hyper! (for once)
friday, november 16, 2001
i'm hyper! yeah, yeah, can you tell? i'm having a good morning. my teacher in african-american literature walked by me in the office and stopped to say i need to pick up my graded exam from him since i was not in class wednesday. i got a bit scared. he shook his head.
"was it very bad?" i asked.
he grunted and said: "well, i can't remember, but let me go get it."
yeah, that felt a bit ominous, mm-hmm, and i indeed dreaded his return. i tried to emphasise my status as ill by not noticing his return because i was busy rubbing my head-ache torn forehead and looking pathetic. i figured it'd soften the blow.
so he hands it to me and says: "i'm sorry. don't let it get you down and ruin your weekend now."
i looked at it and.. well, it was a three-part essay exam: identify 3 out of six short passages from our past readings and discuss each of them in a one-page essay. i felt really confident--i hadn't studied per se, but can bullshit well, so i sat down, picked 3 topics and wrote exactly three one page essays (i didn't have to start over on a fresh sheet of paper even once) and handed in first and left. in fact, he needled me a bit about leaving early.
so i look and.. 95? i made a 95! wahooo! i even got a high grade on the second essay on a text i haven't even read! i rock. or, rather, i bullshit. now, i know this is a perfectly mundane thing to mention, but consider how utterly crappy i've been doing in classes this semester, especialy as of late, this was very hyper inducing.
and then i found out we're getting our pay check's today, a day where i have exactly one dollar in my wallet. and gene is coming to visit tomorrow. and it is friday. and e-mail is sort of fun, sort of. ergo, i am hyper!
"i said BRRR it's cold in here, there must be some toro's in the AT-mosphere!"
and alan rickman is looking very evil and snippy in harry potter. once in a while, things don't completely suck. cin cin. �� 1:03 p.m.
