Midterms

** Editor’s note: **
The last few weeks have been crazy, mostly crazy good, but still crazy. There’s been a lot going on, a lot I have to recount here. So tonight is going to be the lightening round; instead of doing longer entries as I usually do, I’m going to do shorter ones, but more of them. There’s going to be a LOT of new content tonight, so consider yourselves warned …

Hurrah, midterms are over! Had three of them over the last few days, and while I really can’t complain since most of my classmates had more, it’s still good to know they’re in the past. On top of that, we have next Mon & Tues off school (I think due to Election Day) so I have that to look forward to as well.
I was fortunate in that I didn’t have any of my midterms on the same day as another one. My first was in Lit Hum, which went fine, but I mixed up two of the authors, stupid Greek names. I’m sure I did fine on it, and I got an ‘A’ on the first paper for the class, so I doubt I have much to worry about but I feel stupid for what I missed. My oral Chinese exam went poorly, but I have no one to blame for that besides myself. I should have practiced it more, but it’s not a very big part of the overall course grade and I had other priorities.
I just took my last one in Money & Banking this afternoon, and am pretty confident that I aced it (maybe less a couple points here & there if the professor is feeling nit picky). That makes me very happy, as I’d really like to have an ‘A’ in that class. It’s been a good class, and I feel I’ve learned a lot.
The REALLY crazy thing is to consider that there’s only 6 weeks left in the semester, and then it’s over. And then we’re into my final semester here at Columbia, and then I will be done! I think May 16 is going to come rushing up on me faster than I anticipate …
