absence (...whoops!)

Hello everyone who is happening upon my blog right now! I sincerely apologize for my absence as of late. I would say that things have been absolutely insane, but that wouldn't be the entire truth. It'd be half of it, but not the whole thing. Mostly it's just that I've been incredibly lazy & ridden with writer's block. Unable to do almost nothing except schoolwork/studying (occasionally...again, whoops!) and watching things on Netflix (most recently being the rewatching of How I Met Your Mother). So I'm just going to catch you up really quickly!

Since my last post, I have finished reading Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. Honestly, I think that I didn't quite get what was going on throughout (I intend to reread it), but I did like the way it ended, because it seems that almost no one does (except Paige). After I finished that, I started reading Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare, which is the first book in the Infernal Devices series, which is also the prequel series to The Mortal Instruments series. I am almost three-quarters of the way through (according to my Goodreads), and I am really enjoying it! More than I thought I would, actually. But either way, I am loving it and I can't wait to get my hands on the next book, Clockwork Prince! :)

Nextly, things with school are going alright at the moment. It's almost time for my Spring Break though, which means that I get to go HOME! My train home leaves at 6:30 on Friday evening, and I don't have to be back here until the 10th. (Seriously, no one has any idea how PSYCHED I am.) However, it being almost time for a break, that means those dreaded midterms. Last week I had a test in Precalc which went pretty well as far as I know, even though we haven't received grades on those yet. Then, on Tuesday (yesterday, ha), I had an essay exam in my Focused Inquiry class, which is a cognitive thinking class specific to my university in place of English 101, and it sucks. But that's a story for another day! Anyways, I think for the most part the essay exam went alright. Mostly I'm just glad that it's over and I don't have to think about it again...at least until we get them graded and handed back...(seriously, I'm shuddering just thinking about it). But the good news that I got from taking that exam is that we don't have class tomorrow! Which is just wonderful.

Continuing on the subject of exams, I had an Anthropology exam today. On this exam, there were supposed to be 60 multiple choice, 10 fill in the blank and then a choice of three short answer questions. In class, after the exam booklets for the multiple choice and fill in the blank/short answer questions were all handed out, the T.A. realized that she had accidentally copied some of the multiple choice booklets with the answers in them. So my professor says, "Well, you guys get a Spring Break treat: You only have to take the fill in the blank portion of the exam!" Any normal person would probably be psyched about this, however, I am not normal, nor did I do a ton of studying for this exam (I started yesterday), so I was kind of pissed off! I was thinking that without the multiple choice section I would do a lot worse because I would actually have choices, that the answer would have to be there. But I didn't get that. Ugh. Although, on the brighter side, the professor sent out an email later saying that there would be a m.c. test on Blackboard starting on Friday at noon until the Wednesday after Spring Break! So that's wonderful & I am DEFINITELY taking advantage of that. :)

I know, I know, I keep talking about Spring Break and you all are probably thinking "Well, what are you doing for it!?" (You're probably not asking that, but that's okay.) WELL, dear readers, over Spring Break, I am planning on doing almost absolutely nothing. Nothing but relaxing and sleeping in the midst of some crazy renovation preparations. (And I mean crazy.) There will definitely be some visiting of my high school, and lots of delicious food & people to see (hehe). I am terribly excited, so I just figured that I would share it with you!

And that's all for me right now. I hope you all are out there being lovely and doing great things. And always listening to some good music & hanging out with terrific people. Keep on keepin' on.
