I went to bed last night at about 3- 3 30 ish and woke up at 6 30 all in the hopes of passing the anthropology exam with flying colors. Well those colors may be a little murky..... I feel like this has just been one enormously long day. This morning I felt like throwing up I was so nervous for the test...I was also sleep deprived and ate mac and cheese at 7am because I simply could not afford to go down to breakfast (and my milk went bad. awesome right?), so I just stayed cloistered away on the verge of hacking up hamburger mac and cheese. Delish I know.
The whole premise of my first college exam really wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I was freaking out over stupid things like, what if you have a question? do you just raise your hand like normal (yes), and can you write on the test packet? I am such a scribbly test-taker, and what if I ran out of time? I could write on the test, AND I finished within the time limit no problem. It was annoying and daunting though at the beginning because you have to write you answers in those little bubble lists like on standardized tests....scary business. But no, in retrospect it really wasn't as hard as I though it would be. Oh and another fun fact: throughout the entire hour and 15 minutes, there were roof-top workers pounding, slamming, rolling, shaking and YELLING on the roof above our lecture hall....the TAs and the profs were all madly scrambling around trying to figure out how to shut them up-none of them succeeded. It was the most distracting thing I've ever experienced in an exam. Bottom line is that now I know that you really need to start studying at least 3 days in advance because it may work in high school to just not study, or just cram the night before, but NO MORE in college my friends. It has been a learning experience that is for sure! I never again want to put myself through that kind of anxiety AGAIN. check up with me next mid-term....
Lately, Tuesday nights have been Miyazaki night with a couple friends of mine and oh.my LANTA. Tonight we watched Howl's Moving Castle and I think I'm in love. Spirited Away used to be my favorite but this one has given it a run for its money! It was so amazing and magical and Howl is a cross between a hot disneyesque prince charming and David Bowie in Labyrinth (another one of my favorites). And the main girl, Sophie is just a GEM folks. Man oh man. I have a no-repeating-movie rule where I really wont repeat a movie unless I absolutely loved it (obviously I'll repeat if it has been a long enough time but it has to be a GOOD minute). Well this one has moved into my "OK to repeat at any time category." Here is the trailer for when it premiered in the U.S---feast your eyes, and go out and rent this amazing work of art.
And now my friends, bed time for Catherine
