Today was pretty fuckin' dull. Although my official last day of classes was yesterday, I had to be up before 10am in order to be in time for my Caribbean Politics make-up class. Unfortunately, this took up two hours of my life and I didn't get back to my room until 12pm. I was ridiculously tired having not slept well the night before because all of a sudden its spring and a million god-damn degrees. On top of that I wasn't even able to get some rest during class due to the fuckin' classroom being the size of a walnut. Having the professor literally breathing on top of you while you're trying to sleep during their boring lecture is not the best way to get an 'A' in the class. Ugh. When that was over with, I proceeded to play Zelda: Windwaker for a gazillion hours. I should be studying for the masses of finals I have next week...BUT I still have so much time left to study for them - can't I do something unproductive and enjoyable for once without feeling so guilty about it?
Why was it so unusually hot today?
Besides all of that fun stuff, I've been my usual overly-contemplative self. I want to drink tonight...but I'm afraid I'll be the only one drinking...which is no fun indeed.
I've been keeping track on the whole Estonia-Russia war memorial spat. I personally think they should have kept the memorial in Tallinn, it's been there since 1944 without causing such harm or chaos as seen recently. Unlike other communist era monuments its purpose was to honor those soldiers who gave their life during WWII, not the ideology (this isn't implying that there aren't any). Changing it's location was bound to rectify problems. I wonder what will happen between these two bickering nations? The Kremlin asking for the Estonian government to resign and Putin pin-pointing Estonia's deed in his Victory Day speech doesn't really alleviate the situation. I don't know why I chose to write about this...maybe I'm biased?
So yeah. Back to Windwaker and being useless.
boredom,
