Talk, Talking A Lot, But It's Still Talk

Good news (if you're me)!  I got an A on the Stats Test of Doom!

I'm so relieved, I can't even tell you - all the studying really paid off.  I feel like I can breathe now.  For a couple seconds.  And then I have to study for my Mythology midterm.  And write a speech.  And start organizing my Philosophy notes.

...I'm such a mood killer.

BUT.  No matter - I'll remain smug about this until Sunday at least.  Anyway, I'm done now.

Attempting to write and talk to my family at the same time, and my conversation is for crap right now because of it.  Not that it matters - I'm being treated to a monologue about grade curves at the moment, so I don't really have to do more than make affirmative noises.  Just got back from the Stats Test of Doom, which actually wasn't as terrible as the professor made it out to be.  As in, I don't think I failed, so I don't need to reassure myself that life will go on, my parents won't really kill me, etc.  Good thing, because I was giving myself pep talks all day and am now ready to beat my inner cheerleader to a pulp.

And I did really well on Monday's exam, so even if I don't get an A on this one, I'll at least have a little room for error.

This is all terribly fascinating, I'm sure.  Sometimes I read my past entries and just marvel at how boring my life is, and how often I can talk about the most random stuff.



(Just for the record, I'm no longer on the phone.  My family grew frustrated with my monosyllabic responses.  Whatever - I'm actually going home for the weekend, so they'll get the benefit of my glorious company and sparkling conversation then.  [/ego])

Anyway, now I can start studying for my Mythology exam in earnest (for some reason I'm particularly motivated to kick ass on that test, probably because I'm actually interested in the material), and maybe I'll actually write something this weekend.  I have a chapter of Accepting Irony to finish - I know how I want it to go, I just need to get it written, is all.  The eighth chapter is actually unexpectedly lighthearted, but that was partially done on purpose - it gets more dramatic very soon, so I wanted to compensate a little bit.

I'm also considering participating in NaNoWriMo this year.  Tentatively considering.  But moilio sent me the link to the site, and the more I think about it the more I want to try.  If anything, it'll at least force me to get off my ass and accomplish something, even if it's utter crap.  At least it's crap I can edit later.  The only problem is school - I can't say I'm willing to let it interfere with studying and so on, especially since I have to keep up my GPA so I can keep my scholarships.  We'll see.  At least I have a very vague plot idea - that's a start.

Did not realize I had this much to say.  But I think I'll go to bed now...damn early classes.

Ah, yes, T.V. Now would be a great time to go on the fritz, given that the fourth season of House premiers today.

Stupid machine! Either I find a way to fix it before the show comes on (unlikely, given my complete lack of technological expertise), or I hijack someone else's T.V. (much more likely.)

Anyway, today: Stats quiz and Biology exam, neither of which I feel fully prepared for because as I was trying to study for one, I was worrying about the other, and both of which I have to walk through a thunderstorm to get to. What part of this don't I like again?

Oh, right.

All of it.

Still, I should get some last-minute studying in. And the Stats quiz is open book, open notes, so hopefully if I forget how to do something I'll be able to figure it out quickly. Although that might be hard to do when the stupid county is testing its severe weather sirens right in the middle of the quiz. (Don't they think it might be a little confusing, given that the sirens very well might have validity given that it is storming outside? Iowa, the logic meter is reading zero.)
