The semester of hell is almost over. Almost.
As of 3:30PM, I’ve finished 3 of my classes and only have 2 left – Econ (Intermediate Micro) tomorrow and CS (Java) on Thursday.

Random events of study period/finals week (in complete stream-of-consciousness):

• We had 8″ of snow. I didn’t have proper clothes/shoes on since I had been out studying all day so I basically slid my way home after my Math final on Thursday. I also slid my way to the final, but that wasn’t as treacherous because it was uphill.
• My car was towed away, even though I have a permit. Margot had to drive me to the other side of Ithaca and I had to give the guy $250 in cash and then dig my car out of 8″ of snow. I felt like a drug dealer taking that much money out of the ATM.
• Then I had to appeal my 2 error-related tickets as well as try to get my $250 back for being wrongly towed. After some back-and-forth and being called a liar pretty much, it turns out they didn’t add my license plate into the computer system correctly. So that’s settled. I hope.
• I’ve cut caffeine out of my diet. And soda in general. Strange time to do it, but hey, why not. I don’t want to get sick during finals week.
• I forgot to eat for a while, as evidenced by the speed with which I ate a burrito while at work the other day. It was rather impressive. I had eaten a lot of cupcakes. And water. And gummy vitamin C’s, but no real meals. I now have an alarm set on my phone reminding me to eat, shower, and sleep.
• I got cupcakes in the mail from Dee. She’s awesome. Cupcakes in the mail are awesome too. These are not the cupcakes that caused me to forget to eat. These are special occasion cupcakes (read: I will eat all 12 (err…ok I ate one already, so 11) on Thursday night in celebration.)
• I learned how to solve a rubik’s cube. And I’ve practiced my juggling some more. They were not good distractions.
• Movies watched: Benny & Joon, Serendipity (1.25 times. I fell asleep the first time around), How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, The Holiday, Untraceable, possibly one or two others? My definition of watching a movie includes watching everything on the “Special Features” screen in its entirety as well as turning on subtitles and language dubbing if I’m feeling especially goofy. It easily kills 3-4 hours.
• Photos taken of completely boring things like a pile of pens, books, stapler, desk, erasers, more pens, more books, whiteboard, etc: so many I’m ashamed.
• I’ve acquired an embarrassing amount of Christmas music. Feel free to contribute to my collection.
• Time wasted writing this useless post: 15.
• Mission: Accomplished

That’s all for now. I think it’s pretty obvious I have Internet addiction issues, so if I try to talk IM you, twitter, write on your facebook wall or leave a comment on one of your Flickr photos, or anything else for that matter, please do me a favor and yell at me. If you’re nearby, please feel free to use necessary force. I may hate you for it then, but I’ll thank you for it later. Really.
