It's finals week. And it's cold. Fuunnnn..
Last weekend I spent approximately 15 hours at the library. It was not fun at all. Trust me. Yesterday I had two finals: speech and physics.
My speech final was at 7:30 in the morning, so I was very happy to be waking up at 6am...NOT. It made it even better when I got to walk across campus in the 1 degree whether. No joke. It was 1 degree. Just 1. And the wind chill was -15. It was swell. But my final was fine (not that I was worried) and I got an A.
At 2:00, I had my physics final. If you've been following my blog lately, you would know that I'd have to miserably fail that test to lose my A in the class. (so, again, I wasn't worried) That one also went well...I took it in just 15 minutes. Haha.
After my exams, four of my friends and I packed up my car to go back home. Yesterday, I drove the five of us back to go to BV's choir concert. Before the show, we met a bunch of other alumni for dinner. IT WAS SO GREAT. I was so happy to reunite with everyone and we had a blast. At the concert, I got to see more friends AND we all got to go onstage and sing the Hallelujah Chorus, which is always the finale of the Holiday Concert. That part was weird...but good...just weird. It felt very strange to be back there onstage. I was happy though. When the concert ended, several of us went to iHop for more reuniting, and that was fun, as well.
In case you hadn't noticed, it snowed today. A lot. The roads were bad all day, but I had to get back to Manhattan tonight because I have, yet another, 7:30 final tomorrow. Before leaving though, I met my mom at Houlihan's for lunch because it's her birthday. (HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!)
Tonight, I'm extremely tired and plan to go to bed around 9 (since I have to get up at 6), but there is a good chance I won't fall asleep until about midnight. In the morning, I am going to breakfast with my friend, Callie, and then we are going to walk through the dark/cold/snow to take our Macroeconomics final. (By the way, I'm not worried about this one either...I have a 98% in the class and an 87% is an A. Ha.)
My last final is Thursday night at 7. It is in Spanish and is sure to be my most difficult, but, like the others, there is almost no chance of losing my A in the class. After that, it will FINALLY be winter break! I am soooo excited to have no class or homework for A MONTH! On friday, I will be packing up and driving back home.
Can't wait to see everyone!

Dead Week
Hello all!
I am posting right now because I, literally, have nothing else to do. That's right. My life has never been emptier than it is right now. Because it is "dead week," (the week before finals where teachers don't really assign anything) I have no homework. The two small assignments I do have are already done. So, I'm sitting in the library with Hannah and her friend, Liz, doing nothing. They are both jealous because they each have a 10 page Sociology paper do tomorrow, but they shouldn't be too envious because I am extremely bored. I have done everything I can possibly think of to entertain myself: I read Steph's blog, looked at my sister's grades (sorry I'm bored...good job in math though!), stalked people on facebook, looked at my grades, checked my e-mail, and so on. There aren't even any interesting people on facebook for me to chat with. Don't get me wrong, I am very thankful to have no homework, but I am sooooo bored!!!
Anyway, that's really all I have to say.
Now I'm going to go doodle on my Spanish binder.

Fail. -well sorta
Well the results are in!
I had my fourth and final physics test this morning and...I got a 95%. I didn't reach my goal of getting over 100% on all four exams, but I can deal for two reasons: 1) I saw it coming. After I took the test, I knew I probably hadn't done it. 2) Our lowest test score is dropped from our grade, so it doesn't even matter. My grade in the class is still 104.67%. Not too shabby. While it is still a little dissappointing that I did not accomplish my goal, I think I'll live with my grade. Now let's just see how the final goes!
