pseudo-liveblogging spring finals, take 3: finis
Well, the Economics final was the easiest final ever. I did the fifty multiple choice (seriously now) questions in an hour, and was maybe the fifteenth or twentieth person out the door in the class of about four hundred (and that's why they were machine graded, multiple choice tests). Sadly, despite the fact that the class was so easy and the A+ line is 95(!), it's going to be a B+ or A- for me, thanks to a few missed online assignments and some points taken off for a few skipped classes and labs. I'm really getting to dislike attendance policies, because, once again, nothing was in the lectures that wasn't in the textbook, and the labs were a complete waste of time, but... yeah.
Finals are over. This afternoon I went and did the paperwork for my apartment, paid the security deposit and the rent, got my key, took a look (it'll do, it'll do), hauled myself back to eat some lupper, draaaaaaaaaaagged myself back to my dorm and crashed with a headache. It is possible to go without a certain amount of sleep, but it is really not very fun. I kind of did it just because I could, but I think that's out of my system. This whole semester has been the one where I learn by experience just how much nicer it is to eat enough and sleep enough. You might think that I should know this already, that I would not have to go through this cliched college experience, but no. One consequence of living as if nothing worth paying attention to existed below nose level - I would seriously just sit and read and soak in the world through the internet and books forever if I could. I really need to start exercising again - another thing on my shortlist of things to do. Part of the reason why I went to college, and a big reason why I got a job, was to get myself out of that rut of not actually doing anything. I need to meet some people too; it's been a whole year, and it was kind of lame not to be able to give anyone within a three hour drive as my emergency contact. Some people from the philosophy club were in my philosophy of language class and they seemed reasonably cool, so I think I'll start there.
The next two days will go to moving and cleaning up my dorm so I can check out. Need to get some Iron Man in there too. Then five week summer physics, thirty hour work weeks, and getting ready for fall. But first, sleep.
