I think some people are approaching their lives in manners inconsistent with success. Myself included. I have most certainly made my fair share of mistakes in the past, and I'm certain I'll continue to make some in years to come. I can only hope that the mistakes I have yet to make are different from those I've performed in the past.
I need to pick up some soda for da haus next time I'm at a store, along with a shower curtain.
I also need to pick up some cash before brunch.
If I were smart, I would have done all this on the way home. Alas, such was not to be. In continueing with the non-smartness of myself, I'm avoiding studying when I should really be doing the opposite. I have a final in about . . . 11 days which I am not at all ready for.
Speaking of scholarly endeavours, remember that test I took last Tuesday which I felt so bad about my performance on? I wound up getting almost 50% on it!!! WOO-FREAKING-HOO!!!! 12/25 baby!!! HELLLS YEAH! Yes, that type of a score is considered respectable for this class/teacher. Sure, there were probably some people who got 15 or even 17, but I doubt anyone got higher than 17. That, and she told the class that all of us are assured of at lest a B+ at this point. She said "just show up to the final, put your name on the paper and turn it in" and we get a B+. Problem is, I have no excuse other than my own mental inability to do this crep to not get an A. It's not like I have another class filling my study time. And my job will let me slack off a bit as finals approach (one of the perks of working at a university where you're also attending classes -- everyone's willing to let some stuff slide when schoolwork gets painfull). My social life is pretty non-demanding because all the people I value in my life either have by now gotten used to my vanishing act every semester or they have classes and the corresponding studying to do themselves.. So yeah, I really have only my own laziness to blame for any lack of studying (like my making this post right now).
In other news, I went wandering the mauls yesterday, wound up discovering there's a little cart in the Rotunda in Downtown Plaza selling stuffs by The Upper Crust baking company. I picked up 6 yummy cookies for 5 dollars. Big cookies, they were. Quite yummy also. I have no more left, though, so I may wind up getting another baggie at some indeterminate point in the future. Or perhaps not, who knows. I also picked up another pair of pants from EddieBauer, much like the brown jeans-cut cordory pants I shnagged recently, but these are more of a greenish-tan colour. But they fit well and have a relatively sturdy feel to them, so I'll likely like them in spite of the atrocious cut (I despise jean-cut pockets! They are at the *wrong* angle for comfortably putting your hands in them).
After all that, I wound up home at a reasonable hour and
heh.. I can't help thinking how great it'd be to go there "dressed down". heheh.. They'd likely bar the doors the instant they saw us.
So ja, it was a very pleasant evening.
And then this morning, to head home and demonstrate a severe lack of foresight by passing by two stores and an ATM without stopping in at a single one. D'oh! Ah well -- these things, they do happen. And now here I am, avoiding homework and listening to tunez at a volume through my headphones which leads me to wonder if I could even hear the phone should it happen to ring. Sure, it's right next to me, but these are nice headphones.
