Stalling...

I've been a bit MIA due to a midterm I will be taking in less than 30 minutes and another one tomorrow morning. However, I'm pretty sure my brain is incapable of any further knowledge absorption, so I thought I should reassure my 5 (5 now!) readers that I'm indeed still breathing. It's funny how grueling mid-terms/finals always are and amazingly enough, I've managed to survive them all. Hopefully this will be no exception.

I have some exciting news. Probably not for anyone, but myself, but due to the fact that
P(of this ever happening | me) << 1,
I thought that because this being the first and probably last time it will ever occur, it would be fitting to make it a once-in-a-lifetime holiday that I should rejoice in with all of you.
I got 100% on my CFD midterm last week! Can you believe it? I thought they didn't make those anymore!! It has been a long time since I've even seen that on a homework assignment, let alone a midterm! Just so you all don't think I'm too special, I might add that it was a pretty easy test and I think a lot of people must have done really well... (I know of at least one other person who did as well) BUT, needless to say, the number still stands. For me, this is an achievement I will never forget, for when I take on a midterm, I don't see it as me against all these other poor sleep-deprived souls trying to scribble out equations on severely small desks... no, it is me against the system... against all those people who care about grades and not learning. This, my friends, is the ONE time I took out not only Stanford, but "the man" on a midterm. I can now rest at ease.

Cell Battery Life Query

I feel the need for a survey. My old phone battery was AWESOME. I would charge it a couple of times a week and it would only take 10 or 15 minutes to become full again. My NEW battery needs charging every 24 hours (or more frequently if I talk on it long) and it takes 2 or 3 hours to become full. Is this normal?

I just HAVE to share!

I've been trying not to post more than once a day, but I MUST share this fabulous piece of my family.

Is it wrong...?

that I, for some reason, have a strong desire to keep my emptied jam jar? Just looking at it makes me want to be crafty...

and what if I need it?

I guess technically I'm too late...

But it's not MY fault I was doing homework all night! (Okay, you're right it is...)

I wanted to make sure to wish you all a HAPPY HALLOWEEN anyway :)
