So, I'm more or less alive. I survived my feature length story paper and finals. Surprisingly, none of my finals were as hard as I feared they would be (I even got a free t-shirt in one class), but I did study so I guess it paid off. It was a drag having three finals that extended into the very end of finals week. It also didn't help that the ( Read more... )

I just got done with an exam in journalism research a little over an hour ago. Now I have to finish studying for my journalism history exam at 2:40. I started studying for this exam on Sunday night, but I didn't get any studying done yesterday. I spent all day at UPS working with a sore back to show for it. But our teacher told us that this exam is ( Read more... )

An exam and a query letter due tomorrow? If this is school barely a few weeks in I'm dreading mid-terms and finals week. I've only gotten to study a little bit for the history of journalism exam and I only have once sentence written for my query letter. Luckily we can work on the letters in class tomorrow before handing them in. I also have my ( Read more... )

Yesterday was a long day and I do mean long. After waking up at 6:30am I didn't get to bed until about 4am, just two and a half hours shy of being a awake for 24 hours. At the last minute I decided to stay at UPS to do a midnight double shift and that's where I spent most of my time. The supervisors were pretty laid back compared to twilight and ( Read more... )

Today's the last day of school for me. I'm still studying for my exam today at 10:45. I was tired after cooking and I fell asleep while trying to study last night. I'm a little worried about the test, but at the same time I've only missed one class and I did all of the reading. I should be okay, except for that class where I missed discussion ( Read more... )

I am content, just as I brought the May issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly my May issue of Game Informer came in the mail. I can't think of an instance of better timing, especially since the mail arrived before 10am today ( Read more... )

Spring break is finally here! I'm going to try to relax and enjoy myself to the fullest for the week. Although it doesn't help that I only have Monday off from work, but I'll make the best of it. After this week at school any break from classes is a good break. A three day weekend (shame it couldn't have been four) is always a plus. So how did ( Read more... )

I've finally finished another semester at the University. Once I get my grades back, I'll finally be a college senior. My time at Temple with half-time status will be at an foreseeable end ( Read more... )

Today was the last official day of classes. Finals are next week, but fortunately I only have one final to take. Given the nature of my classes this semester, that final is of course in journalism and the law. Luckily the final is worth the same amount of points as the previous two tests and isn't cumulative. There's also a study session on ( Read more... )

Making $14.57 an hour isn't all that impressive if you work less than three hours in a night. That was the case tonight at work. I was only willing to work for such a short amount of time, because I figured that I could use the extra rest. Though I did milk the clock a little by doing safety committee work. Even that didn't last long as I was ( Read more... )
