Crunch Time

I'm in the home stretch of the end of the semester, which ends of May 15th.

I have the following standing in my way:
  • a 5 - 8 page Philosophy paper
  • a 6 page paper on Othello
  • 90 more pages of a novel
  • a chapter review assignment
  • designing a web page
  • a Computer Science test
  • a Sociology paper
And then, the following exams:
  • Computer Science final
  • English Literature essay final
  • Philosophy essay final
  • Writing Proficiency Exam
Two weeks. Just a little over two weeks. I can do this.

I honestly can't believe that my Freshman year of college is practically over... I feel like I've grown a lot this year, and with all the things that are coming up soon, I feel very optimistic that that growth will continue throughout the summer and next year. It's just strange to think that I'll be done my first year and turning twenty soon; I feel like I just moved in!

How time flys when you're having fun. ;-)

I Really Wish I Were 21 Right Now

It's raining on Long Island. What a surprise.

As for the title, I was supposed to be attending a concert tonight in NYC. Chris Mann (who opened for Idina Menzel during her fall tour) is playing, and I was so pumped to go. Got on the guest list and everything (it's a private event), and then found out that it's 21+ admission. Why didn't they advertise that on anything?! Ugh.

This being the case, I now have nothing to do tonight except homework and listening to Chris Mann songs on YouTube. You should all really check out his cover of Kanye West's "Heartless"; it's so much better than the original. ;-)

He has a page on Facebook, so definitely check it out and become his fan! I really hope he comes back to NYC or stops in Philadelphia sometime soon.
