Yet Another Chapter

Listening: Eidolon - The Synthetic Dream Foundation

A short post today, because I have to get back to studying for my Spanish exam on Thursday. Still, it's better than nothing. Right? Right? Sure it is.

Ben found me yesterday in a state of spazz, last-minute jitters taking a severe toll on my state of mind. We went to breakfast, which helped immeasurably, although my camera decided it was going to be a bitch and I learned with some surprise that the only thing Ben cannot stand to eat is egg. (Although neither of us are terribly fond of liver, either. Eugh.) Now he's going to message me all, "Aw man, why'd you have to go and post that?", not realizing it's for his own good. Memo to everyone: never feed Ben an egg. See, Ben? Now you'll never have to eat one. Unless I decide to feed one to you out of sheer mischief.

I was in a state of mind-numbing panic by the time twelve o'clock rolled around and I went in to write my Linguistics exam, but the exam gods were on my side. ("Which of these are dialects of the same language? Hah! Cantonese and Mandarin! Take that, authoritah!") They had some crazy rule in place where you couldn't leave during the last half-hour of the exam, which made no sense to me. Anyhow, I ended up not finishing at 1:35, so I had to stay for the next 25 minutes doing nothing. That sucked, but I got to prance off then and find Jam & Co.

Someone suggested we go get our marks back from Dalton, since she was in her office yesterday, and off we tromped in a big line of nerves. Rae brought up mention that our final exam was now worth 50% of our final grade, so that was... exciting. And by exciting I mean I screamed. Anyhow. When we found Dalton's office, she called us all in one by one, asking to speak to me last. Probably because my paper was a million years late, I thought, which spurred insane nervousness. When she finally talked to me, lo! I ended up getting a B+/A- on the paper. For the win.

We spent the next few hours in the Library, attempting to study and only really telling loud stories which invoked further loud laughter and having the people in the room next to us knock really hard on the wall to try to shut us up. We didn't, but meh.

And now I leave you with a discussion that Cole and I were having in regards to her Medieval Studies exam.

Kid: Mommy, how did you meet daddy?
You: Well you see, I was tied naked to a rock in tribute to a savage monster that was terrorizing the coast, and your father was on his way back from beheading an ugly bitch with the power of rock and roll...
Danny Elfman: I love this story.
Pharaoh «You'll always be a prince to me...» says:
There's nothing sexier than being held naked in chains, and a guy coming out of no where on a winged horse to save you-- who's also possibly naked.
Pharaoh «You'll always be a prince to me...» says:
LOL
Pharaoh «You'll always be a prince to me...» says:
"Perseus, returning to his native land after numerous adventures, saw Andromeda abandoned to her fate and fell in love with her. He at once promised her parents to rescue her if they would give her to him in marriage. They agreed, and Perseus killed the dragon and freed the princess."
Pharaoh «You'll always be a prince to me...» says:
He had to go talk to her parents before saving her XD

That would have gone over real well

Cole: OH JESUS THERE'S AN ENORMOUS MATTY P GONNA EAT ME AND I WANT TO BE SAVED, RIGHT NOW
Danny Elfman: I'll work on that. *disappears*
*Twenty minutes later*
Danny Elfman: Wicked! Your folks say we can marry.
Cole: WELL THAT'S GREAT NOW THAT MY LEGS ARE GONE
Pharaoh «You'll always be a prince to me...» says:
XD
Pharaoh «You'll always be a prince to me...» says:
Exactly!
