What a relief!
Today the sun is shining brighter than ever. Why is it brighter, you ask? Well, my finals are over, as is a semester composed almost exclusively of chemistry, chemistry labs, and Anatomy & Physiology. I could not be happier to report that I no longer have to explain the process of urine formation, which enzyme begins the process of protein digestion, nor spit out every possible isomer, and its correct name, of the hydrocarbon pentane. Whew! That was even painful to write.
Gone are the days of lab partners that don’t read their experiments before class (and copy ALL of my answers). Gone are the constant sounds of test tubes breaking and the sickening smell of formaldehyde. Finally, gone are the days of dreaming about physiological processes and all of its terminologies! I believe I can now breathe a little easier, both literally and figuratively.
Now that this week of weeks is over, I find my self wondering why I am so relieved? I certainly didn’t study as much as I should have (which has really been a constant throughout my entire educational history). I spent most of my time intending to study and planning when to study, but ultimately knitting, doing crossword puzzles, annoying John, putting up things on this webpage (if you notice I have had a lot more posts recently….coincidence? I think not) and inevitably imitating Spudgy.
So since, my final’s week consisted of mostly piddling, what do I really have to be so relieved about? What burden could possible be lifted from my shoulders?
Well, I think it can be summed up as follows, I am now completely free to be as lazy as I want and as piddle-some as I can be without remorse. I can sleep until noon and I can knit and watch television all freaking night if I choose! (yes, yes, I admit I like that show…its so addicting…the drama, suspense, and end of the world excitement! But lets be honest I’ve never been one to have “good taste.”) I could clean, but I could always leave it until tomorrow. Ah, what a relief!

I’m just sayin’
I love Spudgy
good to see that you are taking full advantage of TIME OFF
there is precious little of it . . .
ps
you should be very proud of yourself, others are
for many many reasons
