Almost ready

Just finished the practice midterm. i got 30 out of 34, which is 88.23%. Grrr...

The interesting thing is...i took it very seriously, treated it exactly as if it were THE exam. i set the alarm, followed the format, and even panicked when there was still one particular question that i wasn't sure how to approach, when the two-hour time limit was finally coming up.

Okay...i got one more day. i think i am almost ready.

So orderly, yet so empty

Yes, it's that time of year again, time for you to pack, leave, and stay extremely busy for a week somewhere 45 minutes up north in T-Town.

When you are away, things drastically slow down. It's like all of a sudden i have on my hands all the time, all this space, all the silence, and despite the fact that i hardly ever turn on the TV, all the channels to myself. The rooms are neat; no loose items on the floor here and there, the chairs pulled back under the dining table, the couch cushions well in place, the kitchen and bathroom lights immediately off, the power cords tucked away. Things are in order, in a way they normally don't get to be.

When you are away, orderly is this small apartment, yet empty.
