The home stretch

2003-05-11 @ 9:45 p.m.


So wow, its Sunday. Finals begin tomorrow and I've done totally the bare minimum to prepare for them. Well my stupid Health final is the only thing on tap tomorrow and I'm not worried about that at all (if I was I'd be studying right now). Why am I so calm about these finals? I don't know...its a good sign I think because I'm confident that I'll do fine regardless if I worry about it or not or study extra hard or not. The only people that should be worrying are those who don't go to class. And I do, and I've done very well on a great amount of the tests so far, so I have nothing to worry about. I'm good to go.

So since I didn't study at all this weekend, I had some fun instead. On Friday I went out to Clinton Lake to hang out with drumline folk. It was a good time. I mostly threw around the frisbee and talked about KU basketball, the potential of the band for next year, and my experiences at live shows these past couple of months. I told Keegan and Matt L. I wasn't coming back and they're both sad, but they understand where I'm coming from. I'll miss band next year, but seriously, I can't do it forever. Then that night I went to Keegan's party and that was fun. I got extremely high...thats pretty much all I remember. It felt like I was at a movie but I didn't really know exactly what was really going on. If that makes sense...

So yesterday I REALLY didn't do anything. The highlight was mostly going with some Pearson guys and two of Madeleine's Miller friends (Becca and Rachel C) to Lindon, Kansas and ate at this pizza place. It was pretty cool. I'd never been to Lindon before, but it looked like a nice small town. The guys that were from there don't like it though because there's nothing to do, as it is with all small towns. But small towns are always nice to visit. I'm just not sure about living there. Anyway, it was a pretty fun night.

And today I tried studying a little for my Health final, but then I realized that its really all common knowledge, so I'm just going to go in and take it because I know I'll do well regardless, so why study more when you'll get an A anyway? Instead I watched San Antonio lose to the Lakers (damn) and then went home to wish my mom a happy Mother's Day. It was pretty nice coming home. We all sat around the table and talked about my grandfather, Joe's graduation, why Ann, Joe, and my mom are now vegitarians, and about how money for schools should be equally funded. We always have these kinds of conversations, but tonight I actually got pretty involved (something I don't usually do), so that was good. Yeah, it was good.

So Madeleine is now coming back in three days. Amazing. And Madeleine emailed her mom to see if I could come up next weekend to see her. My parents definitely think I can, so we'll see. Chances are good, so Madeleine says. She told me she was shivering at the thought of seeing me again. I'm pretty cool about it. I'm really really excited to see her again, but thinking about her used to pretty much overwhelm my mind. Now I know she's coming back, so I can think about other things now. You could say I'm just relieved she's coming back home.

Well, I'm going to look over my Health notes again (might as well) and then study with Pwong for eastern civ in an hour. I guess finals are offically here.
