faire les degrés || to make the grades

Ugh... it's been a long week, and it's going to get rougher. Yep, that's that time. End of the semester = final exams, which = sleep deprivation, stress-induced cardiac arrest, and making the library your permenant residence for the next week.
Actually, thus far I think I am holding up pretty well. I've already got one exam out of the way -- l'examen du français. I actually wasn't going to sweat this one too much-- I've gotten good grades on almost all of my tests... the last couple were decent. I just knew I had to hit that material harder. So, I did. I opted to came in to class for review sessions all week and I stayed up until 2:30 am this morning, working for three and a half hours on a comprehensive practice exam compiled of questions from previous exams. Heh, I actually didn't end up using much it that much, because by that point in time, I was so out of it that I couldn't think straight to do the practice test. Ha, ah well. I'm glad I put all the time into it though. The exam was actually much easier than I had anticipated, so I was more than prepared for most of the material. Here's to hoping!
That leaves... four more. Three of them are on Tuesday. It sucks to have three exams on one day like that, but at the same time, I'll get them all out of the way early on, leaving me a day just to focus on Communication Theory. Now that one is going to suck, because not only are Jodi's test are ridiclous, but Josh, Branden, and I are forunate enough to be taking three exams that day. There's the final, and then two unit tests that we have to make up from when we were at Nationals. So, three exams... back to back to back... it's gonna be fun. I'd like to think that if I could convince Jodi that triple exam slam is harboring on Cultivation Theory and will thus result in aggressive behavior from us if we are forced to take them all that she would let us off...
yeah... I don't buy it either. I tried.
So, I've got this whole weekend now... to... study! Yeah! Nick and are going to have a biology studying party tonight. I know, you're so jealous, right? Ha, happy cinco de mayo to you, too! But really, it's necessary. That class is the most ridiculous thing I have ever had the misfortune to be apart of. I'm not even gonna get started on it, because my arm is already twitching enough from stress... and has been since Thursday. Heh, heh...
Well, I'm off to Chic-Fil-A to score some nuggets and waffle fries before hitting the books. Nick and I are gonna grab dinner somewhere as a lame make-up for his birthday yesterday-- we didn't do anything exciting-- oh wait! We hunted for leaves on the quad to mail home to my brother for his project. Yeah, that was rockin' awesome. And that's all I got.
