Oddities, endings and beginnings.
Something really freaky happened to me yesterday. I haven't had a semester of finals that I actually didn't have a migraine in years, and of course this year has to be different for me. Normally when I tend to study I either am left with a headache or a migraine--the weird thing is that even though I studied for about five hours yesterday the only thing that was "wrong" with me when I was finished was that I was incredibly tired. I didn't have a headache, so that means I couldn't have had a migraine. I wasn't in a really bitchy mood or anything, in fact I felt really relaxed by the time I was finished. That's odd in itself because I tend to want nothing else than to just curl up in a comfortable chair and either doze or watch television. Amusingly enough to myself, I actually went from studying to working a bit on chapter six of A Quincy's Heart. I actually had time to start it yesterday, but I most likely won't be able to continue working on it until Sunday, then I would have to sporadically work on it at different times next week. It just depends on when I have time to do so.
Last night I was going through one of my drawers in my desk and I ended up pulling out several medicine bottles and laughing at the irony of it all. When I was done I ended up pulling out six bottles in all and I didn't need five of them. The one that I actually did need and could use was a simple bottle of ibuprofen compared to the incredibly addictive painkillers that I was on before for migraines. Because I don't even need to take them anymore I'm going to bring them home so that I can get rid of them in the right way. Its funny enough that I can actually stay away from a headache if I have enough caffeine early enough in the day. If I get that caffeine, it really is hard for me to develop a headache unless I'm actually rather stressed. Stress, tense muscles, pinched nerves, and irritation in general have been the only ways that really catapults me into a headache, which I'm eternally grateful for.
Damn, now that I think about it I only have one week of school left. It seems like there's a longer time than that, but when I actually look at the calendar then all of my class syllabuses, the real reality of it all actually comes to me. I actually don't have much homework this weekend, the only real thing I have to do is to finish my paper for my Literature 316 class, study for my French final, then study a bit for my Literature 362 class. Even with all of that, It won't take me that long to finish it. I also get to study for my finals next week, which will be the best way for me to do it. I'm definitely going to study this weekend as well, but to study the day or days before for a particular final will make it easier for me to remember things.
Thankfully I only have one more class when it comes to my English 300W class. At the beginning of the semester I was hoping that the professor that I have teaching the class wouldn't be that bad, but now that I'm at the end of the semester I can easily say that I detest the way that the class was taught, and to have had any other professor teaching it would be heaven to me. Unfortunately that didn't happen, I was stuck with the professor that I consider to be the bane of my existence this semester. Having this professor, I am reminded why I would never want to be that ditsy, disorganized and problematic for a class, even if personal problems were to come up. Personal problems do come up and they can't be stopped for the most part, but to basically stop everything and not picking up where you left off until weeks later is something that I can't forgive.
Hopefully I'll get my Macbeth paper back this weekend so I would know what I would have to revise or if I would have to revise my papers at all. I'm actually getting a good enough grade in that class at the moment, so I'm a bit iffy on whether or not to actually revise anything. When it comes to revising papers, for the most part mine tend to be significantly better than the draft before; but sometimes it doesn't make a huge difference when it comes to comparing them. I guess it will come down to me having enough time to sufficiently go over my papers then revise them without feeling rushed. If I end up feeling rushed some parts of whatever I write tend to be a bit out there or skewed off the true track that I wanted to take things, which usually irritates the hell out of me.
This spring has felt more like early summer so far. We've had so many incredibly nice days without rain and annoying cold that I'm wondering how the summer is going to be. If our spring is already so warm and nice, will our summer actually be a hot one this year? I actually hope so. I love it when its warm just because its easy enough for me to lie in the shade and doze or read a good book. Speaking of summer I need to get new pairs of shorts and short sleeved shirts. That and a nice pair of sandals too. They probably will be flats, but I could care less when it comes to that. I'm going to have a bit of fun when it comes to shopping this summer I think. I can actually have fun shopping now that I have a different view on it. Before I almost absolutely hated to shop, but now I can't seem to hate it like I did. Shopping can really be fun, it just depends on how you take it.
Ah look, its almost time for lunch. Hurrah for that!
