Can't stop this feeling

Waking up on Thursday morning was so strange. First, because it wasn't to my phone's obnoxious death alarm. Man, I wish I could somehow post what my alarm sounds like on here. For now, just imagine the jingle the Grim Reaper would play when he came for you - a deceptively happy flurry of evil death bells all chiming in seizure-inducing pandemonium. Ya, that's what I wake up to every morning.

Grim Reaper or janitorial Nazgul? Who knows...

But I digress. Thursday morning was special because for the first time I could remember, my first thought of "Oh God, today's the day I have to ___" was followed by...nothing. Sweet, blissful, nothing, nada, zilch. My exams were over with (for better or for worse). The competitive Mock Trial season had ended. I had a few job interviews lined up in the coming week. The world was at peace, just like Thundercat, who was curled at my feet, her little gray ear twitching as she probably dreamt about whose bed to pee on next.

I'm gonna piss on you...drip drip drip

You'd think I would've just closed my eyes and gone back to sleep at this point, but my body was still in winter quarter mode. So I got up and made three pounds' worth of hash browns and stuffed my face as I tried to ease my mind with the help of an episode of Keeping up with the Kartrashians. But even after all that, I was still nervous and jittery! I couldn't shake off the feeling that I was forgetting something big and important that was going to creep up behind me and kick my ass.

Not even Khloe can assuage my fears!

It's been 36 hours, and I'm still not fully relaxed. I can't really accept the fact that this quarter is over and that I'm home, in bed with another cat (...), thousands of miles away from Chicago. I don't know what's wrong with meeee I think I have postquartertum depression or something.

New obsession: Beartato & Reginald

I've never been big into webcomics (or any comics, for that matter). The slight entertainment value that I derive from reading them usually becomes quickly outweighed by the amount of effort needed to access the comic itself. However, as of late I have found one comic I've really enjoyed reading: the Nedroid Picture Diary.

The comic follows the usually non sequitur adventures and affairs of two friends, Reginald (an egocentric bird) and Beartato (a bear that resembles a potato). Reginald and Beartato are sometimes joined by periphery characters, like Beardo the Weirdo and Harrison the shark. The humor is understated and simple and while some of the comics are kind of absurd, most of them are actually really funny. At least, in my opinion they are.

Then again, I can sit around and watch iCarly all day, so I'm not sure if my amusement radar is to be trusted. Regardless, I have found a new appreciation for webcomics, and am on the hunt for any others that can join the elite list of sites that I obsessively check every day.

bai2u metrics!

I AM SO DONE-ZO WITH ECONOMETRICS! HALLELUJAHHHHHHH!!! AND I DIDN'T THINK I DID THAT TERRIBLY ON THE FINAL! (WATCH ME GET A D THOUGH!)

I got back from my final this morning at around 11 (it started at 8:20...disgusting), crawled under the covers, turned my phone on silent, and watched YouTube videos of kittens mewing for about 20 minutes. Then I fell asleep...for 6 hours. I wasn't supposed to sleep that long, but I hadn't set my alarm or anything, so I missed out on a shake date with some of my sexy girlfraaaands, which was a fail. But besides that, it was the most glorious of naps, and I am so ready to conquer the deluge of Mock Trial, Little Red Schoolhouse, and interview prep that awaits me in the next few days.

So yeah, sorry for this being such a boring, peasant-level entry, but I think econometrics has haunted my footsteps for so long that it deserves its own victory post!
