One Down.

So.. that essay? Yeah, I'm going to do a little shameless self promotion here. Which is probably bad exam Karma or SOMETHING.. but I slaved away at that thing.. and I got a 93% !! My proffessor (and this is what put it over the top) asked me if I was indeed a phil student, because if I wasn't.. I should be. And that he rarely gets anything of that caliber from 4th year students, and to save it to use later..WHEN I DO MY MASTERS!! YAY! So it paid off. The fact that I have dime sized bald patches, that I chewed my lips to blood, that I completely and permanently threw off my circadian rythms, that I ate nothing but salad.. IT PAID OFF! Now I know what I have to do next term..

On a lighter note, I wrote my phil final yesterday, and I knew it.. like.. cold. (I assure you, I do not use terms like "like" or, painfully enough "omg" in my papers. Which, sadly, I have witnessed and edited.) So that's one down. The only other one that I'm worried about is my logic exam.. *Sigh* Which I will pass, if and only if, therefore and are, or is a necessary condition to passing.. that I become a super genius overnight. Or at least before next Friday.

THEN.. dear readers.. I am going home. Yes, home. In the past year and a half, I have spent no more than 10 days in the company of my entire family (please lord let me recognize them) - so I am returning to the familial homestead (right now a rented brownstone in Ottawa) to rejoice in the Christmas season. To skate on the Rideau Canal, to visit galleries and eat beaver tails, and essential mooch shamelessly off my family as much expensive fruit as I can. And Christmas! CHRISTMAS!

*sigh* Happiness. Or as near as I can get with 4 exams and Secret Santa looming. Lord.
