What do I do now?

Our horrendous exam schedule is now over. We had 3 exams 2 Fridays ago, a final last Monday for our biochem class that was ending, then 2 exams each Wednesday and Friday. It was a rough week. I did fairly well on all of the exams. Slightly lower than what I expected in Neuroscience, but that's life. Tuesday and Thursday were reading days, so we had no class. However, both days I got to the library at 8 and both days I stayed until 11 pm or so with only a 30 min break or so for lunch and dinner. It was nice at first to not have class, labs, demos, small groups, etc. but that feeling quickly wore off. We basically spent the week hopped up on caffeine staring at our computer screens. It was definitely one of the hardest weeks to survive thus far, but it did go by remarkably fast, though. The good thing is that we don't have exams until mid April, I think, if not later. Also, with spring break in 2 weeks and not much to really have to do, it should be a nice relaxing time until break. It was funny, this past weekend I didn't really know what to do with my time. I kinda forgot what I used to do with spare time. Weird.

Oh yea and Friday was Unofficial St. Patrick's day. It was started by a bar owner on campus in the 90's because the real St. Patrick's day was usually during break and he wanted to make money off of it. So it is basically a day when the people that would never get up early to do anything, including go to class most of the time, get up usually before 6:00 am to drink all day long. Campus is nuts and there are police everywhere. Luckily, we were done with exams at around 9:30 Friday morning. We ended up going to Kam's, which is basically the dumpiest bar on campus. We went because one of the guys with us wanted to go and we were closest to Kam's, so we went, and yes it did smell like vomit inside. Well in line there was Jenna Pearson herself along with her grad school friends. So we had the pleasure of hanging out with her all day. It was a blast and exactly what we needed after virtually 2 weeks of straight studying. And no, we didn't go at 9:30 when we were done. I had time to workout, eat, and clean my disgusting apartment before. Below is a before and after picture.

I'd like to say I don't usually live like this, but oftentimes I do find myself stepping over clothes, papers, you name it. I would also attribute the added messiness to the fact that I was only home to eat and sleep for 2 weeks, so took no time to clean anything.

Well, friends, that's about all I have to say about that.

Oh yea heres some pictures of mark sleeping on Christmas. Forgot I had them.

K bye!!
