There I go again with my Spanish. I'm trying to use it more, especially since I will be taking it for the next two quarters! Sometimes I miss francais, mais j'aime espanol aussi parceque it's more useful...?
ANYWAY
Today is the start of my WINTER BREAKKK!!! I am so happy, these past few weeks have been awful. First I had that dreaded history paper that I swore I would work on during Thanksgiving weekend. OF COURSE THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. I ended up reading half of "Train to Pakistan" and stopped reading "Spider Eaters" four or five chapters from the end (I did skim the epilogue though) and stayed up till about 5 in the morning. The prompt called for 5 or 6 pages and I was already on the fifth page, but still hadn't tackled my second arguement. FAIL. So I woke up around 9ish and tried to write some more until it was time for Spanish at 10. I actually was late to class because I figured that I might as well be a little late, so long as I got more work done. Despite the fact that I promised myself that I wouldn't skip the last class for my EAP (study abroad) seminar because of this essay, I did. Ugh, I felt so bad but I really didn't have a choice because Caitlin and I signed up to have our oral Spanish test at 12:30 and history class was at 1. So yeah, I cut a class to stay in the computer lab at the library to finish that essay. I ended up with
SEVEN PAGES. Well, more like 6 pages and three sentences. BUT STILL. Thank god I got an A on that paper. I would have been mad if I didn't after working pratically all night.
This past week was
FINALS WEEK! AHHH. So those previous posts about "actually studying"...yeah that didn't happen. I ended up procrasinating all weekend because of JONAS SECRETS (those images below) and didn't study for my finals until the night before. Specifically the
morning before. That's right! I got an average of 4-5 hours a sleep per night this week. I currently look and feel like a zombie. Well, besides that, finals were
okay, I guess. I'm scared that I actually screwed up on all of them because of my lack of studying even though I never panicked while taking them.
- History was long and tiring. ID's and two essays.
- ECN 100 was definitely my hardest one, but I think my professor made it A LOT easier than the midterms because our entire class has failed both. Hopefully I'm right and not just stupid.
- ECN1B was torturous. Okay so that class has about 400 or so people and we're all crammed into one another as we're taking the test and I just happen to be lucky enough to sit next to a guy who coughed every two seconds. My sleep depriviation also caught up to me around this time as my head started pounding and I had trouble understanding the questions, despite reading each one three times. It took me an hour to finish a 30 multiple choice test. Sad.
- Spanish was this morning at 8 AM!! Jeez. I am not a morning person at all and this was the earliest I've had to wake up this entire quarter. Again, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but who knows with Spanish. I probably did the entire thing wrong. Oh and I couldn't remember the name for backpack or the holiday that's celebrated on the 6th of January [must google later]. Towards the end of the test, my teacher went up to me and asked if I had turned in the homework that was due. I was in shock since I was positive that I had physically walked up in front of Giedt 1001 and handed her my Chevre, to which she had replied, "Gracias." I told her that I had definitely turned it in and she said she would look. After the exam, I asked if she had found it and the answer was no, but she said that she "trusted" me and that she'd send an email if she couldn't find it. FINGERS CROSSED BECAUSE I NEED THOSE POINTS!!
WHATEVER. ALL OF THAT IS IN THE PAST NOW. I MUST MOVE FORWARD. Winter break is finally here and I've got
DISNEYLAND to look forward to! I am so excited. I've always gone to Disneyland during the summer, but never during the holidays, much less New Year's Eve! EEK.
I feel like doing this right now:
