Life feels normal. I feel older.
Finals have begun. I went to my French Oral this morning and everything was going fine...until I couldn't remember the word for "to know" and my professor said to me:"Valerie don't you think you should know this word since your exam is in two hours." I freaked out in my head but responded calmly: "I thought it was tomorrow, I must've read the syllabus wrong. I know the other class has their exam on Monday, could I take it then?" She agreed thank God. If I would've had to have taken it today I most definitely would've failed.
Another year is coming to a close. All I need to do is complete these Finals and then I can enjoy summer. I am either going to be working for Mellow Mushroom or a Meditterranean Cafe downtown as a waitress. I'm excited to be making some money. Money is so hard to keep.
Last weekend I went to my first wedding. It was right on the beach in a gazebo. Very romantic and a beautiful background. Afterwards they had a really nice reception with a huge pig roast. That makes me understand why people don't eat meat; when you can see an entire animal carcass on display. Ryan and I had such a good time and the hotel was really nice; went in the hott tub, walked on the beach. The weather wasn't very nice the next day which was disappointing. But we went and explored some stores instead. We went to this Indian Carving store/Juice Bar and the guy who owned it was this old hippie named Sun Bear. There was this awesome turtle shell bag and I wanted it, but it was almost $100. We went to a shell store and this eclectic store called The Joint. I bought this colorful clay ring for a dollar, I was excited. We ate at this Italian restaurant for lunch and the people reminded me of the Sopranos, the food was quite good.
Home on the 11th. I better do well on these exams, I need to study my ass off if I want to do well. My exams include: French, Mass Comm., Computer(CIS), Media Writing, and Poetry. I will not let these finals mess up the good grades I've gotten the rest of the semester. But I'm so burnt out on school and it's hard to get the motivation to get it all done. I usually pull the motivation from somewhere, so I'll be fine, I just hate the stress. I need to stop eating, that seems to be my favorite activity these days.
A professor at my college was found dead in his office today. He was a really good teacher I hear, and I know he was really involved in campus life. Also, he was still relatively young. Very, very sad. They're holding a Mass tonight at 5. I never had him for a professor so I don't feel like it's right to go. So scary how people can just not be there anymore.
Study.Sutdy.Study.Study.Study.Study.Study. This will be my life till next Tuesday.
