Testing Times

Semester Seasons

This is the time of the season where everything begins to really pile up and you start to think that homework was designed to seem impossible. You look ahead at the weeks in front of you and you wonder how you’re ever going to make it to the end without at some point sacrificing this or that. Except you never really do. You just get stuff done like it’s magic and before you know it, the exams are upon you.

So, right now, I have every reason to believe that things won’t be all right. I also have every reason to believe that they will be. And that’s how we’ll roll.

Invincible

Perhaps as a small aftermath-type effect to all my recent problems, I currently feel slightly invincible, in the sense that I think I can take on the world and no challenge is too big. I think this happens to everyone now and then, because that certainly seems to be the case for me. Without doubt, I should be back to a more… miserable? pessimistic? weak? realistic? take on things very soon.

Still, it informs a number of my recent decisions.

This doesn’t in any way imply that I’ve come up with a solution for things that have been bugging me, but maybe it suggests a level of comfort, the sort of comfort you get when you know what you’re dealing with. Doesn’t mean I’ve got it worked out–I doubt I will–but it might mean that I know what I can and cannot do, which oftentimes is cause enough for celebration.

Money Matters

Of course it does. And now I find that I have to buy some criticism and maybe spend a little on some special things as well. My only consolation is that I don’t remember any birthday gifts I have to prepare in the imminent future, though I swear I’m not doing that on purpose.

We Had Pun

Oh yes, there’s a test today. I forgot to mention that at the start of the post. It’s Sociology. It’s my first ever Sociology test. Let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope I don’t mess up too badly.

Let It Rain

It’s been raining these days. The weather oscillates happily between nauseating heat and fairly impressive, lightning-less rain. Sometimes the two combine and it gets so warm it makes you sick just after the rain. I don’t mind them individually, but it does get on my nerves when they decide to work together.

Well, time to tackle the test. See you on the flip side.
