My English midterm sucked. I felt like I coped with it as best I could, spending lots of time on the essays that were worth more points, and spending the last 10 minutes or so trying to figure out what poems the passage IDs were from. I know some of them were wrong. But, I can't change it now so I'll try not to worry (too much).

Chad locked himself out of his car at Woodman's, so I had to go and pick him up. On the way back, a saw a curl running in the street but couldn't swerve at all due to other traffic, and felt a small bump. I made the very, very bad decision of looking in my rear-view mirror. Twitching. Chad made an effort to console me that it wasn't my fault, but I'm still pretty horrified about the entire thing. I like squirrels. :(

I went to a liturgy planning group at church, and it's the first time I've been a part of a small group that's church-related since high school. It will take some getting used to. Especially because now they're going to meet at 7am on Fridays! Who does that! Apparently me. I'm not too concerned, as I'm at work by 8:00 anyway. Also, James is bringing us doughnuts, and was careful to have me describe my absolute favorite (chocolate doughnut, chocolate frosting, white cream filling). It could be worth it!

I feel like most of today was me reflecting on life instead of paper-writing, but I guess that's okay to do once in a while, and probably good for mental health during midterm time. Also, Megan has mercilessly rekindled my interest in the JET program, so now I have something to think about for post-college plans.

An interesting read from a Wiscon friend of mine!
Busting stereotypes that peg feminists as ugly lesbians, a new study shows that having a feminist partner is linked with healthier, more romantic heterosexual relationships. Because equality is always healthy! You should do it!

Ugh, the last couple of days have sucked a lot. I have a midterm at 11:00 today, and I'll be glad when it's over. It'll probably be scary, though. I was all settled in to study last night, and then, of course, I fell asleep until 2:30am. I then studied until 3:30 and went to sleep. And now I feel exhausted. It just sucks. I'm probably about as prepared for the midterm as I would be anyway, but I had really wanted to work on a paper that I have due Monday, as today I'll get a take-home exam emailed to me, and will then have two things to worried about.

I just hope that I can get a lot done tomorrow at work.

I received the grades for the presentation and paper I've done already in my Women in Medieval Literature class, and they were both really good. Now, though, I'm afraid to get my Women's Studies midterm back. The last thing I need is a confidence-destroyer right before my other English midterm!

Bahhhh. At least half my classes were canceled today, for reasons unbeknownst to me. So while Thursday's usually suck, today I'll hopefully actually be able to get a draft of a paper written, and outline the take-home thingie.

The more time that goes by, the more anxious I get about figuring out plans for after graduation, but of course I don't have time to deal with that right now. I really hate that when you're 17-22, the questions people always, always ask you are always the same: "Where are you going to college?" Then, once that's figured out, "What's your major? Ohhhhh....so what are you going to do with that?" Then, once that's figured out, "So what are you going to do after you graduate?" And always, at all of these points, there's the question, "So are you dating anyone?" Because if you're not, there's clearly something wrong with you! Society is stupid. Lately, I dislike conversing with anyone and kind of wish that all I ever had to do was read books all day. So much more enjoyable.

Yeah, guess who needs more sleep?
