1/8

Finals occur next week...thus, this post will be short, as life's a bit crazy right now. I have a Humanities portfolio due Friday along with a CS project that my partner and I have almost finished prettying up. It's weird...pretty soon, I'll be home again. I don't know what I'm going to do for a month.

This weekend will probably prove to be nice, though. Friday night is Eastmas Eve, which should be nice and festive, followed by Saturday noon's Eastmas celebrations and Saturday night's Casemas party, in which there will be SNOW. I'm excited. It's going to be fun. Plus, hopefully I'm going to get a chance to go climbing this weekend. Sometime in here I'm going to study and take finals as well, but I'm feeling okay about classes right now. Physics seems potentially scary, but that's about it.

I'm sort of excited to see how next week turns out. We don't have a study week before finals, like the "Reading week" at other colleges, but we do have Quiet Days over the next week...that is, during the next week dorms are not allowed to be noisy at all, due to the many tests being taken and the studying occurring. However, restricting us to be noise-free 24/7 would be both sad and illogical, so we have "noisy minutes", or 15-minute periods every day in which great amounts of noise are produced by any means necessary, such that we won't go insane with the quiet.


I'm frankly intrigued by the amount of quiet spare time I'll have next week...I have one final each due Monday and Tuesday, one in class each on Wednesday and Thursday, and I'm not leaving campus until Saturday. Should be nice. But I'm sort of already anxious to start second semester, as I'm super-happy about my schedule. Hmm hmm hmm.

  1. How to survive the holidays:
    1) Assume 2 of those weeks is filled with holiday stuff
    2) Assume the other 3 are not. Fill them with an external HD full of stuff off the network, meeting HS friends, or learning a new language.
    3) I left a 1 week buffer intentionally. Plan accordingly.
