Drenched in Gasoline, I Light a Match...
Dec. 10th, 2002 11:42 pmHey all!
Today's been a really good day, again!
Got up at WayTooEarly to study Literature with Mary. Grapped a bite to eat for breakfast (I LOVE those little Sausage-biscuit things) and then headed over to JP2. Work was OK for the first couple of hours cause we had a big group of 70-some-odd 6th Graders come through. They were (generally) really well behaved, too. It's funny, kids never act their age - they always try to be just a bot older or just a bit younger. I suppose that's just the way kids are at that age.
The rest of the day was really slow and would have been excruciatingly boring if not for the fact that I was working with Hazel/Natashia (she goes be both, it seems, and I'm not sure which she really is). I was schedualed as 'Relief,' which means I didn't have anywhere I was 'supposed' to be for most of the day. So I sat and goofed around with Hazel - she's great, cause we just bounce off eachother back and forth, like a well-rehearsed improv show. We had a grand time, just laughing with and at eachother. For those of you who might be concerned, we DID get work accomplished, but we had a ball, too. It was great. Tiffany was in, too, and she's really nice as well, so she brightened the drudgery of it all, as well.
Afterwards, I came back here, read my mail, relaxed my back, and stretched my mind in preperation for my Literature Exam. I'm thinking reading over some of Kincaid's old popsts might be a good exercise whenever my mind feels a bit cramped. I'd gotten a grewat deal of study in this morning with Mary, and I read a bit more while I was at work (durring my lunch break and such) so I wes feeling a bit flexed. I got into the room, joked a bit with Tara, spoke with A-ko (who didn't feel like it was mathmatically possible for her to pass, as I was sure it was impossible for me to fail) and the exam started promptly at 4:00.
I so owned that exam! Ten Matching, Ten True/false, Twenty-Two Multiple Choice, and 2 Essays (each chosen for two sepparate sets of three questions). The matching tripped me up for only a second - there were a few obscure characters, but a little reasoining soon found them out (enough for my piece of mind). The true/false was mindless, as you have a 50/50 chance either way. And the Multiple Choice was bang-bang-bang easy.
The essays were no trouble. Each one had three options, and I found an option I could work in each case. The first was basic, commenting on Grendel through the attitude of Vathec, clean and simple. The second I took an eskewed approach to, presenting Vathec's decent into damnation as a sort of 'Hero's Quest.' In either, I knew what I was saying and how I was saying it. I was in, out, and done in 40 minutes. w00+!
Afterwards, I vegitated in my room for a few hours on WC3, had dinner, and visited Meg for 15min. with Mary and B-ko to study for Philosophy. We accomplished alot in those three hours, and it was alot of fun, but completely burned my mind. I came back here and felt so pumbed (and so besieged by the munchies) that I washed my mug and made up some cappuccino and oatmeal, and had myself a snack.
Anyways, I seem to have lost my train of thought, as I'm speaking with both Mandy and Leslie, so I'm off!
As far as the subject goes, I was just reading a post and it came to mind. I thought it sounded pretty cool, and I wanted to use it somewhere, but i couldn't think of anything... So, I plugged it in there as I don't have anything there anyways, and thise way I can't really lose it.
