25 more min till my laundry dries
i finished my goddamn law of homicide take home paper at approx 8.49 pm today. way before the deadline, thank god. but my mind feels as though it's been kinda fried tho. it's a good thing i had company rushing the evil paper thanks to diana and ben. their presence in the koerner library basement room helped keep me sane.
of course, there were other welcome distractions (even in the library!), but those distractions did not really contribute to the progress of my paper. they did however make me v happy, so i cannot complain. :)
it doesn't feel like the exams actually. i just did a take home and i've got 2 more papers; one of which i have only gone for 1 lecture in the whole sem and i didn't even buy the materials for... so it's going to be quite a bit to have to catch up on, if i intend to not do too badly. but in spite of all this, i'm far from stressed. in fact the past 2 days when i was doing a final exam for a topic tt i had kinda abandoned for over a month... i wasn't stressed at all.
i got told by people, even those i was msning, to stop msning and start doing my paper. stop emailing and start on my paper. stop blogging and start doing my paper. and in spite of this, as you can guess from the numerous blog entries and my ever-consistent "online" presence on msn, i continually detract from the well-intentioned advice. and even when i'm offline, it *so* doesn't translate to studying. not at all. =)
i'm actually amused by this state of affairs. maybe i really am mad, like they say, coz every exam seems to stress me less and less. right now it doesn't even feel like the exams. if not for diana reminding me tt *she* has to study for the exams, i would continue to bug her like it was just the beginning of term. but i guess tt's what certain external factors can do to you; make you forget the stress and heaviness and the daily grind of academics.
and once again, i'm not complaining. i like the state of affairs. i like not being stressed, being happy even when i need to study. i like being distracted... but only for this exception. it sounds even madder, but i don't want this period to end. i don't want april 26th to come, when my exams end and my parents come up on april 27th. i don't want to move out of residence and away. i'm not looking forward to tt one month without...
