The Wash
Midterm season commenceth. Fortunately, midterm season also terminateth Thursday, so hopefully I will survive. The agenda for the week? Tonight: study. Tuesday: economics midterm and study. Wednesday: history midterm and studying. Also some freaking out. Thursday: weeping and terror, followed by (and possibly accompanied by) poli-sci midterm. Anyway, I think I'm in okay shape for the first two. The second one I am not sure what to expect from, so I am slightly terrified. Anyway, it'll all come out in the wash. This is my mantra nowadays.
The weekend was pretty calm, just the way my parents hoped my university weekends would be. I did some work on my Big Essay, studied for my tests, and vegged. Sunday night I went to Jacob's for a study session-slash-West Wing marathon. It ended up only being one episode, plus dinner and a movie with his parents (who are very nice and quite funny as well) but the history studying was worthwhile. It made me feel very obsessive-compulsive, though, because I realized that I need to have a date for every single occurrence. I am slightly hell-bent on memorizing said dates, and have had some minor successes remembering the dates of the Franco-Prussian War (1870-71) and the date of Archduke Franz Ferdinand's assassination in Sarajevo (June 28, 1918, which is St. Vitus' Day). Go me...?
Here's to a prospective lack of failure!

Jess -
Relax - take a deep breath. You'll do fine. Be sure to get some sleep before the exams. The most important date for you to remember is July 8 (my birthday). Just kidding.

Relax - take a deep breath. Remember to get a good night's sleep before each exam. You'll do fine. And the most important date for you to remember is July 8 - my birthday. (Just kidding.)

Coincidentally, I also remember the date of Bloody Sunday (the Russian Revolution one, that is, not the Irish one) because it is my birthday. That is, January 9. Except everywhere else in the world, it was the 22nd, because of the 13-day discrepancy between the Gregorian and Julian calendars. Just don't ask me which one's which!
Remember that your faithful legions are awaiting your updates on midterms--how are they going? how was econ? and now history? I think it's helpful that TWW opener comes before your poli sci-- it should put you in a good mood. Wishing you all good luck, sharp #2 pencils (or whatever technology you need), and brilliant insights (hopefully, ones that accord with the prof's thinking). No sweat! Love, Mom
