Okay, so I failed already.\u00a0 But two hours late isn’t bad at all.<\/p>\n
So today was my first exam of 3, and I have a pretty good feeling about my performance.\u00a0 A lot of people let themselves get really stressed around exam times, and I understand it, because I’m one of the most stressed out people in the world, and I crack under pressure pretty easily.\u00a0 But exams aren’t that big a deal for me because I’ve made myself less concerned with the consequences.\u00a0 People are worried in their finals because they’re afraid of the penalty they’ll get to their grade if they do poorly, but I’ve made peace with the idea that if I relax, study as well as I can, and then just go do my best I can be happy with whatever mark I get.\u00a0 Fortunately, the fact that I’m not always stressed out means I perform better, and thus I have less to worry about.\u00a0 With regards to exams, anyway.<\/p>\n
Dell still continues to incur my wrath.\u00a0 They called Sam today (or yesterday, I suppose) to tell me to pick up my empty box in Richmond.\u00a0 Well, first they asked if “Claws got his package delivered to him” which is a strange question to ask since they never actually made any kind of delivery attempt.\u00a0 My current stance on this is that if they’re going to be this irresponsible with an empty box, I’ll be damned if I’ll entrust them with anything of monetary value to me.\u00a0 Dell offends me so much.\u00a0 The very fact that a corporation with such horrible service is allowed economic prosperity is practically a valid critique of the free market on its own.<\/p>\n
But I ought not to get upset before I go to sleep.\u00a0 Tommorrow promises to be a rather relaxing day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
