i haven't had a math final in a really long time. yesterday i studied for 7+ hours for that thing. i went to reviews, i reserved a private study room with friends, and i went through every previous assignment and test. why? well... i had all As in my class, except this class and I had a 89%. That's just SO annoying. on the what-if calculator, i determined i had to get a 95% on the final in order to boost my grade up one percentage point. and it would just be ridiculous if i didn't get an A in this class. so i studied and studied and studied with my friend Lexi :)
we attacked the review papers and studied on our own for several hours before we attended the review and relearned a ton of stuff from our teacher. obviously, we had to take a few breaks. like for food. we found ourselves being spoiled (except, it's super cheap) at j-dawgs. that place is definitely a special treat. and i don't even like hot dogs normally. but it completely hit the spot.
then, we found another private study room, studied with our friend jenna and i finally left campus. i had to go home and dedicate myself to another assignment. but first.... i got a little sidetracked because my new Sims3 for the wii came in the mail!!! i gotta have some fun, right?
once drake got home, after twelve hours of busy season at his work, i turned the gaming over to him while i tried to attack more preparation for finals. i can not wait until this weekend when i'm officially done with this semester and get to relax!!
december 15 update. finals week was ridiculous this year. now that i live in married housing, i didn't have a cleaning check to worry about... and my cute little apartment suffered. especially in the area of laundry and clothes. when i'm stressed out and always rushing, i have no desire to do anything with clothes except throw them on my bed. this results in mounds of dirty laundry, usually intermixed with clean laundry, on the floor at the foot of the bed. this problem escalates quickly.
also, my body suffers because my desire to cook is zero when i'm stressed, rushed, and the kitchen is already dirty. nobody wants to cook in a dirty kitchen. and since this week was so busy, we ran out of all the essentials because there was no trip to the grocery store. we're out of milk, bread, tortillas, lunch meat, or any fruits or veggies. i've lived on top ramen and frozen burritos to get by. friday was my low-point, however. i seriously ate TWO big macs in one day. what?! i celebrated after my last final. i had half an hour before going to work and there was nothing to eat at home... so big mac it was. and it rocked my socks off. then, for dinner, after work and picking drake up... i was in the same boat, and since it hit the spot so perfectly earlier... i couldn't help myself. big mac #2. ewww. i'm so gross. i drank water with them both, does that count for anything?!
but the important thing is that finals week is over and i have a few weeks to relax and not worry about ANYTHING... except money and bills of course :)
and even more important is my grade for my math final. i just found out i got a 94.76... at first, i nearly cried, i need that dang 95% to get an A... but then, i realized somehow it pulled my average just enough. my final grade in that class is a solid 90.24 :) :) and that's officially another straight A semester. i got used to those in high school, then college hit and **flash** they disappeared... until my last couple semesters. and it feels good. i think i deserve another big mac :) jk.
