What do you "assign" to the Shire?

Lengthy conversations with my sister about the Krebs cycle via IM...written in 1337. Such fun.

Seeing your (now) former students celebrating their day of getting out of the school!

How they and you yourself love the thing and still feel so sorry about it!

When that feels both ways, it's heaven and hell at the same time.

So good! So happy!

Wow.

We were trying to come up with a story about the cycle to help her memorize it for finals next week. Finals, by the way, belong in Mordor, and I'm glad I don't have final exams anymore. It was a pretty horrible story. Example: It all started when Ox[aloacetate] and Py[ruvate] got together over orange juice [=citrus fruit = citrate]. Then they left, so the juice was alone [alone = isolated = isocitrate].

I think the 1337 made the story more memorable.

So true. My only two finals are both the last day of finals week.

I assign the friends of mine that are paying for me to eat next week, because I've got about $30 left on my meal card to last me until next Friday.

I say old bean, that most assuredly belongs in Mordor - or at least ATM.

I feel guilty for celebrating the end of the quarter now, since my finals ended yesterday, and all of my friends have them today and tomorrow. Well, at least there is friday.

I assign to the Shire finals via final papers. They seem to be less of a worry over, and much more rewarding to turn in. Especially when you can finally go to sleep at night and not have half of the paper going through your head, because you've re-read it millions of times.

Having one of your classes finish more than a month before all your others. And having the final for said class be a take-home test.

Tea. Especially chai. There's nothing better to warm you up on a cold day than a steaming mug.

Sitting in the kitchen trying to revise, and being interrupted by the sudden need of my housemates to be 5 again. We made paper snowflakes and started a collection for Christmas decorations, and we made an extremely irreverent nativity scene. It was great fun.

Huh. I s'pose I slept better in uni than the average bloke, but it would've done me good grade-wise if maybe I'd re-read my papers more than about half a time....
