Now, I know that this is not in our usual turn taking tradition, but I feel like writing something, so here I am...
Nothing in particualar that was ultimately inspiring this, but you know...there usually isn't haha
Today we had our midterms. The entire first year class, covering EVERYTHING we have learned so far this year. Let's just keep in mind that this is a course incorporating 4 uni courses in one...
that should give you an idea of the 2 foot pile of books we had to study. Ugh. I was feeling a bit depressed about it, to be honest. As most people we. Never have I heard to many people joking about making a "Casual trip to the seventh circle" (aka Dante's seventh circle of hell. Aka, among other things: Suicide." It was overwhelming to a high degree.
And I just kept thinking about how many hours I spent working at all my various jobs in order to save up for university, and now that I'm here...spending more time drinking than studying, and more time just hanging around (but enjoying life) than anything else.
Up until this, it totally felt worth it, but I got a C on my last paper, and I'm just feeling like I should make some subtle lifestyle changes if I know what's good for me. This, and I'm the nerdiest of all my friends here. Haha, they are a good time, but...well, perhaps not the most acedemically inclined, you could say.
No regrets tho, that's not what I'm saying. Just, there is room for improvement, and now that I have recognized that, I know I need to start putting more time and effort into my studies.
So this weekend was literally 100% studying. And absolutely nothing else. Like, besides meals and...well, that's it really, it was all information reabsorption for me!
It was good tho, because all of us were in desperate need of studying, and nobody wanted to fail (altho, well....shit happens haha) so we stayed on topic at least 95% of the time. I have never in my life studied so productively. And, I am sure that I passed! Perhaps not with flying colours, but at least by a significant margin. If I took that exam 3 days ago...well, let's just say the significant margin would be on the other side of the pass/fail line. So I have been in a pretty excellent mood since then :)
And tonight, as celebration, Aidan and I are going out for dinner, which is wonderful on so many levels. We haven't seen each other as much lately (tho we obviously still see each other a lot, living about 50ft away from each other) and, no cafeteria food, horray!
Anyways tho, I shall leave it at that for today.
Love Edna

Usual taking turn tradition? Eh, dont worry Edna, if you feel like writting, dont wait until I do, it would be a waste of inspiration! And I always love to read about anything you write, so go ahead whenever you feel like it :). But of course, dont do like I do, writting or reading the blog instead of all the work I'm supposed to do..... oops :P. I know exaclty what youve been throught, well I didnt have the same kind of ultra important and stressful exam, but when you talk about the non-rpoductivity :P. I'm the biggest procrastinator these days, its really bad. Well I dont fail any courses, at least, but I do have a lack of productivity and motivation. But I had this psychology exam not long ago, which was my beast because I did almost failed that course, but I worked so hard before the exam, for once, and got out of it pretty good ! :D So yes, you deserve to celebrate this big effort you made, hope you enjoyed your night out ;). Be proud of yourself anyways, just to be there is an accomplishment in a way. But Ill leave you on this. Oh, and I can tell you that my next post might be about my dad, or his new girlfriend..... ugh.
