greek or geek

Getting Winslow to-go during finals week is a sort of tradition for me, I suppose. Eating my lunch out of a styrofoam box in front of the computer reminds me of finals week anyway. Actually, I ate a lot of Winslow to-go during the beginning of ths semester. That was before Val and I became lunch buddies. Sheesh, that was a while back.

So, yeah. I had the Hovie final. I could not have done better on it even if I had studied, but I sho' didn't. I knew it wouldn't do me any good. And it's not that I did poorly. No. I'm just the Greek goddess of literature. Okay, so I just spent the past ten minutes trying to figure out the name of the goddess who holds dominion over literature, and I've no luck. Yeah, there are a couple of the Nine Muses that I could relate to, but shoot. Apparently, I just need to be added to the Greek Pantheon. Okay, so I'm not that good. But I think I did a fine job on that final.

I stopped in the Curris Center on my way back from Faculty Hall to get a friend a graduation card. I had two English classes with the girl last semester, and for some reason, I promised her I would buy her a Hallmark Fresh Ink card come graduation. I've only seen her a few times this semester, but I guess I better make good on my promise. While I was in the bookstore, I noticed the freshman reading experience book for this summer, and I'm jealous. Do you know what they are reading? Freaking Rocket Boys. That's the book that October Sky was based on. I bet it's a good book. It has to be better than All Over But The Shoutin' and Nickel and Damned, right?

Speaking of books, under my little list thing off to the left there, I have a link to my half.com wishlist. Actually, there is only one book on it right now, but whatever. Talking about books reminded me. So just in case you ever want to buy something, there's the list. And you can order it used off of half.com for a much better price. (Do I get any kind of payment for plugging half.com? Oh, well.)

Well, I'm sitting here telling Jackie how I'm going to work on my new blog layout over the three weeks I am home this summer, but man. I really want to play with it right now. I only have four more finals to take and two more papers to write. No biggie at all. And it's not like I need to pack or anything. Nope. So it looks like I have all kinds of time to exercise my geekity. Wait, no matter what I do, I'm a geek. If I study, I'm a geek. If I write papers, I'm a geek. I'm a start packing in advance, I'm a geek. And heaven forbid, if I work on my webpage, I'm definitely a geek. I guess I'm at a loss, huh?

Here's a thought to finish up on. At the end of this week, I will have officially endured an entire month's worth of college finals. Now if that doesn't make ya feel like your time is well spent, what does?

fact: rate of blogging increases in relation to nearness of finals

As you can see, Holly and I are no more than four years old. And we can't do anything without the other one copying.
Take this photo from Captain D's. Here, I have dumped my ice cream cup upside down in my cake package. (You also have to take into consideration that we both got chocolate cake and ice cream...) Well, she followed, so I put my drink cup on top. As did she. So then we did a little Babel buildin' and ended up with fork prongs in straws and cake package tops perilously dangling.

And just to prove that we can't do anything without the other one doing it, you'll notice, if you check, that she's posting this picture on her blog as I type. :-)

I don't want to do anything. I don't want to work on my papers. I don't want to pack. I'm not exactly certain what I do want to do. I need to take a shower. I need to write my Hovie paper and study for my Hovie test. The paper is due at the final tomorrow. I'm in a predicament because out of all the essay options for the test, the only one I want to write is the topic for my paper. I can't write both of them on the same topic, so I am going to have to make some adjustments. I guess I'm going to have to figure out a way to successfully show my "breadth of knowledge," as he calls it. Bleh. I don't want to do any of it. It's like senoritis for sophomores, it is.

i feel like these pictures go together

We went to the Almighty Movie World last night, and Val and I got Jones Sodas. This is my lid.


The West Indian guy named Apollo in our humanities class prides himself on writing crap on the board before class. He's the most annoying non-trad on the face of the planet. This is his work. That fellow in the picture is just one of the two members of the Gate of Geeks. He's making googly eyes at his lover, Barry.

may showers

Yeah, so it's supposed to be April showers bring May flowers, but today, we've been looking at some spring showers. It's kinda fun. It's probably going to storm again tonight. You know, as long as I'm not getting blown away by a tornado, I like storms. That's about all the rebellious nature I have in me. I was brought up to fear storms. It's just the way I was raised. Well, Dad is mortified of any kind of weather, essentially. Mom, on the other hand, is stubborn and would just as soon sit in the living room and have a tornado pass to spite Dad. It's funny really. But it always turns into a big uproar. So I just like to enjoy a storm, you know. But get back with me when I'm living by myself and a big storm hits.

Well, classes are over, and that's a great relief. I'm not going to stress out too much over finals. I'm just going to get through the week. I'm not going to cram for hardly any finals. I'm going to do a little reviewing, and then do what I can. It's not worth stressing over.

I do have to do a lot of packing. That I'm not looking forward to.

Okay, so I'm tired of writing. I'm going to get a shower and then do my laundry.
