Yesterday, I took my Literary Studies exam. At first, the server allowing me access was overloaded by other students. I had a minor moment of panic when I thought the problem might have been with my computer instead of the internet, but an hour later I got in.
As expected, it wasn't all that tough. The most difficult questions were those with tiny distinctions between possible answers. However, I filled in every blank and feel reasonably confident about all of them. We'll see in a few weeks how well that confidence is placed.
Today, in a desperate attempt to avoid studying more for heat and mass and to honor the all sacred Day of Valentine, I made Nutella brownies and talked with a guy about American commercialism, which transformed into a talk about American indifference, corruption, incompetence, and lies. I've talked with friends about the Iraq war being all about oil, politicians being dirty, and the public (myself included) being uninformed about foreign affairs. Hearing it from a non-American that I'm not friends with though....I felt surprisingly defensive. It did motivate me somewhat to get more informed about what the heck is even going on in the world. One more thing on my "after finals" to-do list.
