Wow, I have no knowledge of why, but I feel awful today.  Ever since I woke up I’ve had a nagging headache that hasn’t subsided even after Advil.  Also my head is stuffed up.  I’m not sure if this is a cold or what.  Or maybe allergies?  Whatever it is, it’s not very fun.

While being under the weather, today I tried to put a dent in my huge workload that is school.  I understand lots of people have just as much to do as me, but I’m not so good at managing it.  I’m not much of a procrastinator but I do get overwhelmed with all I have to do which makes it harder to focus.  I did a lot done today despite that and I’ll try to keep plugging away bit by bit every day.

Hm, right now it’s getting pretty late and I still feel very achy so I’m going to call it a night very soon.  I wasted some precious time this evening browsing the applications in the App store.  I don’t know how Apple does it, but they manage to continually profit even after suckers like myself have purchased their overpriced iPods.  It’s ingenious, really.  I have found lots of great free apps but I’m very tempted to buy a few that do cost money.  I need to resist the urge!

Off to bed now.  Good night/morning everyone!

I’m not cut out for a lot of things, but right now I’m referring to the weather.  The twitter says it all!  About the hottest it can go before I launch into an It’s Too Hot™ campaign is 20°C.   Thank god I won’t be in Ontario for the hottest part of the Summer, but it still horrifies me to think it’s this hot in mid April..

So I took the science exam.  I’m both glad it’s other with and at the same time want to do it over again.  For one, I guess I majorly understudied for the Earth science part, because I barely knew it. Heh. I thought I had all the bases covered. :urgh:

The next thing that went wrong was the librarian cut me off at 2 hours.  And he wasn’t pleasant about it. That’s not fair because, yes, the exams are scheduled as 2 hours, but you are given an extra hour if you need it.  That’s 3 hours, bastard.  Yet it didn’t occur to my passive, glazed over self * that I did in fact have an extra hour, until I hit submit, gathered my stuff and went downstairs to the main floor.   Despite my failure to realize this, the guy was wrong regardless.  Honestly, with an exception of a rare few, my experience with librarians have been unpleasant.  Of all the librarians I’ve come across, I’ve maybe met one that was kind.  I’ve encountered many, however, that either have no personality, are in a permanent bad mood or barely seem to breathe they’re so unresponsive.  And usually it’s all of the above.  Of course this is a stereotype, that has definitely been proved true in lots of cases, but not all.  But this is my personal experience and this guy that very well might’ve fucked over my exam is another strike in favour of that theory.

So all in all, I’m not sure how well I did.  I don’t know how this works but, the good news is my final mark in the coursework part of Science was 97%, which counts for 80% of the final grade.  If the final exam counts for 20%. and I got let’s just say 50% on that, what would be my overall percentage grade? Anyone?

EDIT: Figured that out, that was obvious.
