(no subject)
ack. i finished all of my exams today. it leaves me very deflated. i mean, it was fine at first - because everyone around me after this exam was crying (literally), and so i felt better in a relative sense. (especially since emily was throwing champagne around/at me.) and the guy behind me was like "so much for medical school". and the girl beside me said, "that's exactly what i was thinking". and i had to laugh a bit, at the ridiculousness of it(/us?) all. (i made no comment.)
so, emily and i dragged some people out to drink and play pool. which was fine.
you see, i have a new prof, who can't explain anything, doesn't 'believe' in bell curving, and seems to expect us to be geniuses. so, i kept being proud of myself during the exam: "wow katie! what a stroke of genius that you thought of that!"
but... then that kept happening.. and the whole exam was like that (i.e. puzzling, staring at the question, waiting for mathematical inspiration). and in the end, there was something that just didn't come in time for me on one of the questions.
and yet, i feel like that type of thing is my forte, and so i'm not as worried as i should be. maybe. oddly.
i know what you're all thinking (if you're still reading, that is): you should be soooooo happy that you're done!
i guess so. but it's that kind of thing where when you're done you walk home (because jos wasn't there when you stopped by) and it's bittersweet. and you don't really want to do anything but phone a few people to see if they'll invite you over for dinner. eh.
i know that i'm being silly. and that i'm just used to things going well for me school-wise and that's why i'm being a baby and it's probably fine.
and on that note - i have an announcement:
starting now, the month of december is the month of katie going out every night and not doing school with other non-schoolers. so - feel free to phone.
