exams& boy
my next 32 hours:
MU309 (Music of South Asia) ---exempt (!)
*GO362 (Politics of Congress) exam: tuesday 9-12
NS101 (Intro do Neuroscience) exam: tuesday 6-9
*FX102 (arabic II) exam: wed 9-12
*death. major death.
gov exam in 5hrs. started studying... a little while ago.
that fucking lab report took me all weekend. I had this whole study schedule made up and didn't get to follow any of it because of that asshole fucking lab report.
the thing ended up being 21pages long (including tables, figures, appendices& references).
the point is, I spent my entire "study week" (READ thursday friday+weekend b.c administration hates us& only gives us 2days) on this lab report. it ended up being 3days late, which means 15points off, which means the HIGHEST grade I could get would be an 85. but echo's a hardass& won't give me that. goddamn.
anyways, because I handed in both of my gov papers almost a week late, they each got knocked down from 90s to 80s.
even so, if I can pull off a perfect score in 5hrs, I can still swing a 90 in the class.
that means that I have 5hrs to learn EVERYTHING EVER about congress (revel in the melodrama)
fuck this semester man. fuck it.
although,
there's this boy.
his name is max.
we get along really well.
he's a religious studies major &is jewish (I know-- irish catholic mother, jewish father, one younger sibling in highschool).
he does lots of theater& skidTV things.
works in media services (means he's good with computer technology things).
he does a sitcom with 3other guys& it's the most popular one on campus because it's actually funny.
his sense of humor is fantastic& he makes star trek jokes for me.
he's quite intelligent& good with the conversation thing.
I have thus far been completely unable to find anyone to say anything negative about him.
he too takes arabic& is going abroad all year next year (Morocco+ India)
he's pretty adorable.
quick anecdote: sunday we went to our friend's show. afterwards the 3of us were hanging out, talking about glasses& how I used to constantly break mine. he proceeds to lose one of the screws from his frames& pop the lens out. though we recovered the lens, we were unable to relocate the screw.
he tried to tape them together (unsuccessfully), so I went to get my sewing kit& "sewed" his glasses back together.
it was pretty great.
he makes me really really happy.
on another note,
I was supposed to come home this friday but am staying til next wed b.c my friend Mugi sponsored me to be on campus for senior week.
padre was not particularly pleased, but agreed to come 5days later.
this sucks for 3reasons:
1. liz& catherine's birthdays were yesterday
2. guilt-tripping for missing mother's day will surely come
3. must start seeking gainful employment in& around my house
this is awesome for 4reasons:
1. get to chill here with no schoolwork for a few days. it'll be like summer camp (meghan, james, ashley, jenna, peter, josh& max will all be here).
2. get used to the fact that I will not see this campus again for 16months
3. work in the MALS office and get paid
4. max is staying to do filming& editing.
no more livejournal.
on to bigger& better things including but not limited to:
The Rise of Southern Republicans
Fight Club Politics
Congressional Elections
Congressional Procedures& the Policy Process
