could it be yesterday, i coulda swore the same thing happened....
so. it's friday night. i've spent the majority of this past week- dead week, thank god- playing civ4, reading fanfiction, and sleeping for inordinate amounts of time. i studied a bit on... whatever day it was that i went to jim's house. wednesday? and a bit last night. anyway. now it's friday night. i have two major finals coming up, one on monday, one on tuesday. and i've realized that i've done relatively almost zero studying or other preparation for either test, and the basic studying that i do for both of these classes, while not terribly intense, is certainly time-consuming.
crap. crapcrapCRAP.
a group of us went to see golden compass today (amazing; followed the book quite well, excellent acting. did end about three or four chapters early, but implied a sequel, so i'm not too peeved.) and i enjoyed it very much. but that's the last fun thing i'm going to let myself do (barring the ballet tomorrow night) until after 2pm on tuesday. i can't afford to waste any more time.
after we got back i spent the rest of the day in the computer lab. (huh. i didn't eat dinner. i probably should do something about that...) i'm filling in the rest of my notes for structures- morris is rather foolish in that he sits 150 students in an auditorium, turns off the lights, and reads from a powerpoint for an hour and a half- a powerpoint which will be posted online a few days later. everyone sleeps. i'm dead serious. as soon as the opening movie clip of the day is over, the entire room shifts around to get comfortable, and we all just doze off. i usually make a valiant attempt to copy down the title of each slide and leave enough space for the body text, but he goes through them all too fast for me to copy even half of it down, and since they're posted online anyway..... it's just a ridiculous way to go about giving us the information. attendance is mandatory and for a grade, probably because he realized about 6 years ago that otherwise no one was attending his lectures. yeesh. so anyway, i had five to fill in, and two and a half which i just completely slept through, and it takes a while. but filling in the notes, memorizing the case studies, and reading the book are all i need to do for structures, studying-wise.
then for history, i just make a little info page for every building we studied. unfortunately, there are a lot of buildings- upwards of fifty- and i have to draw pictures to help me remember what they all look like. easy, but it takes forever. more fun than structures by far, though. ^/____^
......so, i'm sick of studying, but i'm really worried that i'm gonna fail these two tests. sucky position to be in.
*seppuku*

YAY! The church we found is this uber-old Lutheran church, it has stained glass windows and smells delightful.
