I say...
It's been some time since I've updated...Dang, lol. But to my credit, I have an excuse that's better than "life got in the way", lol. This time I've actually been studying.
So, I had my JCTC exam today and it didn't suck as badly as I thought it might. We got two of the essay questions in advance, so I had pretty solid answers for them, and then I sat down at the exam today and saw the remaining two questions on the paper and was pretty comfortable with one of them. For the last question we had the option of doing another essay or chose five topics from a list and write an informative paragraph on each of them (guess which one I picked?) It went OK. I then went back to the second last question and realised that I might have hit a snag (it was all going too well)...There were two options again, but this time I didn't know much about either, lol, so it was kind of a shot in the dark. One of them was about King Herod, so I went with it and wrote a bit on him in the vague hope it answered the question, lol. But at least it's done.
Tuesday next week is my next exam and this time it's Philosophy. I have pretty much no confidence in this arena, lol, and I'm worried that I'm only going to be able to deal with one half of the paper. I mean, hell, even I thought the philosophy of art bit was a bludge, lol. I'm really worried about the reality section because I really have no clue. It's not as though I skipped out on the lectures and don't have the notes - I didn't miss a single lecture and went to all the tutorials, I just didn't get it, so trying to learn something for the first time for an exam just isn't feasible, you know? Anyways, I'm going to give it a shot and if I can only answer one half of the exam, then that's what'll happen. I've dropped Philosophy for next semester and replaced it with History, so whatever. I don't care about it anymore, lol. Not quite the attitude, but what can you do?
So, chicklings, tomorrow I face the day of my dotage. Yes, you heard (read, rather) correctly, tomorrow is my birthday and I will be twenty-two. And I'm not sure how that happened. I think I found myself in the same position last year, but I'll go there again - I'm not looking forward to it. I'm just one of those people who isn't into their birthday, you know? I don't like to think about getting older...Not aging, because that happens, but actually getting another step away. Or closer. Or whatever. Anyway, I'm just not into it. I am, however, into the idea of getting a new TV, lol. I've had the same TV for...Uh...ten years or something and it's definitely on its last legs. The two channels I watch most have lost their colour, the set no longer responds to its remote (however many times I beg or change the batteries) and has to be turned on and off from the powerpoint. Which is a bitch, especially when one is dozing off. So that'll be kind of nice. Damn, I feel old.
Anyhow, that's that for the mo' and I will catch up to you lovely people (hopefully) sometime soon xox
