an end in sight?
It's final exam time. Back at Berkeley that meant the mainstacks and Moffitt would be overrun by grungy, unhygienic, pajama-pants-and-hoodie clad bleary-eyed students semi-consciously picking their way through mounds of textbooks and Blacklightning notes with cans of liquid caffeine in tow. Here in New York though students are a bit more, shall we say, sophisticated? It seems I missed the memo stating that unkempt presentations of the self are far from acceptable at graduate level education. Oopsie. Where my shabby homies at?
After hours of studying, here's what I learned today:
- Entenmann's chocolate chip cookies are inferior to Chewy Chips Ahoy (which, by the way, now comes in an oatmeal-based form).
- Eating does not alleviate anxiety; it only makes you fat.
- Ain't no love like a mama's love.
- The CA/NY time difference comes in mighty hand on those late-night walks home.
- Screams from a trajectory cell phone may or may not elicit fear from a potential offender.
