We do it real big..as we ride by the end of the night
So its the home stretch...and I definitely should be doing more constructive things rather than updating my livejournal. I have a paper due on Monday for Islam & The West which should be pretty hard..so I'll tackle that today and tomorrow, and then spend the rest of tomorrow revising for my History of London final on Monday morning..then the rest of the weekend/week will be spend hardcore studying for Finance which is my last final on Wednesday morning at 9. Our professor (DIRKA DIRKA) told us he'd take us all to the pub after our final..which is great since its at 11 in the morning. Hopefully our German-British boy Nitszche will come through and buy us pints. Our in many of our cases..double scotches to calm our nerves. That final's gonna be so damn hard. He gave us a review sheet, and told us to know everything on that like the back of our hand..which wouldnt be so bad if we were allowed a formula sheet and a graphing calculator. However, none of that is allowed. We have to memorize all these financial formulae (which i suppose is a good thing since I'm going to need them if I ever interview for a job) and we are only allowed a basic scientific calculator.
So I have 14 weeks of Finance to revise like it's my job. And thats going to suck like hell. But I guess I'll pull it together..
Got a few grades in recently..my last Islam and the West paper (which was pure unadulterated bullshit) produced an A- which I was very pleased with. However, my History of London essay, which was also pure unadulterated bullshit produced a B-, which I was very not pleased with. I guess I deserved it since I spent 2 hours on it and forgot to answer the second half of the question...I needed more space to write, not the 5 page limit. Oh well..I'll hopefully rape the exam. 24 questions, and we have to only answer 6 of them, so I'll study up on 8 topics and hopefully that should be that.
Final presentation yesterday in Org Comm, I think it went real well. Knew my shit, and answered pretty much every question which was thrown my way. Only downside was my hair..too fucking long and I didn't know what to do with it so I just threw some gel in it and scrunched it up. Yuck. But apart from that I think I looked the part and pulled it off well. So we'll see what I get as a final grade for my presentation. Still need to email my professor my powerpoint and everything. After class though was pretty chill...we all went to the Queen's Head for a few rounds..had a Maker's Mark and a Guinness Extra Cold, and then I came home and just chilled.
So today I should have been doing work, and I guess I should be right now...but..whatever. I've had a pretty relaxed day...woke up a bit early and talked to Sarah on the phone for a while, and then went back to sleep for a while, then woke up and figured out what I'm gonna get when I come home..I think I'm just gonna get the same digital camera since it's still on sale at BJ's, and then for my computer I'm just going to upgrade to the best Inspiron there is..17", dual core processor, 100GB HD, and all that good stuff..and since the insurance is going to pull through I'll add some goodies to it. Then I'll hook up the 60GB iPod so I can play with that and fix up my room to look amazing with my sounddock and new computer..put the old one in the basement, clean out my room, get a new desk, make everything minimalist so I can maximize the already small room I have. Summer looks really promising, for a multitude of reasons--girlfriend, beach, weather, work, overtime, gym, and many more..gotta get back into Tennis again, get some new books and read and everything.
I need to start packing really soon..I think I'll slowly throw things in the suitcase day by day, and then from Wednesday afternoon to Friday night I'll just be packing and throwing everything else I don't need away aka useless toiletries and everything...We have a bunch of glassware that we need to figure how to take home, as well as a Hookah and tobacco. I have 2 unopened bottles of booze which need to make the journey home so those need to be wrapped in sweatshirts and what not. Good old scotch and ouzo.
9 more days and I'll be outta here, and I'll be home by 3 PM next saturday..seems pretty sweet, to leave at noon and be home by 3, though its an 8 hour flight. Hopefully the weather will be good when I get home--the forecast for the 20th says its gonna be scattered showers and 75...hopefully the latter will be the only case. Then have a nice good meal of Mom's home cooking, and relax at night with Architha and the fam. Then get a fucking haircut on Sunday morning first thing since I haven't cut my hair in five and a half months. I've never had my hair this long, its really damn annoying. Then hopefully get to hang out with Sarah either Sunday or Monday afternoon after work.
Speaking of which..work should be interesting..I no longer have the same office mate I used to, so I don't know where I'll be..but oh well. Hopefully it'll work out well. 7-3, here I come!
Okay I guess I should do some work..but in reality I know nothings gonna happen.
Cheers
