Crunch Time 2: Electric Boogaloo
Well, it is exam time once again. You can tell by the blood on the walls and the panic in our eyes. The worst things about exam time are, in order:
1. Public affairs twelve-page essay of MADNESS.
2. The stupid French movie we have to watch to prepare for our oral exam. Only three people can watch it at a time in the language lab thing. There is one copy on campus. There are forty-four people in my French class. You do the math.
3. Positive reinforcement from previous good marks is making me feel that I have to study hardcore and do just as well as I did on my midterms. I don't actually want to do this.
That's about it. Last night was fun -- a bunch of the Girls From the Floor went out to see the Parliament lights and then out for dessert at Oh So Good. Brandy pumpkin cheesecake is yummy, in case y'all are wondering. There are photos below. The Daily Show was, as usual, brilliant, covering Bush's visit to Canada.
And I'm up reasonably early this morning because my group tried to watch the stupid movie (see number 2 in the List of Bad). I understand that the movie is certifiably francophone in that it is totally insane. Apparently it is a documentary, and the narrator goes nuts and starts screaming at a skull or some such... this is just what I've heard, mind you.

I'm catching up with your blog after the travels. Too bad about the 12-pg essay, the puking on you (ugh), and the stupid French movie. Good thing about the dessert and Parliament lights (and room lights), the Jon Stewart clubettes, and other good things. About the bad things, all I can suggest is: (1) think of the 12 pages as a mini-TWOP recap and it will go quickly. (Though maybe you'd like to edit it a little before handing it in.) (2) stay away from drunk people. They do tend to have unfortunate hurling tendencies. The laws of the universe dictate that it lands on a sober person. (3)can't you tech-savvy people find a way to copy the movie to distribute it to the masses better? I'm sadly disappointed in you. What are you doing at university anyway??
Looking forward to the 23rd--Bailey's mom
