Today was one of those days where I realized that finals are actually coming up very very soon. It's only another three weeks of classes, a week of "reading" and then are the three weeks of finals. We finally figured out when our finals are (for some reason they're stupid and don't actually tell us until October), and I'm actually psyched that mine are all in the first week. I would HATE for mine to all be the last week of November so all I can do all month is think about the hell to come. Plus I'm used to doing all my finals in one week since in Amuurica that's what we do, and I'm not even used to a full week off to study for them before hand, so I think it should be enough time to study! Then I can have two weeks left in Australia to do whatever I like! Seems like a good enough time to me!
The downside of finals coming up is that the classes are reallllyy starting to get complicated, well, one in particular. My genetics class is completely going over my head sometimes because he goes so fast, so today I found myself going over the recording for one lecture for 2 hours starting and stopping so I could frantically write what I wanted. It's a good thing my lecturer changed or I would have been COMPLETELY lost. I guess my schooling had to get tough at some point! Luckily for me, all my other classes have remained consistently easy so I have been able to devote the majority of my time to understanding the vast world of genetics while still acing my other classes. It definitely is a comfort!
Now in TWENTY MINUTES I am headed for the weekend out to the Grampians! I'm super excited except for the rainy forecast that may or may not make me completely miserable, but I'm going in with a positive outlook! Oh! And on a completely separate note, I am trying to cut my gum addiction, since gum is so expensive here, by using mints instead. I decided to eat a mint every time I wanted to chew a piece of gum and thought for some reason it would leave me completely satisfied. The result, however, is me popping eclipse mints like crack cocaine. I think I need to go to gum addicts anonymous. Damn it's minty deliciousness.
