Somehow this turned into a long tangent about killing time in class – with pictures!

My wrist/hand is recovering from completing my last final. If you’ve ever taken an exam next to me, (..or had a class.. or a heavy-note-taking lecture) I’m that obnoxious who cracks their knuckles.. and neck/head.. and limbs… This year I got in the bad habit of cracking my neck by pushing my chin to the [...]

This past Abnormal Psychology exam was the first time I didn’t have a panic attack while taking a psychology exam. (Oh the irony, considering the exam included questions about panic attacks.) There’s really two reasons for this rare occurrence.
1. I actually knew what the exam was asking me. The professor is a lazy tenure who [...]

I guess it helps when my mom says not to worry too much about grades, but I wish she’d just say “there’s more to life than school.”
Because that’s not the notion I was raised with.

I think I’m trying to graduate early so I could stop having panic attacks about grades I haven’t seen yet. I’m convinced I fucked up my exam and I think “What if I failed? What if I got a C?” My whole chest starts burning up to my cheeks and ears and I need to [...]

Life update: GDB

I always say that I don’t care about clothes, which is mostly true. I haven’t worn make up since I was about 12 or 13 and don’t really intend on disrupting my freckles any time soon. But one thing I do think a lot about is my hair – and right now, I don’t know [...]

Fall 2008 coming to an End

I procrastinate like no other.
Is it just me, or is Bobst far more crowded than it was either semester last year? I always got a seat in Bobst around 10pm and now I can’t get one around 6pm.
I spent the last few weeks looking forward to the end of this semester. It’s been incredibly busy [...]

I don’t know what’s more impressive: the fact that I fell asleep for 12 hours at 8pm, or that I took off my sweatshirt in my sleep without waking up.
This is the second time I passed out after working at the NYU bookstore. I guess it’s understandable if I only sat down for 20 minutes [...]

Second Week of NYU summer

Old habits die hard.
   
I slept a total of 2 hours because I was writing a scholarship essay that was due at noon. I finished at 9:30am or so, but I’m not a fan of destroying my sleep schedule so I pulled my blinds up and decided to make the best of the day.
The essay could [...]
