...and it only gets better when finals are over! I have two down and two to go, but only one that is troubling me: Federal Income Tax. [cue: scary chord] It's been a difficult subject for me to grasp and I feel utterly unprepared for it. To make matters worse, I having a terrible time trying to study for it and the final is first thing on Monday morning. I can come up with all sorts of excuses to avoid studying it, like right now for instance, I felt I really needed to update my blog--in the heat of finals. I set out to get a calculator today for my final since we're not allowed to use our cell phones, palm pilots, laptops, or anything that we already own that can do mathematical computations. That trip ended up being a tour of 5th Ave. in Brooklyn from Park Slope to Bay Ridge and back again. Then, I spent several hours watching the Christmas special of In the Attic starring Rachel Fuller, Mikey Cuthbert, Simon Townshend, and Pete Townshend (including special guest Jerry Hall). That was a blast. Great music, great show. My only complaint is that there wasn't really any Christmas music on their Christmas show.
So, back to talking about school. The first two finals went pretty well. I was somewhat prepared and almost understood what was going on when I read the questions. Tax, however, is a different story. I have no idea what section to apply to the problem. If I can figure that out, then I'll do okay, because I do have some skill at reading code and sort of understanding what is happening. Oh, so far, we have avoided a transit strike, but it looks like it may be happening after all. I'm just glad I'll be done with my finals when they do strike. That certainly alleviates some stress out of my life knowing that when I wake up Monday morning I will be able to go to school on the train and be there for my exam.
I leave to go home for Christmas on Wednesday. I can't wait. I haven't been home since last Christmas (which was a nightmare--not being home, but the trip). Last year, it took me 30 hours to get home because we got stuck in snowed in Cincinnati airport. I wised up this year and although there aren't supposed to be any blizzards; I've taken the precaution of getting a flight that goes without stopping anywhere that isn't less than 2 1/2 hours from home. Yay for getting older and wiser!
Alright, I've got to get back to studying, or I have to start studying....just as soon as I eat dinner, and play guitar, and juggle, and call my girlfriend, and oh who am I kidding?

Yes I was sad there wasn't any Christmas music either ~sigh~ oh well. I don't think they really believe in the stuff we do anyway because of their beliefs in reincarnation etc..but hey we are all needed to make the world go round!
Good luck getting home! Glad you are not being held back by the strike!
My Aunt Lives in Park Slope by the way...I may be there in the Summer if all goes as planned!
