Finals Week: Done

I just completed my last final of college ever and all I want to do is go back to bed. For the first time in four years I had a Saturday final and it had to be at 9am. I would have preferred 11am or better yet no Saturday final at all. If I hadn't had this exam I could have been home already yesterday or Thursday if I was feeling ambitious. It doesn't matter anymore though because I am done and I'll be heading home for a short week tomorrow.

It still hasn't sunk in that I'm actually leaving school and have to say goodbye to my friends. I got a small taste of what next weekend is going to be like last night. Because of my final this morning I didn't want to go to the bar or stay out late drinking so instead I went over to some friends' apartment and hung out. I got to do my laundry there since I've run out of quarters and watch WWE Smackdown. I'm not a huge fan of wrestling, but while watching it last night with my friends I got really into it and kept shouting at the television and critiquing the characters. It is a really silly thing to watch because it is so over the top and ridiculous, but I had a good time anyways. After wrestling we stayed up talking in there near empty apartment. I kept counting down the hours until our 9am finals and when it got to about seven hours left I decided to go home and get a little bit of sleep. When I got up to go I got up not even remembering that this was going to be the last time I would see these guys. They've been an awesome group of junior boys that share similar interests as me and taught me how to play Skyrim this semester. Each one gave me a hug and I even teared up a little bit. I had to get to the elevator and wipe my face before anyone could see. By the time I hit the lobby I had dry eyes, but it was just too sad to say goodbye. 

Finals Week: Off to a poor start.

I'm in the library right now supposedly studying for my science and theology final tomorrow night, but I'm finding it harder and harder to read through the chapters and make my outline. It won't be a terrible exam, we have the questions already and we get to make an outline for each of them. There's even an extra credit question that the class was given to think about ahead of time. It should only take me a few hours to write up the outlines and then I can head back home or over to the art studio if I feel like it, but right now I can barely get myself motivated to do anything. It's such a nice day outside that I would rather be playing some frisbee with the Hebrew Friend out in the sun, but I have to get this done otherwise it will be tomorrow night before I know it and I'll be in trouble.

Being in the library right now really makes me want to take a nap. It might be the climate change from coming in to a cold library from the warm outdoors or the fact that it's very, very quiet on the second floor and inviting to just lie my head down on the desk and close my eyes. I've been in here since this morning and all I've done so far is write my name and date in a Word document and click through Stumbleupon. I hate finals week because everything else that I didn't care about all semester suddenly seems more interesting or more important. Being trapped in the library leaves me open to distractions and the thoughts floating around in my head and those thoughts suck.

UPDATE: Had to get out of the library since I wasn't actually doing anything productive. Moved to the quiet Starbucks in the hopes that overpriced coffee drinks and gas usage would keep me settled and motivated for a little while.
