An end to finals

Dear Finals,
Fuck you. See you again in May.


Best regards,
John Engrav

The biggest question of them all: Why am I here?

I like the city that I live in. Farmington has been my home for my entire life. Even when I moved out for a year (I only moved away 2 miles). Unfortunetly, lately I have come to find out that there is not a whole lot going for me here. I moved back home because I am now going to he U of M (I am not working that many hours as before, so I could not afford rent). I want to go out friday and saturday nights with friends but none are around. My friend Rich is in the army and stationed in Georgia, my friend Dan is in the national guard and in Iraq as of right now. My friend Nico, I have called many times to see if he wants to go out. He never calls me back so I stopped trying to get in touch with him. My buddy Jon (former roomate) has his girlfriend tag along when we go out. It's okay that she comes along sometimes but, it would be fun if it was just us guys gong out drinking. That would be about it for friends to go out for a fun time on the weekends.
You may be asking "Where are you going with this?", well I was talking with a guy in my English class last tuesday. He said that he also commutes to school from Forrest Lake. He said he was thinking of staying on campus spring semester. So I think I will talk to him and see if he wants a roomate. I really dont like living at home so that might be an option. It kind of depends on what the kid says. Later

I guess i'm it.

I got tagged by Dawn so here we go.
Five things you may not know about me:
1. I watched every episode of the Office during finals week.
2. I really dont study for my finals. I basically just wing it.
3. I'm really not that much into office supplies like Dawn I guess.
4. I am the hugest procrastinator ever. I spent like 4 hours doing a 3 page paper. I got sidetracked by watching the Office sitcom.
5. I wish I owned my own farm.

To whoever is taking finals, I hope this helps

It was the night before finals,And all through the college,The students were praying
For last minute knowledge.
Most were quite sleepy,But none touched their beds,While visions of essaysdanced in their heads.
Out in the taverns,A few were still drinking,And hoping that liquorwould loosen up their thinking.
In my own apartment,I had been pacing,And dreading examsI soon would be facing
.
My roommate was speechless,His nose in his books,And my comments to himDrew unfriendly looks.

I drained all the coffee,And brewed a new pot,No longer caring That my nerves were shot.I stared at my notes,But my thoughts were muddy,My eyes went ablur,I just couldn't study.
"Some pizza might help,"I said with a shiver,But each place I calledRefused to deliver.I'd nearly concludedThat life was too cruel,With futures dependingOn grades had in school.

When all of a sudden,Our door opened wide,And Patron Saint Put It OffAmbled inside.His spirit was careless,His manner was mellow,He started to bellow:"What kind of studentWould make such a fuss,To toss back at teachersWhat they tossed at us?"

"On Cliff Notes! On Crib Notes!On Last Year's Exams!On Wingit and Slingit,And Last Minute Crams!"His message delivered,He vanished from sight,But we heard him laughingOutside in the night."Your teachers have pegged you,So just do your best.Happy Finals to All,And to All, a good test." -Author Unknown

My 100th Post.

Finals begin next week. And school has been a HUGE blur the entire semester. Half the time I am in a daze while at a lecture. I even notice people in my classes are either zoning out or sleeping. Today in my 20th century Europe class I zoned out. Now I don't mean like regular zoning out, I mean the type where you literally blank and look at the clock an all of a sudden 15 minutes have gone by. This has been happening a lot. I guess it's basically about finals and all the work that's going into them. Tomorrow I work with poncho, and I work with her again on Saturday morning so that'll be fun. Then on Sunday I get to work with Dawn finally. I think she started back at our store like a month ago, and I havn't got to work with her yet. Well let's all hope I can stay awake for my classes tomorrow. Later
