I don't feel like doing TOK right now.

Last night, I kind of felt sick-ish, but at least I feel better now. My English essay on hell did not go super well; I'm not exactly sure how "analytical" I was, but the topic itself didn't really let me be that "analytical" anyways. Afterwards, I realized that I should've mentioned tone or atmosphere or some other actual literary device as opposed to all the stuff that I made up. The Chem test wasn't super great either: I forgot to do something fundamentally important, so I'm pretty sure I just lost about 3-5 marks there. Hopefully I can still get a 7, but I kind of doubt it now.

In History, Gloria and Ginny fell asleep. As a result of my latte, I managed to stay awake throughout the video, although I wouldn't exactly be able to say that I was fully paying attention. So, I pushed Gloria's shoes in front of Ginny, since she had taken them off before falling asleep. When they both woke up at the end of class, something like this happened:
Gloria: Where are my shoes?
Ginny: What the heck is this thing under my feet?
Andy: Ginny, how could you steal Gloria's shoes?
Ginny: I swear I didn't, I was sleeping! Maybe Gloria pushed them over to me.
Gloria: I didn't do that either; I was sleeping too.
 Oh, the mystery of the magically moving shoes. Telekinesis? Walking shoes? Who knows.

On an unrelated note, being caffeinated this week was a new experience. By the end of Monday, I felt like I hadn't slept for days yet was somehow awake, but by Wednesday I was wide awake. I don't know if I'll be continuing this tradition though; perhaps until the end of the next horrible week. On a side note of the side note, next week really does not seem pretty at all: I have my TOK oral on Tuesday (anybody want to trade places? :D) and my English Commentary the next. It's a funny feeling when events that you've been dreading but passed off as being "still months away" suddenly creep on to you shortly before they happen. I remember being told last year that I should work hard on my EE over the summer and try to finish it by Christmas to avoid having to deal with it over the break. I then thought to myself, "Wow, that'd never be me," but look where I am now... Perhaps I should do that, along with my bio lab, at the end of the next week.

That is, assuming I survive it.
