midterms are over

and so midterms are over. today i had my last two midterms...philosophy and world literature. the philosophy test wasn't too bad, 50 questions all multiple choice. i studied pretty hard for that one. but the english test...horrible. everyone had a hard time..because it covered so much material, in such a short amount of time. but we'll see how that goes.

today, i'm pretty much relaxing. right now i'm sitting outside on a bench under a tree. it's really relaxing here, and i think that's what i need, just some time alone to gather all my thoughts that have scattered while midterms were going on. i just need some time alone because i realized this week i've become very irritable, and have a tendency to snap at people. depression has been another small factor into this week, but now after i've gotten a couple hours of sun, fresh air, and quiet...i'm feeling much better. as i was sitting on my bench, my friend Nathan came over, so we were just talking and hanging out. he told me that tonight is a "scream-fest." this has been going on all week...at 10:10 p.m. everynight this midterm week, people gather in front of Kiewit Hall, and you scream at the top of your lungs, letting out all your stress and worries. i missed it last night, but i'm definitely going to tonight's one. this might be the last one until finals week. so i'm definitely in on this one..need to let out some stress. can't wait till 10:10 tonight! :-)

so just a couple more days until i'm in San Jose! hopefully things will be better there.
