30 April: Last Day of Classes

Graduation is looming a day closer, as is the beginning of my TESOL training, and I feel as though everything is about to happen at once. In a way it's easier to live one day to the next like this- like we learned in metaphysics class today, if you gain virtue it's for the purpose of acting and it's habit-forming. So really, no matter how much finals are crunch time, they'll just show the end result of a semester's worth of practice- either reviewing your notes every night or reviewing them frantically before the exam, or somewhere in between those two extremes. I'm somewhere in the middle for the most part.
My classes in review are as follows:
Creative Writing- I wish she'd get back to me about the revisions/changes I made. If it's less than an A, I have enough time (I'll make time) to fix it and make it as near perfect as I can.

WW2- This class was great, though I'm glad I wasn't taking it for credit. I learned a lot from it and got a folder full of maps too!

Metaphysics- After this semester I'll never have to take another philosophy class again if I don't want to! I'm so glad this class is over! Now I just need to pass the final...

American Novel- I'm glad to be done this class, but I really wish I had the midterm and the paper back from it so I can have a better idea of how well I have to do on the essay questions of doom.

Medieval Christendom Lit- Again, we had no midterm for this class and the paper was late in the term, so I don't know where I stand in this class. My journal entries aren't perfect, I don't think, I also think they're all awfully short. But since he hasn't commented, I really don't know. If it's really all T/F, fill in the blank and matching, with extra credit for writing out the Our Father, I'll be okay, I think...

Astronomy- I'm not looking forward to this final. It seems stupid but I'm having real difficulty with this, mainly with visualising how things are supposed to be. This is because I have to take notes for this class on my computer, and this is one of those classes I'd rather be taking notes in a notebook for. Thankfully he's letting us turn in extra credit up through the day of the exam.... How much can I make up over this weekend, I wonder? I guess I'll find out.

12 days and counting until I start the TESOL class. 10 days until graduation. So where should I say my imram properly begins? Yesterday, when I decided what it was? Today, because it was my last day of classes? At the end of exams? On the first day of the TESOL class? The first day after the class is over? I don't know, and I'm not going to worry about it, though I will admit to definite curiosity on the matter.
