Finals:
I studied all night, last night, for my hardest final. I had the midterm just last week (a push back thanks to the strike) and yet again another exam popped up.
I only slept for about 4 or 5 hours, which I have not done since UCLA. And I thought those days were behind me. But of course, my genius idea to study here brought me back into that bittersweet pastime. I even woke up a little early to review what I had studied the night before. Which is pretty common in the world of final exams. Though I should not have worried about knowing all the material (since I AM taking this class pass, no pass) - I could not help but have the receiving an A state of mind. Mind you, I only need a 2.8 out of 7 (Chilean grades are numeral). Well anyway, I did my best to master all my notes and readings.
So as the time came near to finally take the exam, I ate a quick breakfast of champions (consisting of toast and green tea - classy I know) and ran out the door to my class. And to my surprise...the professor decided that our final would be, wait for it, a take home test. Kill me. Though I am totally relieved of this revelation - I cannot help but think that my time of studying was put to total waste. The take home exam is staring at me as I write - laughing, and knowing I studied so hard. But, I should stop complaining, and consider myself extremely lucky to have a great professor, totally and utterly compassionate towards the exchange students. Shout out to Professor Nash.
So now I have another 11 hrs to compose a 1300 word response for a 3 question exam. And you know what, I wont have to waste time staring at my notes to try to answer them. Hopefully. Upside. So wish me luck.
Internship:
Another quick update, 2 of my articles for the online magazine I am working for are finally up. Since I know a good hundred people (haha, its a fledgling online magazine - what can I say) are reading it, I might as well invite you all to as well. Up the total web hits per day. No?
