Didn&#8217;t quite go out with a bang like I wanted (has there ever been a semester where I do?), but oh well.<\/p>\n<p>I think every semester so far, grades have gradually dipped throughout the semester because I get to the point where I don&#8217;t care anymore and just turn in shit for assignments. It happened in 80180, 18100, and 213 this semester. I need to stop doing that.<\/p>\n<p>Grades for four of my six classes are known. 213 should be an A (if it&#8217;s not, something is wrong, because I have a 92% average from everything with no curve). 312, 62141, and 21301 are all As (confirmed in SIO). That means I only need either 80180 or 18100 to be As to get Dean&#8217;s List. Hopefully I was able to do well enough on the finals to get it.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m so screwed up. I do fine in school&#8230; but I can&#8217;t help but feel like I could always do better. I mean, dammit, I would be so sad if I got two Bs this semester&#8230; and that&#8217;s just incredibly stupid and pompous of me. I need to get a life and stop being such a horrible person.<\/p>\n<p>So yeah, the two finals today went&#8230; um&#8230; they went, at least. After my &#8220;Oh, I nailed that exam&#8221; reactions in 213 and 312, and finding out that I got Bs on both, I&#8217;m going to stop predicting my performance. I&#8217;ll just say that I should have done better than I did&#8230; I should have felt more comfortable with the material than I did. I should have made fewer mistakes on both. Oh well.<\/p>\n<p>Last night was an amazing food party with 8&#8217;s amazing cooking. Yum yum yum.<\/p>\n<p>Um&#8230; what else&#8230; I am incredibly emotional right now for reasons (mostly) unknown. Finals == stress. Gaah. I&#8217;ve gone from completely ecstatic to crying at Alisa&#8217;s apartment for an hour to completely ecstatic to sad in the past 2 days. I must be PMSing. Meh. At least now they&#8217;re done, and I don&#8217;t have to worry about them again. I still feel really down right now, and I don&#8217;t know why. Gaah. People should give me hugs, especially if you&#8217;re people that I won&#8217;t see again until next year.<\/p>\n<p>*siiigh*<br \/>\nFor once, I&#8217;m not looking forward to heading home at all. I want to stay here with people. People make me happy. Lack of people makes me sad. Home means lack of people since everyone&#8217;s always too busy for me. Oh well.<\/p>\n<p>I should probably head home to finish packing soon so I can give stuff to Alisa to store for now.<br \/>\nBlah blah blah no one reads this anyway, why do I even bother?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, there goes the semester.
