alright, so that took three years off my life, easy

Alright, more than spiders, more than death and other normal things I am so wickedly afraid of missing a final. Like, sleeping through it. You cannot believe my paranoia there.

WELL GUESS WHO DIDN'T SET HER ALARM RIGHT?

Luckily, my internal doom-dar work me up at 8:40 (my exam was at 8), and since we're given two hours for finals, I did not miss it. And I forced myself to basically stop hyperventilating and haul ass on my bike. I managed to get the programming exam done in under an hour anyway, and have a few minutes to study for history, because that exam was right after. Yeah, WAY TO SCHEDULE MY EXAMS ASSHOLE ADMINISTRATORS.

I think I did alright on both, possibly fantastic, despite. But god the adrenaline just wore off and I feel, well, shaky as hell. And my right hand fell asleep during the history exam from writing. I should probably look into that, as that hand keeps falling asleep on me. Please let's not have any diseases now, I need to graduate in a year or so.

Interesting side note:



The girl that sat next to me in history all year who I occasionally talked to totally came from my hometown. Hell, my high school. Year before me, she's got a kid and stuff, so she was a bit delayed in going to college. Small world. I thought her specific accent seemed familiar (yes, you can generally tell which part of Indiana some people are from, it's subtle, but it's there). So there was slightly awkward talk:

Girl: So who did you hang with?
Me: Nerds. Like, name an academic club and I was in it. To keep from being bored.
Girl: Oh, I used to skip class and go smoke behind the school.
Me: I would have written nasty things about you in my notebook.
Girl: And I probably would have thought you a stuck-up bitch and whispered things to my friends about you.
Me: We totally probably had lots of common friends.
Girl: Oh yeah. *laughs*

Mind you, this was said in a perfectly ironic and friendly tone. I love meeting people once they get over high school. Sometimes it takes a long time, but I'd imagine History Girl had to get over it a lot sooner than her peers. I mean, she has to drive halfway to B-town to drop off her daughter tomorrow so she can study for her last final. That's dedication. And she's an ME (mechanical engineer). Again, dedication. Considering my black hole of a high school, I freaking love hearing stuff like that.

Now I feel bad for complaining, like, ever. XD

I think it's time to eat before I pass out...

P.P.P.S. IRISH BAR MAKES IT ALL BETTER.

I WONDERED why I had a splitting headache this morning. I thought about calling you while I was on the way to work. Maybe I should have!

Someone once asked me if I was writing things about them in my notebook, it was so bizarre.

I’m glad you didn’t implode or anything. Have fun and good luck!

Oh god, I'm always terrified of missing my exams too. I set two, if not three alarms. <.< >.>

Glad to hear you think they went alright though! I feel for you, Cendri.
