Things are gonna get quiet around here

Quick note to explain why there’s not gonna be much happening here over the next week or so.

With less than 24 hours to go until my college exams begin, I’m experiencing a mixed bag of fear, nervousness and excitement (although that last one may or may not be an impending bout of diarrhea, brought on by fear and nervousness). It starts with two exams on one day, which is not what I signed up for. I think I’m okay for the morning exam, which is literature. The questions are fairly predictable, so the only real trouble is remembering all the quotes. I’ve got an hour and a half break and then my sociology exam. For that, I’m fairly boned. I can fill pages about the sociological issues surrounding community, health, gender, the media… but if you ask me to actually tell you exactly who said what about a given topic, I’m stuck. There are just too many people saying too many things for me to remember specifics.

Anyway, the whole thing will be over by lunchtime on the 12th. By 2pm, I fully intend to be blind drunk and hysterically shouting random things at passers-by. Then I fly home on the 13th and will be taking a few days off to immerse myself in GTA4. If you really need to get in contact with me, you better get on Xbox Live or something, because I’ll be ignoring everything else.
