it is not going to be pretty...
so i have had other ideas for posts, but they did not happen. so instead, you get me whining about the fact that finals are upon us.
now i wouldn't even realize this if it weren't for other people. these people include: all those people in the library, my friends who are asking me for old outlines, and my friends who are talking about working on their outlines. you see, while some people like to count the days til finals start, i prefer to count the days til they end. which means we've got nearly a whole month! ok, maybe more like 3 weeks, but the rounding up helps with the freaking out. (oh, and i am totally going to be the only 3L here for about a week. everyone else is taking off early. i am sticking around to put off finals. plus, i figure that as a fringe benefit, the 1Ls get very drunk that last night and maybe i can get one of the weak away from the herd.)
anyways, instead of working, i have spent the last 4 days making 200 peanut butter balls, rolling them by hand, and dipping them in various chocolate concoctions. and then wrapping these up with various other tasty treats and colorful notes and candy canes and ribbons! doesn't that sound better than finals!?!?! i thought so too. (to be fair, i tried to listen to the trusts & estates tapes while doing some of this, but it turns out that even with the earbuds directly in your ears, you don't have to listen when someone is talking to you. particularly when that person is talking about trusts and estates. in the end, i think that ignoring the trusts & estates man for 3 hours only made me more panicked.)
in conclusion, what i have decided is that i am not actually to the thinking about finals yet, tho the other bastards are making me vaguely aware that they're out there. i'm still trying to just plod thru the usual stuff. but i'm at the point where i'm becoming aware enough that i start to feel panicked, but it's a bit buried and i'm just slightly hyperventilatey and tense, but not panicked enough to do anything about it. and i know what this means. the next phases are not pretty. they are very not pretty at all. (especially since i'm already eating chinese leftovers in the middle of the afternoon when i'm not even hungry. this could get uglier than ever before.)
in further conclusion, any notes or outlines you would like to send me from trusts & estates or telecom would be very welcome. very welcome indeed.
