Sleepy
Currently Playing: Taking Back Sunday - I Am Fred Astaire
Hello. It has been awhile. There's good reason of course. The dreaded fifth week has come and gone. Midterms are (mostly) over, finally. I have probably gotten 5 or 6 hours of sleep total since Sunday night. Usually, the coming of the weekend would mean a break from all the cramming and homework, but not this weekend. Although I had a midterm, two lab reports, and a quiz this week, next week is going to be arguably even worse. I have a midterm, two papers, a lab quiz, and a lab report due. The midterm next week is for Psyc, so it won't even be one tenth as hard as the biochemistry midterm I took this week, but I still have to do some 200+ pages of reading for it, which I have yet to start. I also have neither read the book that my Philosphy paper is going to be on, nor gone to class in the past week or so. Add all that up and it doesn't look like I'll be sleeping much next week either.
And I need a haircut.
(Long) Randomness: My Psychology class on Tuesday lasts from 6:30 pm to 9:20 pm, which, incidentally, was when game 3 of the World Series was being played. Almost everyone with a laptop had the live play-by-play open, and at random times during the lecture I could hear a supressed yelp of delight (I'm guessing they were Boston fans). It got so bad that my professor stopped lecture and started talking about the adverse effect that winning the pennant would have on Red Sox fans. She started talking about how Red Sox fans have played the part of the loser for so long that it has become part of their identity. If they won, that identity would be taken away, and many people won't know what to do. They might even yearn for the days when suffering because of a painful loss was a part of their lives. She gave an example of when masochists find that they no longer have someone to abuse them, they lose their sense of identity. Anyway, the whole point of me telling you this is because I saw this article on Yahoo! today. Odd coincidence.
