Exams: now you see them, now you don't

So, as it turns out, I don't really know when my exams are going to happen. They had it up on info web, then they took it down. Go figure. Af first when I saw it, it has Dec. 8, 9, 11, 12. (yes, 4 in five days). I know that isn't that bad, and many people are happy with that, but I am not to happy with it. I'd rather have at least a day between exams. More like 2. But, as my dad said, they will be the last exams that I will ever write. I think that he may be wrong, but I am sure that he is close. ;-)

I started to get really down today about everything closing in on me already, but then I got into my car on the way home the the CD that Laura made for me started playing that old song Don't Worry, Be Happy, and I went, ya, I should be. I have no reason NOT to be happy. I have food, a roof over my head, people that love me, and just about every convience there is. Some times I just forget just how lucky I am, and how most of the crap that I stress over every day is just that: crap. When I finish school, most of this will not matter. It won't matter if in a class I get 6 / 10 or 9.9 / 10. I'll sleep soundly either way. It surprises me just how often I lose sight of that. Don't sweat the petty things (and don't pet the sweaty things!)
Listening to: Ben Harper - Strawberry Fields

    Oddly enough, I'm finding this semester to be the least stressful one so far.
    Basically I've realized that I need to start *all* my stuff early (which is actually working) or I'm just plain fucked (not an option).
    That and the fact that each course reduces down to a P/F this time around (for me at least since my GPA is nothing to write home about).

    Ya, I am starting to feel the same way. But I don't want my GPA to drop too much, not that I will awards or anything, I just want it for my own pride.
    That and I think that I will get a Gold Star! ;-) It's all about the gold stars baby! Ya!

    Ah, so this is a blog :O) I think I get it now. Very snazzy. Hmm, I guess I am supposed to insert intelligent comment here....Don't Worry Be Happy is an awesome tune, and Bobby McFerrin is my cousin....ha ha ha...ok, maybe not, I just wish he was. He`s actually my dad. Ok, so that might not be true either....But I think my dad might know the song - pretty cool, eh? Ok, that`s all I`ve got to contribute. Happy election day! See you later, bloggers! Gold stars all around.

    I'm one of the people who loves the exam schedule with them all scrunched together at the beginning. I usually don't study too much for exams, and as long as i have ample time to sleep in between them, i figure i should be alright...
