Approaching the End...

Hello everyone. As the title of the post indicates the semester is almost over. Luckily I only have two finals this semester which are both on Monday but they are both rather long comprehensive finals, oh well. Unfortunately, I do have a list of things to do over x-mas break which include getting a haircut(my hair is uncharacteristically long at the moment and looks rather doofy), working on a personal statement for law school(maybe), finishing and polishing my senior sem(god I hate this)and seeing a select few people over break. The whole senior sem thing really bothers me. They try to sell it as this large team effort that you need to do well on because it's the so called "capstone" of your college career and makes your degree more valuable somehow. First, if it is the so called "capstone" of my college career why is this requirement no more then 2 years old? Second, I don't believe my degree will be worth more or less based on the quality of 8 senior sems. Third, I honestly don't care how anyone else does on theirs I'm not getting graded based on their projects. To make the situation even worse we are forced to attend every other person's senior seminar from the poli sci division or it will negatively impact your final grade. Fuck that noise! I try to refrain from swearing on here but that deserves it. We even have to show up on days where no one from our class is presenting. Honestly the whole senior seminar thing for poli sci hasn't been well thought out or well implemented at all and needs some serious work to be valuable at all. Granted there is nothing I can do about it and I will do what is required of me but it doesn't mean I have to like it or be positive about it. The funny thing is according to Paula(prof who runs this god awful class)I write beautifully,only one term can describe that phrase omglmaowtfroflcoptercyclebbq. My buddy Josh will be home shortly over break so it will be good to see him. I'll prolly only spend a few days at home and most of the rest in Morris. I will most likely spend quite a few hours playing wow and doing other things to waste time instead of real work. Sigh, the real work has to get done though to so I can graduate and leave this place behind me. Getting the lsat back should be an interesting experience and hopefully my score will be good. I won't be telling people my score unless I'm happy with it, so if I have to retake the thing don't count on me telling you my score. Please don't try to give me some schpeal about being my friend and wanting to know cuz you care. Needless to say that will be a major source of anxiety and stress til I actually get it. I do apologize if my posts seem a bit down lately. Right now is quite a difficult time for me for a number of reasons but I'll drudge through it like I always do. Anyways I wanna wish you all a happy and safe holiday season I hope you are able to spend it with people you care about and who care about you enjoy yourselves but be smart and safe. Peace and much love.

You're gonna tell me your score because I'm your friend and I care, and also because I will sexually harass you until you do.
