Four Midterms. Two Days. One Concerned Dude.

I have a whole lot of studying to do for the four midterms I have in the next two days, but I feel like writing about nothing before I get started. It is 6:30pm and I haven't even started yet. If I'm going to get anything at all done I'm going to need to go to the library and crank this shit out, otherwise I will fail, guaranteed. I finished watching Game of Thrones today though. That show is brilliant. The show started and ended (season one) with strong elements of fantasy without making a big deal about it as the season progressed. Season two is going to be a completely different show and I'm thrilled to bits about that. I have a midterm tomorrow for a class that I've done nothing for. We're supposed to have been doing four approximate readings per week for the past eight weeks and I've only done one of them. The exam is going to likely be over a whole lot of material that I'm completely unaware of. Fortunately for me it is a class based around global population and the issues related to it. Most of the issues we cover are remarkably intuitive. I'm hoping that the multiple choice section will be cake and the written portion will be easy to bullshit. My goal going into this semester was to give myself too much to handle to see if I would concur it. I've fallen victim to it, of course. I got a D on my Astronomy midterm. I would put more effort forward but there isn't anyone getting on my ass to tell me to try harder. I keep rationalizing my behavior by saying that once something is over, there isn't anything I can do about it. I don't work on something all the way up until it is due and then say, oh well, I couldn't have done anything about it. Shrug. Move on. Bullshit. There is a library here that stays open until 3am. If I care at all about my academic well being I will go there very soon and stay there until it closes. For tomorrow I just need to memorize a lot of information for this population class and then do a lot of studying for an Italian oral exam I have, which I shouldn't do too bad in. Again, I just need to memorize things. The exams I have on Friday shouldn't be too difficult. I have an exam for my Renaissance course, which I already know more or less exactly what I need to study. The most difficult thing for Friday will be the piece I have to memorize and perform for my Theatre Storytelling and Solo Performance class. Immediately after I perform I'm going to leave early so that I can catch a flight back to Cedar Rapids where I can take comfort in doing nothing for a week, much like I do now. For some further explanation, my academic life is shitty, but my mindset is clearing up. You wouldn't be able to tell from looking at me that I'm doing better because the acne on my face makes me and my life look similar to chaos and I also haven't shaved in days, for fear of cutting a lot of the acne and making my face bleed all over. PUBERTY!! Fucking yipee. Seeing as it takes me ages to do any kind of homework whatsoever, I'll likely actually be in the library until 3am so I may as well leave now. My goal is to stay awake all night. Once I get back from the library, I'll hopefully keep studying and then go for a run at 5:45 when the gym opens which'll certainly keep my awake until my exam at 8:15am. I still have no idea what I'm going to memorize and perform. Ah who am I kidding, I'm stressed. These next two days are going to be tough. But, again, once 12:30 on Friday roles around I can immediately be stress free and relax and all that jazz over the spring break, which I really don't need to go on and could talk about for an entire other post. Something I may do come the actual spring break in a couple days. Bye for now.
