. Especially Barnard. It was pretty good stuff. I was entertained, anyway. Afterward they came to the quad at Barnard and played some more, and everyone threw their notes out the windows and onto the lawn. It was actually pretty cool. It felt good to throw out my English stuff. Suck on that, Reinventing Literary History.
Well, I feel accomplished. Tomorrow I think I’ll just skim over my bio notes again, go to work (my last day before break!), go to the gym, and see Next to Normal! I think it’s going to be a good day.
Quizás escribiré mas para mi blog mañana también, pero no sé. Quiero escribir algo más interesante que “Lo que hice hoy.” Si tengo tiempo, lo haré. Trataré de despertarme más temprano mañana para que pueda hacer más, pero no he tenido mucho suerte con eso esta semana… Vamos a ver.
Five days til I’m home!
