I don't know how I did, but I'm done. I finished my prop exam before most of the others, but that doesn't mean I did well. I took the time to write a couple of smart-ass jokes at the end of my paper when I felt any more input would merely make things worse than better.

I checked my mailbox before I took the exam, and my final paper was in it. I finally showed a bit of self-restraint and didn't look at it until after the exam, good thing too because my grade was disappointing. Hope I still get my B, might be a B- or worse. It's only 2 credits but I thought I did better than that.

I've told myself that if I've done poorly this semester that I'm going to stop trying, but I don't know if I can honestly do that. What's nice this semester is a better perspective. I don't expect good grades, but if I receive them I'll be happy but not overjoyed. I have less emotional investment in the whole process. If I have shitty grades it'll hurt, but not so much. Low expectations get me through my life sometimes - seriously. This trick works for people too :) I don't mind getting dicked around so much when I don't expect much else.

Like the lovely Rikk, I take refuge in comedy central. I giggled at South Park for the first time in a long time (hail Satan) though I'm not sure if it was funny or if I was just relieved to not be facing the usual onslaught of work. Drawn together is always a nice thing. Amazing that some of the best scripts on TV are from animated shows. It's sad that writing is such a low priority in media, when all of the best and even the highest rated over the long-term are well-written.

Woke up at 4am and couldn't get back to sleep. I'm tired, but I don't care much. I feel a sliver of relief. Today I drive to Harrisonburg VA to conduct some twit's oral conference, and I'm really looking forward to the drive. Many mountains for me today, and if I'm lucky I'll find a hippie cafe out there by the school.
