Bored²

It's finals time here at Duquesne and just about everywhere else. College students across the country are holed up in their little study closets in the library, studying all day and night. With the help of some Adderol and a tripple shot of espresso from Starbucks every few hours, of course. Meanwhile, I have done such exciting things as played Text Twist to about 150,000 points, whacked a penguin around on YetiSports (sorry, Jamie) for a few hours and checked Facebook and random people's blogs about 934850934850324958304 times. I AM SO FREAKING BORED!

But don't you have to study? you ask. Well, I did study you see. I spent several whole hours on Ochem Monday afternoon and a similar amount of hours on Cell Molec Tuesday afternoon. And then I spent the remaining part of the day calculating what grades I need to keep an A (A- in Ochem's case). Other than Ochem needing a pretty good performance, the highest grade I need to keep an A in any class is an 82 and this is mostly due to the very small amount of points we have overall. Everyone else, meanwhile, is going: "HOLY SHIT! I'M GONNA FAIL!!! -PANIC, PANIC-" Thus, I have no one to play with and have grown rather bored.

There are, however, two very good things about this boredom: SLEEP and work! Although most of my finals are 8:45s (blech!), they are all on different days, allowing me to take a nice, long nap after each. And the final that's not at 8:45? It's not until 1:15 so I can sleep 'til noon...maybe later. And as for work, all the extra time translates to me working several days. Thank goodness! In the aftermath of my Christmas shopping, my back account is on life support. Well, not really, but it's a lot lower than I'd like it to be, so alas, I work!
