*Welcome back, me*
Wow. I never expected to last past the week. The two midterms back-to-back on Monday night then Tuesday morning REALLY got to me. I seriously doubted that I would be able to handle both midterms together. In the past, I usually tossed one out the window in favour of doing well on ONE of the two, but this time... I think I actually managed to do well on both. Oh well... we'll see on Monday and Tuesday.
My Discourse assignment was due shortly after the double-midterm whammy. Boy, that paper started out REAL strong and rapidly lost steam as I noticed I had 5 minutes left before class and I had yet to answer the last (of 4) question. Eek.
The next couple of weeks is going to be horrid too. LOADS of reading to do as I prepare for my presentations (note the PLURAL 'S') and the multiple papers due. After writing all those midterms, I'm glad to go back to writing papers. It's much more academic and grad-school-like to read and express our views on things. Midterms basically encourage rote memorisation, right?
I got my first midterm back from SLA (Second Language Acquisition)... 91%, baby! Yee-ha! I think the class average was like... 100%, so technically... I failed, but eh... what the heck? It's still an A!
I had (key word - HAD) started the South Beach Diet, but by Day 4... I had had enough of it. I ran out at 9pm that night for a huge piece of Strawberry Shortcake and Chinese take-out. So much for losing the belly-flab. But I was getting cranky... I feel sorry for everyone around me (sorry, Amy!).
For the first time since Valentine's Day 2001 (wow... 3 years)... I got flowers! Tulips too! My favourite! Such a nice gesture... but I'm suffering from a serious case of hay fever... but of course, us girls will NEVER tell of our allergies to pollen, right?
Oh! I got tickets to go and see "The View" (The Barbara Walters daytime talk show?)! Kinda funny... but also kinda cool at the same time! It's going to be so cool to see a talk show right there instead of from the TV! So awesome!
Right... must get some regular sleep. Ta for now!~
