Where are my Fingers?!

One exam down, two to go. I suppose that three exams in three days isn't SO bad, but I can already feel my brain starting to react adversely to the sight of literature...even this literature. That sucks.

My exam today started at 2pm, guess who got there at 2:10pm? Ah well. I sat myself right down and dove right in. Three exam booklets, two hours and fifteen minutes later, I was exhausted and brain dead and I could no longer feel the fingers on my right hand, despite my having used my favourite ergonomic chunky pen. As soon as I scrawled my final closing remark, I flipped the book shut (I never read back over my exams--it's all do or die by then in my eyes), cringed as I realized I still had yet to fill in all the information blanks on three booklets, and then hopped my way down the stairs to the front of the lecture hall and handed my stuff in, collecting all my other work and never looking back on my way out.

Sitting here, I can calculate that I have just under 15.5 hours until I have to do it all over again. Therefore, I know I should continue on with my studying, but I think I'm going to take some alone time and head out into the sun for some fresh air before it sets completely. It's so hard to do the important stuff when you know in a few days you won't have to worry about it anymore for the whole summer. Bah. Now where are my rollerblades? I mean, I can't feel my fingers anyway, what's the use in trying to get them to write any more notes for today?

Song of the Moment: "Thank You In Advance" - Boyz II Men

Sitting here with a drink in my hand
Your presence I can't ignore
I must admit I like watching you dance
But it seems like I've seen this before
Girl, you look like my first wife
Though I've never been married before
So I kiss your hand and tell you "Thank you"
You turn and ask me what for

For our first kiss on next week
For when we make love in six weeks
For the ring you wore proudly three months from now
For when you said "I do" next March
And for those beautiful children of ours
Yes, I know it might sound strange cuz we just met
But I thank you in advance

Hi, my name is Shawn
Tell me your name
Although I know the last one
It's funny that we're shaking hands
Wait a minute, I know this hand
It's the same hand I'll hold in front of a minister
Same hand when you're havin' my son and his sister
I don't mean to sound so bold and forward
But I thank you in advance

It's like I came back in time to tell you thank you
You're as beautiful then as you are now
Look in the mirror, there is a picture
Of you and the man you love

For our first kiss on next week
For when we make love in six weeks
For the ring you wore proudly three months from now
For when you said "I do" next March
And for those beautiful children of ours
Yes, I know it might sound strange cuz we just met
But I thank you in advance

...

Those Boyz can woo me anyday.
