so much for being hellish today. hellishly warm outside, maybe -- it's as if berkeley was in southern california with the heat and dry air and stuff. at least there wasn't the winds that smell like cow shit, or the blatantly fake people wandering on 'melrose' or in their superconvertiblerich cars, just bums on telegraph and frazzled undergraduates taking their final exams. so i had two. no big deal.

portuguese final was a cakewalk. i ended up having two hours to spare (of the three allotted to take the final), which was actually very nice. the room we were taking it in, two thirty-four hearst gym, was an oven. but as i was leaving, this guy in the front row gives me an incredulous look, saying "you're done?!?" at the top of his lungs, making the class stare at me with a) hate, b) disgust, c) bewilderment or d) a combination of all of the above. i had a few hours to spare to review some of my mcb material, then went to haas pavilion (yeah, the basketball court) for my mcb final. once again, i ended up having two hours to spare (of the three allotted to take the final).

in other words, boys and girls, i kicked both of my finals' asses today.

now that those two are out of the way, i have much more time to concentrate on my pending spanish final, getting stuff ready to move out, and doing this apartment shit.

justin timberlake's 'rock your body' and 'oh no what you got' are two very addicting songs to listen to. maybe it's the inner boy-band addict in me, the closet teenybopper per se, but who cares -- whatever he's doing, i like it, and i don't care for more. (the entire album, in general, is very good anyway; so sue me if i like him.) i've just been listening here and there to some radio stuff, rotating with a classical collection and another esoteric rock collection.

obviously not listening to jacob's blasting of weird al yankovic over his massive enormogantous-ginormous sound system, but then again, that's why i'm wearing my headphones and blasting some justin on full volume. i dunno, i've never really like weird al (except for that one song, 'i got a funny feeling / you don't love me anymore...' cos it sounded sincere). white people, though, apparently find him to be a musical genius. it has to have something to do with the polka, i'm sure. (oh you silly white kids, i still love you all.)

political science commencement at the greek tomorrow. it's at two, so i guess i'll go since i have not much better to do. it'll be a nice diversion from studying so damn much. (i haven't slept much this week. like the past two days have been one long stream of consciousness.)

and now i'm off to analyze some literary works in spanish. if you emailed me or wanted a translation of the post from two days ago, i'll get that to you soon. it's kinda important that i get an a in this class first, though. otherwise miguel won't get into his double major at the end of fall semester.
