Two down... Three to go...
I'm finally in that home stretch, now that finals have started. In exactly 48 hours, I will be home for Christmas break. I'm so excited...
But I'm also grateful that my days are fuller now. For instance, Sunday I spent almost the entire day studying for Philosophy. The few breaks I took were to hang out with Thomas for an hour or so in the early afternoon, to get lunch, doing laundry, and then finally to hang out with Thomas again in the evening. Even in the evening though, both of us were studying for Philosophy. Study study study study.... Nevertheless, it's always fun to hang out with Thomas, so at least that time was enjoyable!!! :)
Plus, he gave me a very sweet gift- a beautiful copy of The Count of Monte Cristo. I've been wanting to read the unabridged version since my freshman year of high school, so I'm very excited to read it!!! Thanks, Thomas!
Today has been also full of studying. I had a slow start... let myself have some computer time in the morning, did some last-minute studying for Philosophy, got lunch, and then took the Philosophy final.
I was more nervous walking into the final than I expected... I don't like that I was nervous for it, but despite my efforts to make myself not stress out, I couldn't help but feel a bit stressed! Maybe because it was Philosophy... or maybe because it was a final in general. Maybe the latter, because I'm nervous for my finals tomorrow too...
When the final was passed out, I first felt relieved- I knew all the topics being talked about on the final, so I was satisfied with my level of studying. However, as I went through the test, I began to realize that even though I understood the concepts, the test itself was difficult. There were a few parts of the questions that I know I didn't do too well on. Oh well. It's done!!!
I went to the gym to celebrate, and then went to dinner with Jinny and Sneha. I also got myself cookies from Starbucks... :) They made me really happy, even though I should probably cut down on sugar. I'll be eating a lot over Christmas break, I can sense that already. Better to have a moderate amount of sugar than too much, right?
...meh. I'll start that habit tomorrow.
Since I got back from dinner, I've been attempting to study for my Text Studies (Theater 125) final. I took some time to pack for Christmas... but studying is my main priority. It's been hard to concentrate... I'm stopping now because I'm too tired to get anything else in my brain.
Lucky Jinny finished finals today!! She went to bed at 9:10. 9!!! Looks like the tables have turned- last week, I wasn't doing much and she was working hard. Now, she can relax while it's my turn to work really hard... I think I prefer working hard and then relaxing, but it is what it is.
t-48 hours..... Two more days.... I'm so excited for Christmas. Finals are no fun.
Fight on, friends
