Test Update

I survived 4.5 hrs of hell and am now drinking my well deserved celebratory glass of wine. Whew, what a day...I am so very glad it's all over!

Tests...

especially big ones, are one of the most dreaded events in life I think. Ok, I might be exaggerating just a tad bit, but the stress and anxiety I've felt over the past few days b/c of my International Finance midterm tonight is really miserable (it's a real fun class, let me tell you). And I know that I probably have a tendency to overstress myself in anticipation of these fun filled events, but it's made for a really crappy last three days!

Why do we do this to ourselves? In the grand scheme of life does your grade on one test REALLY matter? I would like to think no, but somehow my brain is unable to be convinced...unfortunate, I know. So, stay turned for an update after it's all over (and possibly after a few celebratory glasses of wine)!

Pebble Beach Golf Tournament

Have you ever seen such a beautiful place? Walking around in the 80 degree weather, looking at the amazing scenery today, (not to mention some pretty cute amateur golfers), made me realize my life is damm fun!

Drama

According to Webster's dictionairy drama has 3 meanings:

1: a composition in verse or prose intended to portray life or character or to tell a story usually involving conflicts and emotions through action and dialogue and typically designed for theatrical performance
2: dramatic art, literature, or affairs
3a: a state, situation, or series of events involving interesting or intense conflict of forces b: dramatic state, effect, or quality

The kind of drama I am talking about is the kind that unfolds when you run into an x-bf, or for that matter a friend of the xbf's..."a state, situation, or series of events involving interesting or intense conflict of forces," would sum up this confrontation. Discovering that an x-bf has "moved on" or that they are happier without you is never fun to hear no matter how far back the breakup occurred. It no doubt creates a very "interesting and intense conflict of forces." This is one that brings out all those forgotten emmotions that you perhpas thought were in the past, but really they were just hiding, waiting for the right moment to re-appear again. Hmmm does the drama ever end?
