I come to you not from my nice, sometimes clean and very spacious suite in the dorms but tonight I sit and write from a small, slightly elevated corner of the 4th (commonly regarded as the social) floor of the Hartwick College library – I think it's got some name of some famous old dude who probably gave a ship load of cash to the school but I couldn’t be sure of the history and do him the justice he deserves so I'll just leave it at “the lib”!!
So here I am, 3 days in and 3 of 5 finals deep.
Now the truth comes out…in an earlier blog I seemed to give off a sense of there being a lack of importance to these end of semester finals in which I currently partake. Well, for the sake of my family who read these little tidbits and believe I am the perfect student that every professor wishes for (haha), it seems you read and understood me slightly wrong!! They hold significant influence over your grades …..
And on that note you will understand why I have left “the lib” in the last 3 days only to buy red bull (on sale at the moment 3 for $5 at the local petrol station), pee, eat or sit an ‘extremely important’ exam!! Its nuts!!! I am suddenly regretting my venture home (umm NO I’m not!!), for the simple reason of missing a few too many classes that I am now left to teach myself the course material!! (So lucky my mums a teacher – it cant be too hard…right??) So I am surviving right now on less that 4 hours sleep in 3 days and a luxury cruise liner (rather than a mere ship) load of coffee (we even have our own personal percolator thingee here because the coffee cart ran out of coffee – honestly its exam week, how does that happen??), and red bull (thank god for that little place in Switzerland that producers that wonderful stuff – yes I have read the can THAT many times).
I apologize for my rather ‘random’ blog but under this weeks circumstances I believe I can be forgiven!! Ohh how I love exams!!
So like I said 3 deep – they haven’t been bad, only one was hard – well actually tested me - accounting and I think I came out with a pretty good feeling so I was stoked!! And the other two were a bit of a joke!!
So I must run now. First sleep of more than 2 hours in one go for a while. No exam now until 4pm tomorrow. Will be a good nights sleep, a good workout in the morning and then straight back into it right here in this very spot I have claimed my own!!
Catch up soon, wish me luck!! & for the rest out there experiencing the same thing…I wish you well – “it gives you wiiings”
