Nothing Left To Do.

Spring seems like it has sprung in Nova Scotia. Am I speaking too soon? Well snow has never been a concern to me, but I must say that I have enjoyed the past week of spring-like weather. My only concern is that when it's pouring rain outside, I want to be curled up watching some good movies or a good television show, or just relaxing and listening to some good "rain" music (my favorites being Adele, Jack Johnson, or Pink Martini). When it's sunny? That's when I feel like going outside for a run, a walk, or just sitting out on the deck with a good book (and a good book I have! Recently bought the new Penny Vincenzi book that I'm dying to break open). But I really can't do any of the above.

It's finals time.

Can you say gross? I'd like to say that I've been swallowed up for what seems like eternity by the beast of a building referred to as the library, but that's not the case. I've preferred to take a lazy approach to studying. You know, studying at the last minute. When it REALLY matters. I wrote my first exam today, and while it was open book, it didn't quite matter. 10 parts each + like 10 questions each = NOT ENOUGH TIME TO FINISH (bahah! Math, I'm clever!). But it's over now, and I'm sure I'll pass the course which is my only real concern. Tomorrow I write sociology and I'm sure I can manage to pass that exam too with the studying I'll do once I get home tonight. I didn't do the paper for that course though, and with an "All assignments must be completed to pass the course" warning on the syllabus, I am questioning my decision to NOT write the 10 page paper that was required for this course. Why didn't I write it? It's a 10 page paper for a first year soc course. I'm a fourth year math major, I don't have TIME to do that. Not to mention I needed at least 10 reliable (aka journal articles/text) sources. Maybe I'll pump out a paper over the weekend with basic website sources. Then, maybe it will be done wrong, but it will be done! Do I care? Not really. Next week I write my bio exam, and I will actually study for that because not getting an A (at the very least an A-) in that course would be quite embarrassing. So all I have to do is pull off an 88 on the final. Seems easy enough...

And then? Then I can sit down, enjoy my book that I just know is going to be wonderful. My book that calls out to me from it's perch on my desk every day. I can enjoy my week house sitting that starts two days after my last final. I can take Casey, the energetic golden retriever I'm taking care of, out for long walks in the sunshine. Or, if it's raining, I can sit, and listen to the rain. Why? Because there will be nothing left to do.

That is until summer school starts.
