Ahhh....peace at last. I love the feeling at the end of a day that you have been working really hard for. Wednesdays are always busy. Each week I have a recitation assignment and a quiz for mythology and today's history test was my second Wednesday test in a row. I spent all day yesterday preparing for this test. It was really important to me that I at least try to get a good grade. So, I toiled from 4 in the afternoon 'till 2 in the morning writing practice essays and paragraphs for the test. We had 4 short essays to write and 1 5-paragraph essay and he gave us several possible questions for each portion. I wrote out 3 of the 5 possible essays that could be on the test. It looked like I would be okay as long as at least one of the three I studied would be on the test. I'd be completely sunk, however, if he were to put the last two essays questions on the test. I figured I could BS my way through at least 3 paragraphs of either of the other two questions, so I wasn't TOO concerned. When I sat down to take the test, I looked immediately to the essay questions. Which one's did he pick? I was so nervous. I noticed right away that he had 3 question choices on the test rather than the 2 that he said there would be. This was good, it means I would have written out one at least. As I glanced over them I saw that they were, in fact, the 3 questions that I had written out. A huge weight was lifted off my shoulders knowing that the hardest part of the essay portion was choosing which essay to write about.
So, overall, today was an outstanding day. My friend Andrew joined me in the Union before class, which was nice. I really enjoy him. If I were to describe his personality, it would be a mixture of Steph's musical knowledge, Nick V's intellectual-scientific views on things, my sense of humor, and even a splash of my brother's love of the outdoors. His family has a cabin on the lake. With jet ski's. sigh... and he's cute, too. It's like he's a combination of all of my friends. He even reminds me a little bit of Holly in the sense that we always seem to be laughing at the same joke...and generally we're the only ones.
Hmm....lovely, lovely, today has been lovely. Oh, except for the fact that it snowed without any warning and my feet were soaked by the time I got home because I was wearing ballet flats that do not fair well in the murky slush. And now I'm off to bed, because a good night's sleep sounds like the perfect ending of such loveliness.
