finals be gone

I just completed my last real final, a full four days before finals week is even supposed to start. Hooray! I say "last real final" since I have to show up in a week for a final, but it will actually just be a few folks presenting on a commune and then a "closing ritual." I'm not sure what that'll involve, but I guess I'll find out in a week.

It was kind of weird turning in my project today and actually feeling like I did a good job on it. It's not too often that a slacker like myself actually puts significant work into an assignment, so when I do so it's kind of surreal. I go from "it'd be sweet if I got an a" to "i'll be kind of mad if I don't get an a." I guess that's one reason I'm usually such a slacker, adopting the mindset that it's better to be nicely surprised than to be disappointed.

I had forgotten before my Discipline final what it's like to memorize long lists of items that I probably won't remember for a week, but it jogged my memory. I think I did reasonably well on that, too, so that's nice. Now I'll take a short break and then work on my thesis (no really, I'm serious this time).
