I should be doing one of any number of things right now. I sort of finished a rough draft for my senior paper on Tuesday, and since then I've been completely unmotivated to do any editing of that draft or studying for my three finals.

Tuesday evening was the Rhodes Singers big concert Christmas at St. Mary's. That one's always nerve-wracking because it's the one most-advertised, very heavily attended, and we record it to go onto a CD that's sold at the bookstore over the next year. Luckily it went very well. We have one more concert early Sunday evening, and that'll be it for Singers.

Yesterday was the last day of classes. I went to German in the morning, which was fun because we just read our poems that we wrote a week or so ago and had German pastry treats. Just after that I was blindsided by a monstrous headache, so I slept through my last Ancient Philosophy class. Whatever. I'm gonna probably get a low B in that class, and I don't give two shits about it. That final's either Monday or Wednesday afternoon, and I suppose I'll get together with some people before then to study.

German final's tomorrow afternoon. Not too worried about it. Guess I'll study some tonight and some tomorrow morning. My last two things are my Medieval Latin take-home final due in by Wednesday and the final draft of my paper due at the same time. I guess I'll be getting my rough draft with comments back from my adviser in about 20 minutes when our Latin class has one last meeting to get through some Geoffry of Monmouth before the final.

I can't believe how unmotivated I am. When I finished that rough draft Tuesday afternoon, I sort of rushed through my analysis and conclusion, and I didn't even read over the whole thing in one sitting before printing it out. So it's probably absolute shit. I had a mind to immediately start editing it that night but after the choir performance I was drained. And then yesterday I did jack shit as well. So now I'm at the point where I just need to get my comments back from my adviser and go from there.

Ugh. Again. What. ever. A week from today this will all be over with and I will only have 3 more courses until graduation.

In other not-so-surprising news, I still miss Italia. And it doesn't help that I've been emailing back and forth with a guy going to the Centro next semester, answering his questions and giving suggestions. I was so nostaglic the other day I actually listed off to him all of our favorite hang-out spots in Rome from last semester and where he could find them. I don't know if living vicariously through him next semester will help or simply make the problem worse. Probably the latter.

Okay, time to go attend my very last Latin class of my undergraduate career..

Motherfucker.. What a weird thing to say.
