I seem to have a lot of weird zen moments. My current one is sitting in my room and eating broccoli cheese soup out of a dining hall to-go cup, reading some good medieval literature, and outlining my next essay on the prevalence of friendship during Ancient times. Everything I does screams Classics major…

Today I accomplished shaving, doing my laundry (which in itself is an adventure), going to the gym (and burning 762 calories on the elliptical. Hells to the yeah), and… that’s it. I think I said in some previous blog that I was getting thai food with some people, but that never happened, but it is tonight! For real this time!

Except I got guilted into it, so I’m not all that excited. Some people I just don’t want to spend extra time with. But the food should be good.

I got high Bs on both of my midterms. The fact I did so well on my first environmental policy test made me ecstatic (even if the teacher did have to add 10 points to everyones grade as a curve, but college is all about curving, so who cares), though the Roman Civ grade made me fume a little. I didn’t even get anything wrong. I just didn’t list specific information the TA was looking for. Like, “oh, look, you didn’t mention this random date in your summary of this piece of literature. Guess I have to take off 2 points”. Gr. Oh well. I’m over it.

I can’t believe I’m halfway done my first semester. Soon we meet with our advisors to go over classes for next semester. Soon we pick housing for next year. Soon I get to go spend a month at home with no impending doom of tests or homework. Life is pretty snazzy.

Though I did just finish my soup. Sad.

TELL ME ABOUT MONDAY. YOUR POST WAS SO CONFUSING.
