just as Fran would say "WOOOOOOWWW!!" and Joanna "WHHHOOAA!" my history exam is FINALLY done! this has definately been the longest week ever! i have been studying ALL week. tuesday and wednesday were, i think, the most instense two days i've ever had, regarding to school. i've never been so fond of the serenity and peacefulness and quiet in my library. i have also discovered my favorite floor to work on! (i'm such a nerd) it is the 4th floor cubbies by the right side wall after u get out of the elevators. yesterday, i stayed there 5 hours non-stop. the kitchen at my rez is also a great place to work, when allison mel and joanna are quiet. tuesday, i worked 4 and a half hours (approx.) non-stop, taking notes. and it was great. until evening came and my roommates got all loud and siht. i was SOOOOO pissed off, cuz i actually really wanted to work. like, holy fuck!! anyways, then i called matty, and we had to sort some stuff out and then i got so tired, i couldn't take anymore notes. i was so pissed off about that, because i planned to do all my notes that day, then do my two prepared essays yesterday, then study everything today. but nooooo. and yes, i did shed tears...throughout the day. that was how stressed and upset i was. the next day, which was yesterday, i got up, ate a bit, had lunch with steve, Ian and his friend from his building, then went to the bookstore to look around with Steve, then at 1, headed to the library and buckled down to work. i did not stop til 6!! 5 full hours of intense note taking! and i didn't even finish. i had one chapter left to do, but i really had to start my prepared essays. i went back to my rez first though, and celebrated (sorta) allison's birthday. then i went back to the library at 7:30 to start my essay. didn't get much done. called Francine for help. she invited me over to do work with all of them (yay music girlies at Conrad!) so i went there...wasted so much time waiting for them to pick me up. i was really focused at working, and definately did not want to waste precious minutes standing around. anyways, the only good thing that got out of the whole night was that Amy explained to me what the first essay wanted us to write. that was about it. i basically wasted a whole night. i was so mad. i was literally on the EDGE. i was SO stressed out. i talked to matty on the phone for about an hour. more tears, more mean stuff said (mostly on my part), and more tissues, and still no work done. got off the phone, and me and Francine worked tilll...no joke, past 4am!!yeah....anyways, this morning Liz came into our room at 8:30 am to wake us up, and Francine told her that we went to bed at 4, so just take her notes and leave. she did. i went back to sleep. woke up again at 9, started reading off my people index cards. didn't get too far when i fell asleep again. woke up at ten. actually got up, dressed went back to my rez, took a nice long shower, then started my essay. i was going to go to the library, but i decided against it, cuz that will waste time. so i did my essay outlines, then headed to the library to take notes. 4pm: i headed to the dining hall, cuz i thought everyone was studying there, but the only ppeople there were katie, Liz James and Brendon. so i ate lunch (first thing i ate the whole day except for two pieces of toast...so hungeee!) then wnet back to library, but couldn't study anymore. i was all studied out. my head hurt like a bitch, and i was seriously getting sleepy. had an hour left to kill....decided to go back to dining hall, but saw Warren studying in the Concourse so i just stayed there with him and his friends (who were studying business) and read read my notes. then steve and that girl i always talk to in theory (i feel bad...i dont know her name). we walked to the T.A together and waited til exam. it was nerve-wracking! anyways, when we got our exam, we found out that only only were there the two prepared essays, there was a THIRD one! HOLY HANNAH!!! anyways, i know i did better in this exam than i did the midterm. there were some tough matching questions which i just guessed, but a large part of it, i knew (YAY!). umm..the listening was definately better than my last, but still tough. i couldn't make out some of them, probably cuz i was sitting totally at the wrong spot. AH!! i couldn't really hear the music, and the sound system in the T.A wasn't all that good. and to top it off, i had a serious headache all through the exam because i was so tired and i've been working so much. ARGH! anywyas, i know i can do better if i had more time. even though it was already 3 hours long. but still!! i need tiiiiime!!! anyways, after my exam, i got my paper back. AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! ok i dont want to talk about that. i am PISSED. not even fucking kidding.

anyways, this post is starting to get long so i will now post general points about my studying extravagenza from the past week:
- cappachino and mocha two days in a row...wow... you know i'm desperate when i buy caffinated drinks two days in a row just becuase i want to stay awake.
