is that your final answer?

December 11, 2008 · 1 Comment

I have my second to last final today.  I can’t wait for this semester to be over, since it has been my toughest since returning to school .  I’m exhausted from sleeping too little in order to study for these finals.  I had three of them on Tuesday!

I’m sitting on campus (freezing to death!) reading many chapters in my Classical Mythology book to get ready for my test in two and a half hours.  I decided not long ago that after this test I’m going straight to the ‘Cash for Books’ table in the breezeway by the library and selling this book.  It’s not that I don’t like the book; it’s actually very well written and relatively entertaining (every story somehow relates back to sex and it even mentions Freud – I think the author may be a sex fiend), I just really need some cash right now.  Stupid holidays and not being able to pay my bills on time when I got robbed.

Speaking of that robbery, I get to meet with the prosecutor again next Wednesday to go over the case again and listen to my 911 call.  I really don’t want to do that.  I can relive that night well enough just by thinking about it.  I don’t need recorded evidence to bring any of it back.  Plus, really, I get emotional enough when I hear random 911 calls on all the cop shows and forensic investigator shows I watch.  What will I do when it’s my own voice I hear on the other end of the line?  Probably freak right out.  Maybe I can get some Valium or Xanax from the doctor.  She’ll understand, right?  Right??

Oh well, enough procrastinating.  I have lots more chapters to read and many slides to go over in the next couple hours.  One more final after this.  Finance on Monday night, which I’m not worried about at all since we get to use two pages of notes and I’m really good at shrinking slides and writing out entire problems so tiny that I can hardly read them.

Wish me luck!

i forgot to remember to forget

Oops.  Forgot to post last night.  I went out and had a couple of beers after my finance test (I hope I did OK, it was harder than the last one) and since I was already tired I came home and fell asleep right away.

I’ll make it up with a second post later today.

still procrastinating

May 2, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Well, here it is.  It’s finally Friday.  The day I have been looking forward to for a long time.  My last final is in 6 hours and I haven’t studied for it AT ALL!

That’s right.  Remember the procrastination?  I’m at it again.  In full force.

Right now I am sitting in an area of campus that we call ‘The Cube’ with a bunch of my Fraternity brothers and not one of us is studying, even though we all have finals later on today.  We’re all good students, too, believe it or not.

OK, it’s time to start the studying.  If I don’t, I’m definitely going to fail.

Peace out!  :o )

this is the end

Wow. School ends on Friday. I’m so excited I can hardly take it!

But…there is much work to be done between now and then and definitely not enough time to do it all. Our I-Core project is due Tuesday by noon and we still don’t have the whole thing written, let alone put together and bound and stuff. I have to work on that at some point today. I also have to work out, shower, go to Target (Target = my favorite place) to get stuff and do my police ride along. That’s right. I have to do another one because nothing happened on the one I went on last week. Well, I shouldn’t lie. Stuff happened, but definitely not enough stuff to put in a three page paper about it. Because, that’s right, I have a three page paper due on my ride along(s) AND a three page writing assignment due for my criminal justice class on Monday. Too much stuff! But, after Wednesday things sloooooow doooown. I’m ready for it, too.

After Wednesday the month of May actually starts to get exciting! Well, two finals on Friday. That kinda sucks. But then! Fun! Starts!

Hopefully Friday night I will be traveling to South Bend to see my friend L to celebrate her birthday (4/28), my birthday (5/5) and her non-anniversary (also 5/5). Then, Saturday is probably dinner with the boyfriend and his family for my birthday, Sunday is dinner with my dad and his girlfriend (iPod Touch *please*), and Monday is MY BIRTHDAY!! I’m trying to decide if I want to get some friends together for an early dinner at my favorite Mexican restaurant in Broad Ripple before I do dinner or whatever with the boyfriend. Because, the birthday? Yup, Cinco de Mayo. I love how everyone celebrates my birthday with me. :o )

After that I have the Rose Dance for my Fraternity on the 10th, Associate Day at the Track (Indianapolis Motor Speedway) on the 16th (not a racing fan, but free food and autograph session = me. there.), my first Indianapolis Indians baseball game of the year also on the 16th, Maifest in Covington, KY (awesome German festival with good food and legal drinking in the streets. I wouldn’t miss it!) on the 17th, Cincinnati Reds game on the 18th and FLORIDA on the 19th-22nd. I’m a busy girl! But, after an entire year of working full-time and going to school full-time, I think I deserve it.

But now I guess it’s time to think about today. Get all my stuff done so I can get good grades and really enjoy the next couple weeks instead of worrying cuz I’ll have to retake all my classes!

I’m off to conquer the day!
