Life always shoots me down when I'm least expecting it

Last night I finished a looooong week of midterms assignments and just plain craziness.

Sunday I spent 7 hours on a physics assignment. I would have been at it longer if it weren't for the 6 hour dance meeting and rehearsal for our show next weekend.
My roommate returned from two weeks in Panama, and the apartment got a littler smaller.

Monday I handed in the assignment after very little sleep. No sleep for Lindsay... I started studying for math. Meanwhile, there was a rendez-vous of 20 people in our living room. ~10 Campus for Christ students and staff from the University of Western Ontario trekked all the way out to Montreal for the week. Unfortunately I didn't have much of a chance to hang out with them. But it sure was a blessing to our ministry.

Tuesday I crammed and exammed. I think I might have a B in math! Wooooo!

Wednesday I started studying for physics... dredded quantum mechanics. My study buddy didn't show up, but another friend showed up and we studied for hours. I worked out most of a computer programming assignment due the next day.

Yesterday was Thursday. Everyone in my physics class was more worried than they'd ever been about an exam. We studied and studied... and gave up studying. I spent another 2 hours on my computer assignment and handed it in.

My roommate and I got together to chat. We've figured out that life in such a small apartment (three people in a two bedroom) isn't working so well. We need to split up (someone moves out) or we need to get rid of 1/2 of our stuff. I think I've decided it'll be best for me to move out. At least I'll be living with students... people who have schedules more like mine. *Sigh*

Then the physics exam. It actually wasn't so bad... for everyone else!
I'd concentrated so much on what was giving me trouble (wave packets, wave functions, psi, probability densities) that I forget to go back and study the easy stuff from the beginning of the course. Yikes!

Frostbite (the Engineering ice cream shop) gives out free cones to people who can prove they got <30% on a midterm... who wants my free ice cream?
