3 hours to freedom

I’m sitting in my classroom studying for may last final that starts in about an hour.

I’m finally starting to feel the weight lift…
I can honestly say I have no idea how I did on the chemistry final last night. I probably did about average, which is fine, I suppose.
The bio final shouldn’t be too bad; it’s just a TON of random material.
After this, Andrew and I are having a celebratory lunch at Tantalus and his mom and sister are going to join us! I’m so seriously considering a glass of wine with lunch…
Then, we’re taking the Christmas photo somewhere in the village and then it’s Christmas prep for me until we leave on Friday!

burnin’ ink

I ran out of ink today. Blue ink.

I like to use blue ink to write on handouts that a few of my teachers (graciously!) provide. I find the blue stands out better against the black printing (duh) and makes it so much easier to read and study.

Anyway, there I was, nearing the end of Chemistry and my writing slowly began to fade. It faded and faded until it just about died.

I wasn’t surprised. While this was the first time in class that I’ve run out of ink, it is not the first time this semester. Or the second. Or the third.

Five pens. I’ve gone through FIVE pens this semester so far, and we aren’t even half-way through. No matter about tuition; it will be the cost of INK that will eat us out of house and home (or hotel) before I’m finished with school!

In their defense, I do take a lot of notes. But still–five? In as many weeks?

Yikes. I do believe they sell refills for this particular brand (my ultimate fave), so I’ve saved the empties.

Only two pens left before I run out!

surprise! test WEDNESDAY

Did I mention yesterday was MONDAY?

I definitely have a HUGE Anatomy test tomorrow. And then another one NEXT Wednesday. Thankfully, it’s all memorization and I’ve kept up with my studying-as-I-go habits, so I’m not stressed.

Good thing I worked NONSTOP Sunday on all sorts of different homework/note-taking/studying so I can just worry about all the “bigger” things I have this week:

-that Anatomy test

-another Biology test

-my first Chem quiz (not sure what to think about this one…it’s one of those online, timed things)

-Anatomy lab quiz

-start Psych book report?

I’m telling you, being an early-riser (hello, 5:30) is a HUGE advantage. I’ve already studied for both tests, had coffee and breakfast and set Andrew’s breakfast out as well.

Whew! I’m a busy girl!

Oh, and we’re seeing The Lion King here in Buffalo Wednesday night–so excited! I’m going to try to find a neat place to go to dinner beforehand, too.

It’s a return to the pool for me this morning!
