Paroxysmal

Oh goodness.

A while ago in Spanish we were talking about study habits and this girl (who I don't particularly enjoy) piped up with the fact that a person should study for two hours per one hour class period they attend. Was she joking? I have five classes (two of which are an hour and a half, so that's three hours), which come out to six hours of total class time for two days (I have three classes on monday and two on tuesday). According to this girl I should be studying for six hours on monday night and six hours on tuesday night! That's just crazy! And I'm sure that's not quite how it goes. I mean I could save some of those hours from the week for the weekend, hah. Maybe in an ideal world I would get that much studying done, but there is way too much going on for me to have any inkling of desire for such extensive studying. Goodness! Then again, if I were to devote that much time to my studies I'd probably do amazingly in my classes.

But in the end I do fine and have had no problems yet with not devoting my whole night and day to pouring over books. Viva la vida!

This whole post was brought on by the fact that I'm about go to the language lab to sit around and study Spanish for two hours! Or as long as I can take it. You know I'm excited.

Spanish mid-term in less than an hour. I'm really not worried; I'd almost dare to say it's going to be easy-peasy, but I don't want to underestimate.

It's rainy and splendid outside. You know those days when the sky is one gray mass and there's a slight breeze and everything is completely dreary, but it makes you completely ecstatic? Maybe this is just me, but tt's one of those days.

I've started talking to a school-mate through facebook. He's good looking; a crush is forming. Thankfully he's gay, so the crush is more plausible. I wonder what will happen. If anything. There's another guy that I've sort of been seeing as well who doesn't want a relationship. For him I can understand since he just got out of a real crappy, dramatic relationship, but man. The trend here (at least in the gay community) seems to be 'no strings attached'. You know, let's get hot and heavy, but nothing too serious. We can't do that. No, no no. This frustrates me sometimes because I want that serious aspect. I want that relationship. Maybe this guy I've started talking to will give that to me. I'm not going to hope because that can only set one's self up for failure, but yeah.

Alright, spanish mid-term ahoy!

Have a good day everyone. Moins de trois.
