mood: big
music: 'i'm a believer' by the monkees
they give us two hours to take our finals.  i finished my linguistics final in 35 minutes.  i went right thru it, but i'm worried, but i don't want to care, you know?  so i don't care.
more importantly i finished my research paper on ikea and i couldn't wait to get that thing to my section leader and away from me.  a huge burden off my shoulders.  which isn't exactly a good thing, because it feels like i can relax now, though i can't.  tomorrow i have two finals: bio and philosophy starting at 8am and ending at the latest at 12:30.
then one more final on wednesday, but it's the mother of all pains in the ass: humanities core.  there's a bunch of lecture material on paz and azuela that apparently no one gets.  so when i look at my notes and see a blank page, but look in my head where it feels like i understand it, i get worried.  'cause i may be profound at times, but this profound?  this extraordinarily gifted?  i don't think so.  paz speaks so often of masks and bougainvillea and los pachucos and la chingada and i see it all molding into the circle that drives students and teachers mad alike.  but i get it?  let's hope so.  i want the schoolyear to go out with a quiet bang.  one that has to do with paragraph after paragraph.  ideology, love, and revolution.
