Things Accomplished Today
- Cleaning done.
- All of preparation necessary for ACS process exam completed.
- Two thirds of preparation for European History done.
- Written essay for French exam typed and ready to go.
- Dogma watched. Was this necessary from a strictly educational viewpoint? Absolutely. You see, according to Dogma all life functions on God's ineffability. Thus, I have the answer to every single question on my Biology exam. "What is the purpose of the cell's nucleus?" To fulfill God's infallible plan, duh. "Why do people get sick when there's a sudden change in altitude?" Because God says so, stupid. "Where is the small intestine located?" Wherever God wants it to be located- now stop asking questions, puny human!
(Just so I know the answers to those questions: to provide an information center for the cell and control its goings-on ((and store chromatine)); because the air is thinner and your body needs an extra few weeks to get used to it and produce more red blood cells to compensate; and between the stomach and the large intestine.)
- Thinking about my-new-friend-Ryan and how much Megan needs a good fonging.
Things Still Left To Do
- One third of EuroHis prep. (Not that it matters, since we're not allowed to take any of our work in with us. Apparently we're supposed to memorize 8+ pages of fascist dictatorship.)
- A bit of studying for French (conditionnel mostly).
- A LOT of studying for Bio.
- Stop thinking about my-new-friend-Ryan and how much Megan needs a good fonging.
- A lot more studying for Bio.
The other day in our last French class of the year (*briefly freaks the fuck out*) Mme Raya told us that the two things we needed most for her exam were a good night's sleep and a good breakfast. (Shyeah, like that'll happen. It should be obvious by now that I don't sleep, and a good breakfast to me is a glass of Coke and reheated pizza. Never let it be said that I'm not a member of my generation.) When I tentatively asked if, assuming a good night's sleep was out, ungodly amounts of caffeine would suffice, she got one of those looks on her face, and launched into a Mme Raya Story.
Apparently, when Mme was in college she took a poetry class. The night before the exam she was nervous- toss and turn, cold sweats, what-if-I-forget-my-pants-tomorrow nervous- so she didn't sleep at all. To compensate, she drank two or three cans of Jolt the next morning, then went off to take the exam. One of the questions was on symbolism in that Robert Burns poem, Tam O'Shanter, and despite having studied the poem at great length, Mme just stared blankly at the paper for a while before finally writing:
"Tam O'Shanter was written in the Scots dialect. Probably not a good idea, since the only people who understand the Scots dialect are the Scots. Not being Scottish, I really don't have much else to say."
Oh, Mme Raya. You amuse me so, even though you're kind of neurotic and paranoid and a fairly crap teacher.
And, just so I write about something other than exams... ( You learn what you see. )
Diana? I'm sorry I missed you asking me to go on AIM earlier, but I wasn't on MSN and didn't check back for comments for a while, at which point it was twelve-ish. In any case I don't think I'll be going on AIM for the next week, because OMGEXAMS. But if you need any help with studying for French let me know. :)
Why did no one ever tell me that the girl who played Bianca in Ten Things I Hate About You was also Alex from The Secret Life of Alex Mack? I used to love that show. It made me want to get hit by a truck carrying toxic radioactive crap. (And holy shit, she was Dawn from The Babysitter's Club, too. Woah.)
