carvinkeeper12So, I just had my last (and second...for the same class) midterm. It went a lot better than I thought it was going to, but it still wasn't great. Hopefully I get another high B or low A or something. I'd like to not get lower than my last test, but we'll see. I didn't study ALL that much harder, and started skipping lecture. We'll see on Wednesday.
I have another test, only a quiz, in my Industry class in a couple hours here, but it's over stuff we've covered pretty well in class and a chapter I actually went out and read on my own before I knew it was assigned. So I'm not too worried about this.
I'm super excited recently because my bike came and I've actually been riding it and it's wonderful. I DID almost get hit once already but it didn't happen so we can forget about that, right? I had to go get a backpack for that though because I only had messenger bags, and those are a bit unbalanced when biking. So I went to the bookstore after class this morning and got the backpack, a hole punch that I need for Studio, and then saw a really good deal on a combo Benny & Joon/The Man in the Moon DVD set and a Forgotten English desk calendar for next year. I'm excited about this, especially because I was able to put it on my Dad's card since it was a mostly academic purchase.
I feel kinda bad, because I've skipped out on two concerts in the past two weeks with Alan, but I've just been getting a bit of overload with that kid. I know we're supposed to be good friends, but sometimes you just need a break from someone, ya know? Anyway, I was supposed to go to a Halloween concert and to his favorite band's CD release on the past two Fridays. The first one I really just wasn't feeling up to going out, so I used that as an excuse. Then, I DID have a lot of work over this weekend so I begged out again. I feel bad because he's been coming to TMBG and I told him like two months ago I'd go, but I just haven't been excited about going out for the past couple of weeks. I partially blame Paco. Who, by the way, hasn't come to any further conclusions that he's told me about even though we've been talking a bit. Frustrating.
Also, I seem to be immune to the cold again. Well, not that it's been very cold...It dipped into the 40s for a few days before Halloween, but it's been staying in the 50s and 60s lately. But people are starting to get all bundled up in their winter coats and scarves, and I'm still traipsing around in a relatively thin sweatshirt. *shrug* I only find it odd because I wore jeans pretty much all summer, even though it was in the 70s and 80s. Also, they've started blasting the heat in the buildings so it's just fucking hot inside. Especially my dorm.
I just acquired the rest of Sarah Vowell's books, as well as John Hodgman's new one. I'm excited to get started on those. I just have to find time. I also found this torrent of like 1000 popular sci-fi books, (something like 6 gB worth of pdfs) so if anyone wants to read one that they aren't excited enough about to buy, hit me up and I can send you that particular pdf. I'm excited for Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle, the rest of Neil Gaiman's works (which I'll probably end up buying anyway, I like him lots), and Terry Pratchett's works (also a possible future purchase). So far the N-R torrent has finished downloading (alphabetical by author's first name), so I have tons of that.
Aaaaand, I should get some lunch and head over to 194.
