Finals Continue

Well, the history final went relatively well, the only part where I feel I really messed up was the last topical essy, thirty points of the final... but the ID's (thirty points) and the comprehensive exam (fourty points) I did well on. Anyway, tomorrow is Math at one if the afternoon. I'm doing better in the class than I thought but I need at least an 85 on this test, so I'm going to be hitting the books pretty hard tonight (and tomorrow morning). That means I also get to hit the food pretty hard, a Jimmy John's Gargantuan sounds so good right now. Anyway, my finaly English revision and all it entails are also due tomorrow, I don't think I'll have that much trouble finishing that up. I mean, between now and thirteen hundred tomorrow, I'll be able to get some sleep as well, most likely, I always over-contribute time for school work, which is really a good thing because I get to sleep/watch car[t00n]s. I've contributed two hours to English and eight hours to Math, so I have a feeling I'm fine. I don't think it'd be a good idea to do Math first, I always have luck if I study immediately before a test and sleep until the time of the test. The English re-write, I'd like to add, is going to be pretty easy to do, she told me what she was looking for and I was able to argue my thesis to the point where she finally just said, "Okay! Your thesis is arguable!" So, all I have to do if shove in some quotes from the text (even though there are already plenty, she wants more to prove my point). I think she wants me to make the connection between how literacy affects people in a positive light more clear, so the reader doesn't have to assume anything... I didn't like the paper in the first place... it wasn't really an argument. Well, I'm going to get going now, probably to eat, so I might be on America OnLine Instant Messanger later tonight, between 10:30 PM and 12 AM, perhaps. Well, ciao for now!

okay, ciao! oh and I know your pretty darn good at writing, but there are some spiffy smart people on your blog who I am pretty sure would not mind looking over your papers just out of boardom. Now I am not really great at writing papers, but I know it always helps to have someone do a once over and offer some criticism (btw, I hate criticism, I always take it personally, but if need be I can swallow my pride, at least what is left of it). I can picture you arguing with your teacher and for some reason I crack up laughing. time for my break! ciao! gotta go to a wake, yeah!
