Exam Week

Hello, Hello!

Here I am sitting in my condo bedroom in the city and who am I thinking about? You, my lovely readers. AKA Mom and Grandma.

So there is only five days left of my first year of college! Tomorrow I have to attend one class where I will politely watch three marketing presentations and then I'm off to my hometown for Easter weekend. On Tuesday I start exam week! Where I have three 8 am exams :( 8 am exams suck because it means I have to get on the bus at 7 am! Getting on the bus at 7 am sucks because it means I have to get up by 6:15! Getting up at 6:15 sucks because it means that I have to be in bed by like 10 and normally I can't sleep that early. 8 am exams are kind of nice though because you're done them super early and then you can go home, have a nap, and have time to study for the next 8 am exam happening the next day. Exams that are at like 3:30 suck because then you spend all your time prior to the exam studying for that exam and then after you just wanna chill because it's 5:30 already and you don't get home to eat until 6:15 or so but oh wait you have to be up at 6:15 am the next day for your last 8 am class! And then after that exam you can go home, have a nap and then return to the school for 6 pm to write your online class' final exam and then by the time you finish that one it's 8 pm and you now have to drive an hour and a half to your hometown because YOU'RE FINALLY DONE COLLEGE YEAR 1. It's a bitter-sweet thing, exam week.

In the spirit of exam week I am going to write a list of all the things I won't miss about my first year and all the things that make me happy it is finally over!

1. No more school. No more listening to boring teachers, no more homework assignments, no more group projects, no more studying, no more essay-writing, no more citing the shit out of papers. No more!

2. No more bus riding. I'm getting real tired of standing on corners, or by poles without getting paid for it.

3. No more making my own dinner. Okay, I'm sure I'll still make dinners quite a bit but at least I won't be so dependant on myself. Putting pizza pops in the microwave can be so exhausting especially after a long day of bus riding.

4. No more having to listen to my roommate's music from his room. This morning he was listening to Avril Lavigne. Like, really?

5. I'll save tons of money on gas. I really don't consider myself a citizen of any town at this point because I just travel between home and the city so much. I'm a drifter.

6. My parents just bought a new house! I'm not sure if I'm allowed to share this information at this point but the only people who read this already know anyways! I'm super excited about it. I love new houses. This one is just like five minutes out of our town so we're not really moving away, just upgrading. And my parents want to get a swim spa and a fire pit and it will be so cool!

7. I'm working at the pool again this summer and am looking forward to it. I like teaching swimming lessons and hanging out in shorts all day. And I can make some money!!

8. The last day of exams is when I get my tax-return money and I'm going shopping!!

9. I won't be lonely as much. Living somewhere else from everyone sure takes it's toll on you.

10. I can finally watch Frozen. My mom bought it but I haven't been home long enough to watch it and everyone is talking about it so damn much.

So as you can tell, I'm pretty stoked to be done with college. And to think, I still have three more years
:( this shit better get me rich.

Good luck to any fellow students also entering exam week!
May the Force be with you!

Na na na na na na na na AshMan!
