Finals Week Student

It's the holiday season, and I'm in my room studying.

That's good thing, by the way. Studying is good, especially when I have finals coming up. My schedule for the week is very front-loaded. Computer science 8 AM Monday, SOSC paper due Tuesday by 5 PM, and a history paper that I must complete in 24 hours (have to check it out) due before Thursday at 4 PM. So in all likelihood: computer science studying tomorrow (probably not any more today), writing SOSC paper right after exam, check out history paper right after SOSC paper gets turned in. Then I have my math final Friday at 10:30, and fly out later that day.

The bad news: I can't watch the Hobbit. I really, really, really wanted to see the midnight opening. But it's during finals, and I will be responsible with my sleep. In fact, I usually sleep more during finals than at any other time. Might not be a good idea, but it keeps me sane. Missing the Hobbit in Chicago means that when I get back to Portland I will be going with a gang of my high school friends. Should be fun.

I got a new hard drive. 256 Agility 4. I have a case ready to go for the one I'm currently working on. But... I don't have time to replace it. And I don't want to risk anything going bad right as I'm about to write a paper. So after I turn in my history essay I might make the switch. But I also have to finish a food video (filmed before I came to college... ouch). So I will put it in my computer before the 30 day money back guarantee to make sure it works, but it won't get a full spin-up till after I get back to Portland.

So that's my life right now. My ankle has been making popping/snapping noises but a quick internet search has told me that it's alright. I'm still worried (and the little fucker still hurts at the edges of its mobility), but I think it'll be alright. I have some ambitious goals for over winter break for both my mental and physical self, so we'll see how far I get.

Before I forget: I've been waking up close to 7 every morning. Though it's always cloudy these days, I'm up before the sun. What a great feeling.

In the meantime, keep your stick on the ice!
