One down

Blogger works today! For some reason, I haven't been able to update or check blogs in the past few days. Mabe it's just my computer (I'm currently at a library computer, clearly not being very studious)?

Anyway, exam period has officially started. I hope you can excuse my little panic attack there, it pretty much summed up how I was feeling. Now that I'm elbow-deep in exmas, well, there's little else to do than write them, is there? I had one today and have three more this week. Then I get to write one on monday, and I'm done!
The one today went OK: it was an essay-type exam (6 essays in 3 hours... urgh), which makes me a little uncomfortable. Reading over the answers, I'm always struck by how simple and uninspired they are. Luckilly, last night my friend Heather and I went over the previous years' exams-- and several questions had been repeated this year! Allright!
I make it a general rule not to think about how well/terrible I did once the exam is over though; what's the point of gripping over something you can't change? We'll see when the grades are up.

I'm tired, though. All I want to do now if reconnect with my friends (assuming I still have any), go out, plan a dinner, go dancing, go Christmas shopping, etc. It makes me a bit sad that I'll only have one day in Montreal before I head "home" to Madagascar, but at the same time, it's finals period. No one will be going out. I suppose there's always next semester...
At the same time, I can't WAIT until I'm get to see my family again-- it's been a YEAR since I saw my sister and brother (those two days in Dordogne don't count!). That's disgusting, and I hope it never happens again.

Hmm... I also can't wait until vacation to read. There are so many nice juicy books that caught my eye this semester but that I just haven't had time to read. Note to self: must read next year. Who needs sleep anyway?
