(no subject)
Last final tomorrow and then I'm done with my English BA degree. Of course it's an icky final in which we were given the questions before hand and then have to somehow magically memorize the answers in order to write two well thought out, organized, accurate and detailed essays involving a myriad of text from the 16th - 18th centuries. I re-read the specific texts I have selected, made a series of lists of important points to include (slowly wittling away until I have the bear essentials) but I'm still not confident that I'll be able to recall this information and be cohesive, comprehensive and cognizant enough for success. Obviously having the test at 8 in the morning doesn't help things. It's like the university wants you to fail so you'll have to repeat the class and give them more money for extra credits. (I know I'm not going to fail, but it would be nice to show something for all the planning that I've busted my ass on for the past four days.)
Ooooh, I think the worst part will be the inevitable hand cramp, given no one writes for three hours straight by hand anymore.
Other than that there isn't much of anything going on. Been working at RSO like a slave for $ for Xmas and such. I have no high hopes for any gifts from the family seeing as the economy sucks and none of them have been responsible with money ever. All I really wanted was a little help with money that I owe for housing, but I've saved enough that I can cover it and hopefully put it back with co-op money in time.
I want to be home as short a time as possible just so I can try to enjoy the only free time I'm going to have until July in Boston. Not sure what I could really do, but as long as I invest in some serious winter gear I'll be just fine. I have to see if there are tickets left for the show Joel McHale is doing on New Year's Eve, that would be something interesting to do.
And lastly, I wish there were more places close by that sold healthy food. I've been really good at eating much better than years past, but I'm running out of creative ideas. I also need to spend less time at home, because then all I do is eat to keep myself busy. (even if it's just grapes it's still not a good habit)
