Exams

The semester is over and all that is left are final exams. I spent most of the weekend working on the essay questions my history professor gave us. Essentially he gives us the questions that will be on the exam so that we know what will be on it. Unfortunatly the questions are very specific and he demands perfection from our responses. One wrong move can take an essay from an A to a B or even a C if you are not careful. It’s a fine line to walk.

In between studying I managed to find time to clean the apartment. By the way, the room mate has moved out. Kevin needed to head back to TC in preparation for yet another move. This will be taking him out to Texas where his girlfriend is planning to buy a house. He plans to move in with her once it is purchased and start his life yet again in a new state. Bless that boy for his tenacity but I think he is going a little extreme. I tried to understand the sudden urgency to pack up and head back home. I guess not having to pay rent or bills is a major factor. There is a lot about that situation that confuses me. For one, I find it odd that he refuses to make any long term commitments to his own well being. Willingness to put others ahead of yourself is noble for sure and an admirable trait, but what good is that when you have problems paying your own bills? If all this time at the university and living on your own is that life takes some serious planning. I hope everything turns out well in the end, but for now I am concerned.

My brother stopped by this afternoon to say hi and to get some lunch. We watched a few episodes of Star Trek Deep Space Nine and he helped me clean a bit before heading off for other adventures. I like his random visits. He has been complaining about his out of date computer for months so for Christmas my mom and I are going to get him some parts for a new computer. He will end up having to spend a little money to finish the project but we will spend the money on the essentials. I got him an AMD X2 dual core 6400+ as well as a motherboard, power supply and a really nice case. That should get him started; even though I will be the one to put it together. C’est la vive.

I managed to snag a few good visits to Holly’s place this weekend too. Man she makes a killer good cup of coffee. We sat out on her patio and smoked a little while we talked. She recently broke up with her boyfriend of over a year and a half but despite her broken heart has managed to snag a date this week with a new boy. She has got it going on! I am impressed; the new guy pretty good looking too.

I am so getting drunk after exams are over on Wednesday. I don’t care if anyone else can. If I have to I will just go get me a bottle of gin and party at home. No, I’m not an alcoholic…
