WAG - ”One more down...”


As I walked out of the English building massaging my right hand gingerly to coax blood back into it after spending one hour and 17 minutes on the test, I quietly said to myself, “One more down, two more to go…”

Of course, that’s just the start of it. In addition to the two midterms, of which my toughest one (J-110: Editing) is tomorrow, I have a profile I need to write for Monday, a revision due (Is it a bad thing when your major source says he’s so busy that I need to check back with him AFTER Spring Break?), and a 10 month anniversary to plan (granted that last one mainly involves deciding what to do for lunch and what DVD to watch, but a person still worries about such things).

I also just realized (after that last paragraph) that I am developing a major dependency on parenthesises (()).

My goal is to make it to 9:05 a.m. next Monday with my sanity intact.

Sounds like a long shot, doesn’t it?

To help, today I decided to treat myself at the University Bookstore: I bought a pen. Nothing fancy, especially since it looks like I need to start saving my money, but every little bit helps.

I was thinking of getting a copy of Pygmalion along with the book, showing how big of a literary nerd I am, but I figured that would be too much for a mid-point celebration.

Note: For those of you who don’t know, Pygmalion is My Fair Lady, just without the singing or Rex Harrison.

Maybe I’ll pick that up Monday afternoon…

Until then, it’s back to the other books…
