flying over me
Okay, so I'm taking a tiny break from poli sci, which is pretty much my life right now, to write in here.
I've had two finals so far and they've both been fine. Canadian literature was actually pretty easy, but then again literature has always been my strong point. I'm annoyingly predictable like that. American history featured some surprisingly general essay questions, which probably saved me because my friend and I attempted to learn 150 years of history in about three hours last night, so we weren't too good on the specifics. Heh. Never doing that again. General question = bullshit central, my friends. I can bluff my way through an exam like no one's business.
Anyway. Tomorrow morning is poli sci, which will probably be rough and dirty. Heh, again. Right now I'm making charts of all the theorists we've read who disagree with each other, as it's a comparative exam. God knows if I'll actually get through the 60 page reading on multiculturalism. We'll see.
I was musing today about how much better I've been eating lately, and then I had the sudden craving for a chocolate chip cookie from the cafeteria, so I went to get one. I don't have willpower, okay? After I finished it I realized that I feel so much better after eating healthy food than I do after eating crap. I mean, junk may taste good going down, but once the sugar wears off, I'm going to crash and be tired and cranky. I should have had some fruit. At least I'm learning. I eat a lot of fruit these days - for some reason our caf loves watermelon, so I have some every morning. Yummy.
Anyway, this entry is pointless, I just really couldn't stand another six pages about group rights versus liberalism. Dear GOD, I want this to be over. I still have a week to go, though it's a week of free days until my final final (heh), philosophy next Thursday. I have to do some Christmas shopping.
Where is all the snow? It disappeared on me. It was so warm here today I walked around without my coat on.
I guess I really need to get back to reading. I can't afford to procrastinate anymore, or I will likely fail my exam. And this time I'm not just saying that.
