now it really is three down...midterms, that is.

as predicted, the day went by extraordinarily quickly as things have a habit of doing when you're running from one thing to another. i am so glad that today is over.

i woke up late because my alarm didn't go off (apparently i disabled it last night when i was trying to set it...oops) and i thought i was doomed to have a horrible day. i got dressed, threw on my red sox hat, and ran out the door. the ethics exam was alright. it took me about 25 minutes to do the 50 multiple choice questions. we'll see how i end up though. after some studying, i took a shower, ate some food, and headed off for native american studies and world lit. the NAS exam was easier than i had anticipated, so that was good. my essay was not as good as i would have hoped, but i will continue to contend that the question was flawed. world lit was long, but necessitated only surface-level analysis, so it wasn't bad considering i didn't really study for it. after world lit, i went and hung out with steph for about 20 minutes, then i grabbed my stuff for physics and walked over to hixson lied. for one of the first times ever in that class, i actually understood what was going on. i hope it shows in my quiz grade.

all i have to do tonight is study for biology. it really should be a bigger deal to me, but i'm so burnt out that i am not even worried about it at this point. i have another chapter and a half to read, and then i'll look over notes, old exams, and my study guides.

i am incredibly excited to go home tomorrow night. i know that, as usual, i'm getting overly excited and i will probably end up being disappointed in the end. that's the way it always happens, yet i can never prevent myself from getting excited for it. i made ben and jack promise to play golf with me while i'm home, so hopefully i can guilt them into that once or twice. i'm excited to see if matt's decided to sell me the ping clubs or not. if he has, it will be a test of my will not to buy the R5 since i don't think i have an extra $250 to spend on it. we'll see though. it will be really hard not to buy it. i do need to start being more careful with my money, especially since jay and i are going to look at cars while i'm home. i'll have to buy my own by next fall anyway, so why not look now? my dad will freak out as soon as he realizes what's going on, but oh well. its inevitable...i can't be without my own car for much longer.

the plan for tonight...
read some bio
dinner with the team
more bio reading/studying
packing/relaxing? (doubtful...it will probably have to wait until tomorrow)

tomorrow...
8:30-9:20 physics
9:30-10:20 bio exam
10:25-1:30 work in the lab
3:45-6 practice

things i have to get done before i leave...
pack
figure out homework over break
finalize qwest center stuff
say the things i'm keeping myself from saying
