Last Week: Finals Week
April 26th, 2003 | by john |After passing Dead Week by quickly and more or less effectively, I am now starting to dread this weekend (today and tomorrow) since I will have to study my butt off for my three exams that I will have next week.
Friday was very interesting… especially starting Thursday. I had to study for my last Econ test so was in the library most of Thursday night. Came back around 2am and ordered some pizza with Dave and Chat. I was planning on heading back to the library to study all night but my eyes told me that I needed to sleep some… so I got 4.5 hours of sleep and woke up around 7am. Had some quick fruitful breakfast and headed back up to the library only to find that my body was really really tired and needed a shower to maybe wake it up. So went back to my room showered and studied there… Econ test was tougher then the last test, I tried to focus on all 6 chapters covered when I assumed in the back of my mind that the most important parts of this test were going to be the first 3 chapters we’ve covered… ironically, I tried to cover as much as I can of all 6 chapters but the test… about 80% of it only dealt with the first three chapters. *sigh* It sucked.
So today after my last Econ test and last DiffEqs test – went back to my room and did some work that I’ve neglected the whole past week. Seemed things were well taken care of still although we had those network problems earlier in the week. But anyways, went to play frisbee with my friends… sure enough when my day couldn’t get any worse… I was thrown a frisbee that was a bit off course so with my tendency to chase after freesbies – I did exactly that – except I neglected to look at what I was running towards until too late. I was running toward a picnic table while looking back trying to read the direction of the freesbie. Just as I turned around to check if anything was in front of me – I realized that I was headed right toward the picnic table so I tried to jump so I can step on top of the table… but nope, my right foot slipped in the slippery brick layered walkway (it was raining that morning) and so while my body was trying to stop, my right leg kept sliding toward the table and *WHAM* I smack the lower part of my right leg right smack against the bench of the picnic table. With the momentum that my right leg had with respect to the speed at which one point of my entire right leg slammed into the table bench – imagine your leg trying to bend forward and not backward and you should understand what kind of stress was placed on my knee cap. Ow- it hurt.
I’m still gimping because it feels weird to apply normal amount of pressure on my right leg anymore.
Anyways, haven’t had that much sleep in a while so I’m tired. Have a good night.
