transomwhiplassThree minutes before I hit the books again.
Oh ehm gee will I be happy when tomorrow is over. Sure, then I get to worry about how badly I screwed up but at least the nasty anticipation and work part will be over for the term. While I am aiming for A's in my class (well, a B in Art History), the reality is that I will pass no matter what. At least so far, a good flippant answer for questions on this PS final would secure me 20 on my final but a C in the class. If I were so easily satisfied my world would be an entirely less stimulating, but considerably easier place...
The last things on my study guide (14 questions), are clustered around the two major essays (ie, crap I want to have drilled into my skull hardcore). I wish that I could have it done by 4, before it gets dark (not because I'm going anywhere, just because for some reason - it getting dark outside makes me panic and feel like it's later than it actually is). More likely is that I'll be done by 6 PM - I'll have a completed study guide. I'm not going to have oodles of time to look over it so I have to make sure the bulk, around 90% is totally in my head by this evening. I also want to look over some of the more basic stuff that we started the class with (anarchy, realism, liberalism, fundamental concepts). The optimistic part of all of this is that I'm seeing that everything ties together (though my brain isn't exactly making the connections automatically which means it's a good thing I'm not taking the final right now), if I can solidify the connections by tomorrow at 10 AM - I'll be able to flow on any topic for all of the allotted time. That, my friends, is the recipe for sucess.
I also need to start cramming art history details in my brain soon. I get an hour leeway between PS and ARH and that's not a lot - it will probably be more effective to use it for decompression rather than for studying (at that point, it's kind of late in the game to learn anything). It will give me a brief chance to review my notes and pick-up on some final points of interest but the point is I have to ready to go.
Obviously I should go back to working now (well, I shouldn't have stopped) and I've now wasted 15 over 3, blah. I will suffer for this later.
