Hell yeah. 70/70 on that Sociology essay. I've never gotten full credit on an essay before. I guess that's not exactly true. AP scores don't really work that way though.
These course evaluations are really getting me. I should think more before I complain I guess. I mean, I really did find everything that the class was about interesting. Identity was the most insightful for me, but even like social class and reading Karl Marx and talking about gender and how it's completely different than sexuality and then today the last thing she did was an overview of race and ethnicity. I don't know. I think those are all valid things to talk about. But I just don't like how clinical some of the research is. I guess it has to be, so that people can get a hint of objectivity, but I think that most of the things they are talking about you can't really understand without compassion.
We basically got the exam essay prompts today too. So, I will pass. No worries. But yeah. Done with classes. Junior year is basically over.
I like the way my calendar looks this month. Mostly because I have the 31st all circled with bright colors. Now that I can see it I'm realizing I still have things to do! There is time yet though. The most important things are happening this weekend. I'd still like to go to Prague if I can though. We'll see.
So, I have the most energy at around 10pm. And it's always at 10pm that I have the most gumption. It's happened a lot that 10pm rolls around and I think of going out for a jog. Now, 99% of the time I talk myself out of it because if I ever do anything at night--or during the winter--I end up getting asthma, and it freaks me out too much to be worth it. But! I've been feeling really restless and really anxious the last few days, or month, whatever, so I said fuck it I'm just going to do it and if I have to stumble back here and break up the party in the kitchen to guzzle some hot sugar water (which I think is only a psychological fix), then so be it. But! Miracle! I have no asthma tonight. It's fucking awesome. Maybe it's gone for real now. I would be so happy.
Anyways, it was a little weird though. My vision is worst at night. I think that's normal. But it's a little disconcerting going around this angular and tall campus at night when there's nobody around. Since they are building a new library they closed off that whole entrance to south campus, so I had to go around past the castle. It was cool with me though. I was in the mood for long detours and the like. The big empty dark rugby fields were a little too big empty and dark so I stuck to the parking lots and walkways between buildings. The only properly weird thing to actually happen was when I went back through the gates of south campus there was a guard and somebody else standing there talking. When I got near them they both just kind of stared at me. I don't know if I wasn't supposed to be there or what. I didn't want to stop if I didn't have to though, so I just kind of took my headphones out of my ears and stared back at them in case they were going to say anything to me. But they didn't, so I just awkwardly waved and said hey and ran past them. I'll probably avoid that in the future.
