I hate how exams just suck the life out of you. Normally I'm a pretty cheery person. But I'm actually starting to get a little depressed. I don't look foward to anything when I wake up. Because all I have is to study. And if I don't study then I feel guilty becuase I'm not putting my all into it.
My next exam is next Friday. Thats a whole week. A whole week to study and make myself even more miserable. The exam is the sociology of youth. And it involves essay questions. Its definatly going to be my hardest exam by far. Sometimes I wish that all I had to worry about was being able to do math problems. Not have to memorize everything that the prof says and then spit it back out. Stats was good becuase it wasn't so much memorization as knowing the formulas and how they worked. But this. This is mind numbing at its best.
On top of everything else, Andrew-the-boyfriend has more or less become Andrew-the-study-partner. If I want to see him then I have to offer to go and study with him. Which isn't bad or anything. Its just thats the only time I've seen him. And its good that he studies hard and so on. But the problem is that he gets so focused. The studying is like a game to him. And all he can to is talk about it - sometimes he can't even wait to go to the library. Its sick. I know. But its getting frusterating. Becuase when Andrew gets focused, everything else seems to disappear. Like me. I've seen him everyday, but thats from sitting across a stack books and notes in the library. And he doesn't even try to understand my situation. He doesn't get how I can't sit in the library for 8 hours studying. Because I'm essentially memorizing - not doing calculations. Its looking at the same material over and over again. And thats why I can only last 5 hours max. And I tell him this - and what does he say? "That sucks. I love doing this stuff". Yeah. You love it a bit too much baby.
Today is a no library day. Maybe later on tonight I'll go to the UCC. But I have to start typing out my Sociology notes. I want to get those done by Monday. Which is going to be tight. But I guess the good part is that I don't have to stress about any other exams. I can just focus on Sociology and hope for the best.
Seriously. I just want to go home.
Recap:
- Exams blow
- Memorizing blows
- Andrew blows
- Sociology blows
- Theres no place like home theres no place like home theres no place like home
