Well I studied until 2AM getting ready for my 8AM Philosophy final and woke up at 6 to study some more. (Okay, sidetrack: What is it? 2am, 2AM, 2a.m., 2 am, 2 a.m. 2 A.M. 2 AM, what??) Anyhow, the final went as well as could be expected, better actually. I had an A going in to the final (3 papers equalling 60% of our grade) so considering that I think I got an A or more likely a B on the final, I may still get an A in the class (or an A- (grumblegrumble)).

I don't know whether it's a testament to how well I'm acclimating to having contacts, or how tired I was, but I was in bed, eyes shut, welcoming sleep's embrace when I realized I forgot to take my contacts out (and I'm someone who has a (quasi-)irrational fear that falling asleep with contacts in might mean I'll wake up with my eyes goopy and sealed shut which, as we know, doesn't mix well with taking an early final exam.

Anyhow, contacts out, slept, woke, crammed more, went to the student store to get a blue book before my test to see that they had literally 25 people in line and one clerk. Grabbed three bluebooks, walked to the front, apologized to the clerk (who looked at me mutely saying 'for what?' dropped two dollars on the counter and left. (Blue books are about 30 cents, so I more than covered it.) I'd have felt guilty if I wasn't insuch a rush. I wonder how many of the blue-book-weilding students in line followed my lead after I left. I mean, exact change isn't quite worth being late for a final.

So now I wait. It's a good thing I have two more finals to go, otherwise I'd be stuck fretting about getting grades back for the next week. Now I really have to fret about getting recommendations out first thing Monday, even if they're hand delivered, because I need them to be returned to the university's letter service, then sent to UCB:SIMS and CMU:HCII as soon as possible.

I should probably be working on a statement of purpose right now. You know, it's probably a huge oversight, but I didn't really notice until a couple days ago that I don't mention my personal weblog at all on my resume. now that I get about 150,000 impressions a month (that is a scary number) I should probably mention it.
