It's 3 AM and I'm about half way through my all nighter for this semester's exams. And I must say, contrary to what one may think, I'm psyched for my exams! Well my english one at least.
It's kind of funny because even though it's really late at night and my brain should theoretically be fried from so much absorbtion, somehow I have been given the ability to analyze poems even more precise in terms of structure wise, and literary devices. AND somehow I'm able to remember more details from poems and even dates! Here let me list some down that I've remembered in the last 5 minutes for my own studying purposes:
Renaissance (1550-1674)
Romance (1798-1832)
Victorian (1837-1901)
Modernist (1890-1930)
"RenRoVicMod"
Matthew Arnold, "Dover Beach" 1867
William Butler Yeats, "Second Coming" 1921
T.S. Eliot, "The love song of J. Alfred Prufrock" 1917
Yes I know that seems like very little to be proud of, but you try memorizing those friggin dates and matching them to the right periods while keeping them paired correctly with each other. I also had to remember the author's entire name, poem name, and date of publication. So yeah I'm proud...
As for criminology, that's another story. We'll see how that one progresses over the night, but English is my main concern as it is worth double for GPA and it's my first of the two tests...
Freedom is near. Speaking of which, while I was in the middle of writing my Calc exam in the gymnasium, some funny things happened. One was that after some ppl walked out relatively early in the test, you could hear this one guy swearing and yelling in the hall while punching lockers (haha loser). AND, after even some more time, suddenly this guy who's walking on the overhead lookout of the gym shouts "FREEEEDOM!" into the gym so loud that it echos for a while. What a jackass.... it's ppl like him that piss me off, much like ppl who say I'm stressed. But hey that's getting into Ryan's material.
Just before I go, I couldn't help but watch some of Conan and Leno since I was gonna be staying up so late anyway. Leno had Bill and Conan had Kwame from the Apprentice on their shows. I've finally realized how utterly lame Leno is because he isn't very funny when it comes to interviews, but at the same time Conan ALWAYS does the exact same stuff during his monologue! What's up with that?!?! He always does the whole Trump impression too, right during the same time. But anyway, Conan was talking about how this guy from American Idol apparently looks like him according to everyone. I think it's a pretty friggin close match, but you need to check it out yourself. The guy's name is John Stevens. Oh and Conan is officially stealing a phrase from Ryan Seacrest from American Idol, because he just noticed it during the last show. You know how Ryan Seacrest always says at the end of the show "Seacrest out"? Well Conan thought it was really cool, so from now on he's gonna say it. But it's not gonna be "Conan out", he's gonna say "Seacrest out".
Anyway probably funnier if you had watched the show itself as I suck at telling jokes. And that paragraph was much longer than I anticipated. So I'm gonna get to some good old criminology.
Seacrest Out.
