Finals Week is Making My Brain Melt

Being that life has been so unusually odd in the last few days, I feel a blog update is necessary.
I have spent the last two full days studying for finals.  As in, from when I wake up (or get back from church) to very late.  Studying.  I'm not big on studying (not that anyone is), and I have never really felt the finals heat before this semester.  It's just weird, I've been locked in the dungeon for two days staring at text books and making flash cards.  And by dungeon, I mean the basement of a dorm next to mine where there are classrooms.  Also, I didn't get to bed last night till four in the morning which I literally think was a first in my life, and then I woke up five and a half hours later for church.  Oddly enough, I didn't feel the least bit tired all day until about five pm when I was sitting in the dungeon trying to finish my perspectives project.  So I caved and got coffee.  Coffee.  It felt so wrong, but it was necessary.  For a while anyways, I kind of accidentally just fell asleep on my textbook for a half hour.  Also, I dropped a really heavy (like, upwards of fifty pounds heavy) desk chair on my foot like an hour ago so that's starting to look pretty purple.
But the good news is (are you ready for it!?)  I FINISHED MY PERSPECTIVES PROJECT!  I also made flashcards for all of the vocab words I need to memorize for spanish, and I've glanced at my spanish essay.  So all I have for tomorrow is to re-write my essay and learn/memorize two months of astronomy.  Also, it's freezing in here.  I was originally really pumped about that fact because it was so hot outside but now that I'm sitting here on the floor in a skirt and sweater, I'm shivering.  But I know that as soon as I leave and get to my room I will be in pajamas and in bed so fast that my brain won't have any time to protest and my night of studying will be gone.
Also, it's kind of cracking me up watching other people study.  One of Kesha's friends is in the classroom with me studying and he's eating a loaf of bread.  That's his study snack.  And the other night we found him eating a jar of peanut butter with a spoon.  It's just silly, people eat the weirdest things during finals because you just want to grab something and make it last for the hours you're sitting at a desk trying to absorb information that you won't remember a week later.
I can't believe that it was just this morning that I went to church.  I feel like I've been here for days.
But tomorrow will be great because I feel really good about the spanish test and my project is done so all I really have to worry about is Astronomy (duh duh duh), and let me tell you, that test is going to give me a run for my money...
But I wish you luck, to those of you who are in the middle of finals madness.
Two more days, and it'll be all over.
Oh, the joy.
