Breate In, Breathe Out
As far as finals this week went, I'm happy to report that the one class that I forgot to bring the slides for still turned out well with a 90. Will be finding out the grades in the morning for the other three finals. I must admit that I was completely caught off guard when I heard that for two classes I could bring in anything I wanted, even previous tests and my laptop (okay, so my laptop isn't that shocking when the book is online and you need to access it electronically). The slides mentioned were something the teacher printed out, and I had a feeling despite what the study guide said that the information on those slides would show up. Turns out I memorized just enough to get the right answers, but not enough to give good explanations. 90 was the max I was expecting because of this, and sure enough that's what I managed to achieve. I'm really hoping I scored the same or better on the rest, because there is the one class that I accidentally fell too far behind on and needed the final to salvage a C in the course. I know better, and now I know what to do from here on out.
Nagar: what can I say other than that I am impressed with the woman? The way we've been approaching things is showing me that it was a mistake to mention that I think she has a crush on me: whether or not she does is irrelevant, and not the right way to prove I'm content with friendship. This is especially true because while the circumstances aren't the same, the way things are happening are exactly the same between Caspian and myself, with the difference being the amount of personal interaction versus instant messaging and phone calls. Truthfully, I should be focused enough on where I am and if I am slipping off the way of discipline so that I can make sure I'm doing the right thing. This means even being honest and saying that yes, I have a crush on Nagar, but no, don't act on it, even in cryptic ways - this is neither the time or the place, unless the circumstances present themselves otherwise at some point and wisdom says it's the right time to take the opening. It also means that, if it won't ruin anything, do confess and be honest at the right time, and just accept the answer, and also make sure to clarify from the get-go so that I have the right impression about what she wants to do. Otherwise, just enjoy the opportunities God gives me, and be the best darn friend I can be for His glory.
Now to finish tidying up the room before the required checkout tomorrow morning. I won't be heading home until Sunday afternoon after church when the choir performs the cantata that we've been working on since September. From there it's a six-hour drive down to my stop for the night that I made after hearing for a while that there was going to be weather (and at the hour I'd be passing through it'd be dark, so better to get off than take a chance for now since I have that opportunity). I'll be back at home Monday afternoon provided there isn't crazy construction 55 miles north of town that backs up the traffic for that long.
