peppermint tea and grass
The end of this gone-to-crap semester is imminent. All that separates me from glorious summer is a Russian oral exam (today), one essay (easy), and my Russian final (eh). Yesterday at the lovely time of 8 am, I took my Physical Anthropology final. I will not be surprised in the least if I failed it, even though I don't see how I could have been more prepared. Our TA (who wrote the exam) told us to study "big concept" things. I did that, and I also went into studying details - not too in depth, because I have a life, but I felt prepared. Her "big picture" exam, however, was 200 questions of details I didn't even have in my notes or study guides. Upon exiting that auditorium of hell in which I took the exam, I promptly called my mommy and cried, of course.
What's been new? Concerts! I saw Andrew Bird for the second time a few weeks ago, which was lovely, of course. "Natural Disaster" was wonderful, I was so happy that he played it. And last week I saw a free concert with The New Pornographers, who I've been wanting to see for the longest time. They played every single song I wanted them to play, including Bleeding Heart Show, which was just as amazing live as I had always imagined it.
Last night I was walking home and was overcome with an overwhelming urge to lay in the grass and stare at the sky. Alas, the ground was wet, an every bench I came across was also splattered with rain. Maybe today will bring better luck, although last night the weather was perfect for laying in the grass - cool, breezy, blue skies.
I've been listening to Iron & Wine and Andrew Bird like it's no one's business, and drinking peppermint tea constantly. I've also embarked on the long journey of rewatching all the seasons of Lost, and so far have completed season one. Aside from all of that, my life is as boring as always. Will surely update when something undeniably exciting happens.
