No worries. It's just a test.
So, I'm in the middle of finals week and I'm absolutely loving my life. Seem ironic? Perhaps a little, but I'm really trying to make the most out of this last little bit of my college experience.
I just got back from studying communication ethics at a coffee shop with some friends - they make ethics much more fun. (And they help come up with wacky ways to remember obscure lists. For example, "Forgotten Girls Just Voted No Boys Stay" naturally triggers Ross' Competing Duties: Fidelity, Gratitude, Justice, Veracity, Nurture, Beneficence and Self-improvement. Don't ask me how, but it works for us.)
Technically, ethics should be my hardest final, but I'm feeling no stress at all. The test is tomorrow morning at 10:30 a.m. I still have a ways to go before I've truly conquered the material, but I'm feeling pretty confident (and perhaps a bit overly optimistic).
Aside from the fact that Leah and I spent 3 hours in the radio production studio completing a project that should have taken about 15 minutes (we're no techies), it's been a great day. I had a final this afternoon in media criticism, but it just involved defining a bunch of terms and was pretty easy. That's one final down and two more to go.
After my media crit. final, I did some grocery shopping (I love grocery shopping) and seeing all that food inspired me to do some cooking. (Anything to procrastinate studying for ethics.) So, I went home and made a really great salad with all the fresh produce I'd purchased and invented my own casserole loosely based on my mom's tater tot casserole, minus the tater tots. Cooking is a lot more fun when you just make it up as you go and don't follow a recipe. It actually turned out pretty good: ground beef, a can of pinto beans in chili sauce, chopped orange and green bell peppers and cream of chicken (not mushroom) soup all mixed in a casserole dish and topped with grated cheddar. I ate it with corn tortillas and it was scrumptious. The only problem is that I hardly made a dent, so I'll be eating on it for awhile. I got a little carried away and made some teriyaki chicken too, since I had chicken to use up and the oven was already hot. So, I'll be eating real meals for the next few days.
Anyhow, enough procrastinating with random rambling. My ethics notes are screaming to be perused. I suppose I should comply.
