Post the Twenty-Fifth: Midterms Blehh

So I am ALMOST done midterms fortnight. Yes, not a week, a fortnight, AKA 2 weeks.

First I had Archaeology 'test'. It was practically a midterm, as it was worth 25% of our grade; there are 4 of these 'tests' throughout the term and no midterm or final. So, whatever. That was last Monday. It was 60 multiple choice and that's it. I did pretty well, got 90%.

Then I had a German test last Tuesday. It was a test, not a midterm, but, y'know, still a pretty big deal. There are no midterms in this class: there's 6 unit tests and usually a pop quiz every week, as well as homework and participation. ANYWAYS, I got 88% on it. It was a standard language test: listening section, writing section, comprehension section.

Then I had my Sexuality midterm last Wednesday. There are 2 midterms for the record. I got 87% on that. It was 49 multiple choice and 1 short paragraph.

Then fast forward a week and a half to today, when I had my History midterm. I FREAKED THE FUCK OUT over studying for this one. As History's my major, it's kiiiiiinda important to do well. Anyways, I studied a LOT and it turned out to be pretty much useless as everything on the exam was from lectures, NOT the textbook. Don't know the mark, as, like I said, I just did it. It was 3 short paragraphs and 1 essay. I finished literally 1 minute before the end of the exam though.

And I have just 1 midterm left on Tuesday, Astronomy. I'm not entirely sure of the format yet. I do know that I need to study a bit.

So, I'll just list off some things that I've noticed lately.

1) Having a cold during an exam sucks. Just saying. Your brain is foggy and your nose is stuffed so you have to breathe through your mouth and then your lips get dry but you can't get your water because it's in your bag and you're in the middle of an exam. Also, coughing.

2) Studying in the library makes you feel like you can't breathe for fear of being too loud, never mind coughing.

3) PDA is not cool. PDA on buses is even less cool. PDA on buses RIGHT NEXT TO YOU is extremely uncool. PDA on buses right next to you where they bump into you while making out is horrible. PDA on buses right next to you where they bump into you while making out for 15 minutes is HELL.

4) Rape trails turn into happy strolls in the daylight.

5) If you think your computer is growling at you, it's likely just your cellphone vibrating.

6) Funny blogs should not be read in a public place where you're not allowed to be loud (ie: library).

7) If you really want to study, you should not bring your laptop to the library with you.

8) Playing soundtrack music on your iPod makes EVERYTHING seem different. Battle music makes that guy running look like he's a warrior.

9) Texting is highly addicting.

10) I have a penchant for chubby Asian guys. I get along with them really well 9/10 times. Don't know why.

11) Sighing with phlegm in your throat is painful.

12) Silencing your cellphone during lectures is not always necessary, at least at SFU, because most buildings have absolutely terrible reception. It is not uncommon to get about 5 text messages in a row upon leaving a lecture hall.

Aaaaaand let's leave it there because I'm running out of things to say.

I'm heading over to Tyler's in a bit to hang out with the kinderninjas. I texted Tyler saying that I missed him and we should hang out, and he's like "Lol okay. Friday?" So yeah. They had this Me to We Day thing to go to, so they're heading back now. I just got a text saying they're at Commercial Station... Sooo, probably about another 45 minutes or so until they actually get to Tyler's. I don't want to head over there until they're there. ><; Awkward much.

So, in the mean time, I'm going to do all the things that I denied myself doing while studying... namely, I'm going to read manga. Adieu!
