I kind of wonder if the numbers I have reading this blog now is anywhere close to what it used to be. It seems most people have moved to Tumblr for good. But, because I am a clingy person, I will never abandon my Blogspot! Haha.
Class ended last Thursday, so it's been a week now. Last Friday, I basically took the day off; and at night, we had our annual Ambrose's Christmas banquet. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed it even though it could have been better. However, I won't complain because I go to school and live with some of the most amazing people that exist.
After the banquet, exams began the very next morning. I felt bad for those that went to the banquet and then had to get up to write a test the next day. But it looks like everyone is surviving quite well so far. Except me, maybe. I wrote my Greek "final" this past Monday, and it was tough. The test was just the third of three translation tests we had to do for this course; but because it just so happened to fall on finals week, my prof decided to make it harder and use some words that we don't normally use. So, I had a bit of trouble figuring out what the passage meant. But either way, it's over now, and I'll take what I can get.
Over the last two days, I am not quite sure what I did. All that I can recall is sitting at my desk for much of the day without much production. Actually, most of what I've been doing over the last couple days have all taken place inside of my head. Haha. The amount of thinking I did is actually quite amazing I think. From video games, to reality, to alternate realities, to my downfalls, to the things I've lost, the list goes on.
So now, I'm finding myself a little bit screwed. Oops. I have a lot of cleaning to do today because we have to make sure our rooms are tidy and clean before we leave. And because of the amount of maintenance that's been done over the term, it's going to be hell to clean. Then I'll need to pack. I don't think packing will be too time consuming, but I don't want to forget anything. Then, I have to start studying for my final tomorrow. Just a bit of a lament, I just cannot, for the life of me, work myself up to study for a course that isn't relevant to anything I'm doing. And this being the second time I've taken an introduction Sociology class, it's twice as hard to study for something I just don't care about. If I fail my final tomorrow, I wouldn't be surprised. Luckily, it's only 30% and I've done pretty decent in the class so far with the half ass effort I've given all semester.
And this brings me to going home. By this time tomorrow, I'll very likely have finished my test and driving home. I'm really excited, but nervous at the same time. For one thing, driving alone on the highway has got to be one of the worst things ever. It's so boring and time slows down tremendously. I guess, though, that it'll just mean I have four hours to think and talk to God and bombard him with the questions I have for him. I've been doing a lot of that lately: throwing everything I have at God. It gets frustrating, and I'm sure a lot of people can relate, because it's very possible that I'm missing something, but all I'm getting in response from God is to wait. By his timing, I guess.
With that, the first term of my third year in university is over! It's hard to believe that if I stuck to what I was doing right out of high school, I'd be graduating this year. But due to circumstances, I still have two years to go before I can do that. Time really does go by insanely fast, and I am not going to lie, high school feels like yesterday. I don't know if that's necessarily a good thing, because it can also imply that I haven't really grown much. But, fact of the matter is that I know I've grown a ton.
Even so, I've got many more miles to go.
