Curse you finals.

Everyone has snapped here in the centre. Finals are making us all go crazy...that's what happens when you're supposed to take five in two days. I think I've seen four people tonight have emotional breakdowns...oh boy. Usually you'll have a week to spread them out, and you can do this:

1) Study for one final

2) Take the test

3) Forget about the test

*Repeat*

But that's not how it is here...All forty students are frantically trying to cram for all their tests at the same time because they're all one right after another. Which results in chaos. The worst part is trying to find a quiet place to study. Not possible. Me and Alyssa were studying in the little hallway by our dorm and this is what ended up happening. We hit a wall...

Good thing is...I made it through three finals today. I was originally supposed to have four, but luckily BYU has a policy where you don't have to take more than three in one day, so I'll be taking my last two tomorrow. Studying next year will be SO easy...I'll have a quiet library, time and a regular routine.

I'll move on from finals though. I'm done thinking about those tonight. I just used my British Literature study guide as a gum wrapper. It felt good to know I will never have to look at that document again. I've spent too much time with it. Now we're watching The Holiday in our room because we needed to watch a movie. Anything that doesn't require thinking. It reminds me of watching it at Josiah's house around Christmas...that makes me happy.

These make me happy too: Daffodils!!! Everything is blooming here, finally! This is what I run past when I go to Hyde Park...a sea of daffodils! We read in literature a poem of William Wordsworth that spoke of how happy daffodils make him. I understand now.

A couple of days ago I went to the park to get away from the centre and found a bench to sit on (because that's what benches are for) and studied some. This is the bench I found, I sat on it because it said this on the back: "Do sit and enjoy life". I liked that. No idea who this Pam Weisweiller is.

So I've been going to the park as much as I can during finals week. Which is not as much as I want to but what can you do! So this is my rambling blog just saying that it's finals and it's been insane and I will be so relieved when they're over and that I love parks.

And here's me and Sarah at dinner. Mmm soup. It'll be weird not having dinner at 5:30 every night in the servery. Okay bye!
