Zeitgeist

So I’m sitting here in one of the quiet rooms in the library with a midterm just over an hour away. I’m not overly worried about it; on one hand, it’s Stats for Business so it should not be all that difficult and, on the other hand, I’m pretty burnt out after an unpleasant week so my motivation levels are flirting with rock bottom. Thankfully, my (first ever!) Reading Week is next week, and that should be an excellent opportunity to get myself on my feet again!

As I had predicted earlier, though, this is indeed a trying term for me. There are some classes which are getting rough, and there is seemingly an unending amount of work to do. I’m counting my blessings when I think about how spread out my midterms are; any more than two per week and I would have been toast. Hopefully the final exam schedule will be similarly forgiving 😮

Then there’s my liquidity issue; at this moment, I have less than $20 of immediate disposable income. Saying that I am strapped for cash has never been more real to me as it is now. While I do have funds elsewhere, it’ll take some time before I can actually use any of them. This is what I get for taking a job in the US, I guess 🙁 I bet that those folks at MasterCard probably don’t mind at all. Anyone wanna loan me a thousand?

And I suppose I could make a comment about the whole relationship deal since yesterday was supposedly the day where people who have one should celebrate it and people who don’t have one should contemplate it. I still think that it’s quite silly to have some bogus holiday for this kind of thing. My opinion on this might change one day (should I find a reason to celebrate), but today is just as good of a day to celebrate as any, too, right? You heard it from me first: February 15 is the new February 14.

At this point, I should probably make it clear that there is no special valentine or anything of the like in my life. I might have mentioned that now would not be the best time since I’m going to be away in New York again soon, and since my life after university is a complete mystery to me. Or maybe those are some vain attempts to make myself feel alright about how things are. Don’t get me wrong, I am happy. But would I rather be in a relationship? Yeah. Who wouldn’t?

Anyhow, I need to start my studying… this midterm isn’t going to write itself. 🙁 See you in there.
