Exam Time!
May. 18th, 2006 08:24 pmExams: 2 down, 2 to go. Modern History exam was a manful struggle, but I think I did fairly well. Linguistics exam nearly kicked my ass, but I think I came out of it much better than last semester's Scottish History exam, which not only kicked my ass, but dragged me through the dirt and ditches by my hair, then spit on me. Bastard. (Following this, I rode my horse off a cliff in a storm and plunged the kingdom into a decades-long succession crisis which led to 100 years of war with England!)
My Modern Histoy exam was on my birthday. That night a small group of us went out to the Cellar Bar, though many people couldn't come because of studying. It was a nice night, though.
Today started off crappily at about 1 am, when I attempted to go to bed. Unfortunately my roommate didn't have similar inclinations until around 2:30. I really hate trying to sleep when there's still activity going on in the room--mostly because I'm nearly always unsuccessful. I don't know what it is; ever since I was a little kid I've been most comfortable when I'm the last person to go to sleep. Whenever I complain about my roommate's late hours, she points out that I'm a night owl too--which is true--but often when I go to bed after her, it's because I've been sitting around fiddling with the computer or whatever, just waiting for her to go to bed.
So I woke up at nearly 11 in a foul mood, having lost the morning struggle with my alarm clock and missed breakfast. I burnt my toast, then found that people had stolen yet more of my butter. Food theft has really escalated in the last month or so, it's really frustrating.
I've been stressing over this whole packing/getting home thing as well. I went into the University Travel office today, and as always, came out swearing I'd never go to them for advice again. Fortunately, everything perked up after lunch, when I talked to Jen on MSN and got everything sorted out, travel-wise. She's so amazing, she's putting me up for the night in Glasgow so I don't have to get an early morning taxi, and even said she'd drive me to the airport in the morning!
I still haven't figured out a job for the summer, though. I suppose I'll have to just apply to places when I get home. I think places are slightly sceptical of me because even at my age, I've never had a real job before--I'm 19 now, but not according to ( this quiz. )
I should probably go do something useful now.
