Hey yaars!

After last night's apprehensive post, I attempted to get to bed. Of course, attempting to and succeeding in doing so are two different things altogether. I managed to toss and turn for an hour and a half until I realized that the mid-term was bugging me too much. So I ended up rising and writing notes/studying from 4-7:30 in the morning! The advantage - I was done note-taking. The disadvantage - I was exhausted, and not sure if I even understood what I was doing!

So after a good 6 1/2 hours of rest, I got up at 2, did a semi-review, and noticed things actually stuck in my head from last night! I also checked out last years version of the mid term for this course, which seems to be managable. This Professor tends to give fair tests, so I calmed down a bit.

The piece de resistance? The big TWO-FOUR!!! I'm eagerly anticipating tomorrow, and it seems to me like some of my friends are just as (if not more) excited than I am. I haven't had a birthday with friends since I was 10, and even then the company was composed of family friends and their children. How times have changed!

So now I have to ask myself the question: To shave or not to shave? I haven't managed to trim the whiskers since the last game of the season (Oct. 2), and have ended up with a beard any fanatical cleric would be proud of! It's part laziness, part ritual. I tend to NOT shave during mid-terms or exam periods for no particular reason. I think it might have to do with the sports team thing where for good luck they keep them. I don't know, it just stuck.

I'll leave y'all for now. Excited as hell, but have to go pick up the brother from work. Talk to you all soon!
