Dum dee dum dum

Now that classes are done, I find my self with an ample amount of free time. This is an illusion, for I do have exams coming up, but I feel unmotivated to study. I have been studying, never fear, and it has gone quite well. I find it so dull! I don't know why I feel like I have to be entertained constantly. Perhaps that is one of my failings. I am working on it. Once I start studying, then I'm normally good to go for a while. I just don't understand why exams need to exist. I realize that I do need to prove that I have learned something through the semester, but I would rather write a paper, or give a presentation. I do get to write a paper, actually several papers, but in a 2 hour time slot. That amount of pressure does not help me to write fluid, comprehensible papers. Exams kill me, and there's nothing I can do but prepare. Prepare, prepare, prepare. Blah.

Next year, these will not be my main concerns. I wonder what will fill their place? Rather than freaking out about finishing essays on time, what will I be worried about instead? That's a scary thought in and of itself. I don't want to focus on this, because it's silly to worry about what may be worrying me in the future. But it will end up being one of those things that keeps me up at night.

I got to see my friend Heather today. We went out for Bread Pudding at Stella's. If you've never been, or you've had it, you need to, tout suite. It is delicious. Catching up with her was also good. She is headed into an exciting summer of world traveling and mission work. She heads to Zambia on the 27th of April. I am insanely jealous. She will have all these amazing experiences, and I will be working in a warehouse. She had taken the year off to work and save for this trip, so she's earned it. I wish I was doing something amazing. I don't really know what, or how to guarantee it would be amazing. I'll figure it out..

Taryn is coming over for night tonight. I hope I can keep her entertained. I've realized I don't really know her, which makes me oddly nervous for tonight. I also have an exam tomorrow, so perhaps this wasn't the best timing for sister bonding. Oh well, we'll make it work.

Went and hung out with my parents yesterday. Dad's in the city for PowerSchool stuff, and is staying at a hotel. I went to visit him, and Mom drove out from Altona. We had pizza and watched Big Bang Theory. Dad wasn't feeling the greatest, so we just lazed about in his room. It was nice to leave campus. If anyone is ever in the city, text or call me, and I will tag along on whatever errands you're running. I'm quite personable  or so I've been told. I promise not to be too much of a hassle.

I hope everyone's weeks are going well. I'll see you around.

love,
