| I know I'm a little bit late. In fact it is Tuesday night. but after the exam on Saturday, I just didn't have much left in my to update. And then in the evening there was a celebratory party. That was fun.
Sunday I woke up around noonish and went down stairs long enough to grab some ice cream out the fridge and have it for breakfast back up in bed. =) yes. that was nice.
then i didn't know what to do with myself so i went and stocked up on food for my office at trader joes, including my favorite stuff: Blood orange Italian Soda. YUM. like four liters yum.
then off to the the office. because how sad must my life be that i no longer know what to do with myself but go into the office every single day, for every unaccounted hour of my day, i spend it at the office. If i am not sleeping or showering, or commuting, I'm on campus either in a seminar, teaching undergrads, or studying. sad. pathetic. sad. but don't worry. i wasn't too productive. only minorly so. I had started reviewing my notes for the presentation i had to give monday.
and monday night i ended up staying a little late. I had to grade lots of papers, and so i needed to at least make a little dent. it was really just a little dent. Ahhhhhhh. it was so sinfully indulgent to be not pushing myself to work as hard as the last two months. I know I wasn't being totally efficent but I really didn't care. I had papers to grade. okay. no big deal. So i'll get a few done every night this week. It was like a vacation.
Then today i went to the gilloms in the morning, and when i walked through the door, i noticed on the kitchen table waiting for me was a WONDERFUL card the girls had made for me. (picture forthcoming). It was so sweet.
and now I'm in the office again. I'm supposed to make some more progress on thoes papers that i have to grade, but so far, all i have done is drink a liter of blood orange soda. and yum yum yum. I also find myself updating. hrm... procrastination? yes. am i upset that I am doing it? not as much as i might have any other time. but its a special week. It is the week right after my exam. and i don't find out how i did until next monday. yeepers jeepers. but i'll make it. I have blood orange soda with me. no prob.
besides, the exam went... well, it went.
it is over. (which is the single most important thing). well. okay, i guess i should say: it is over for now.
who knows? i might have to take it again. that would be not good.
but at least the worst case senario did not happen on Saturday (which would have been me showing up late because i over slept, or not being able to answer a single question from any of the sections). Turns out i had at least one question that i felt like i could attempt to answer.
(as a side note, let me just say that i will never doubt the virtues of being over-prepared, and will always and forever extoll the benifits of foregoing sleep, good health, proper nutrition for the sake of mentally and emotionally overdrawing, damn the overdraft fees, in order to be as prepared as possible).
so CROSS YOUR FINGERS AND YOUR TOES FOR ME my friends. I wait anxiously and nervously and with many liters of blood orange soda in the meantime to find out how i did.
hope i passed... everyone who is made to suffer by me because they are in my vicinity proabably also wishes desperately that i passed too... i'll be a horrible mess if i don't. who's going to clean that up?
