Not gonna lie: a lot of things about the past three and a half months have kind of sucked. But the classes themselves have not sucked at all.
I am currently working on the take-home final for the class for which I was the least prepared. In doing so, I am looking over my notes. This was the first class ever which I have taken notes on my laptop. I just got the laptop for Christmas, and my other two classes this semester were not paced in such a way that I felt I had to type notes to keep up.
The whole reason I am blogging when I should be working on my final: these notes are freaking hilarious. Shall I share? I think I shall.
Yes, they are out of context. That's what makes them funny.

This is also the class that gave me an anxiety dream about the professor giving me a grade of -112. That's NEGATIVE one hundred and twelve. I don't know how my brain came up with that particular number. But in the dream, it was very real, and that of course canceled out of my good grades and flunked me out of the program.
That was when I realized I was taking everything way too seriously.
