Don't Skip Tests for Vacation

The Cynic Will Exact Vengeance Upon: Profs Who Give Tests on Friday Before Break and Aren't Even There to Give Them

Well... t-minus 5 hours until my Bib. Lit. exam tomorrow and then I'm done for the week and Spring Break can finally come. Hummel is being a bastard and skipping town for Greece and leaving us a test. Wow Hummel, that's big of you. You know I appreciate it.

My prayers are with those who have already departed and who will soon be departing for the various parts of the world. Word has it that Jenny on ELH-2 (Lisl's roomie) has the $5 pizza coupons. So for all of you who are staying here for the next week with me, I figure that $5 is about the cheapest you're going to get a large pizza. Hell, that's about the best meal deal in town for next week.

And for those of you who are of the prayerful persuasion, my parents are coming down this weekend (Friday to Tuesday.) They've been separated for the past year and things are always interesting when I'm around both of them at the same time. I know God knows what He's doing, or at least I hope so... but if He could pick sometime soon to kick my dad's ass and bring him back around that would be a good thing. Funny to muse on one year ago...

A year ago yesterday, Batts decided that it would be a good idea for our 10-page group paper to be due the Tuesday following break. Good job, big guy. We appreciated that. But at least you didn't drop a pop TEST on us, so I guess I'm not too bitter.

A year ago next Sunday, after being back at school from home for 1 day, I got a call from my dad telling me that he was having marital problems and that he'd moved out of the house. And my straight-A semester went to hell in a handbasket. I went from having a scholarship and looking like I was gonna keep it to a barely-3.0 student. Damn, that sucked.

"No dad, it's not having any effect on me at all. No, I'm not pissed off at you for turning my life upside down. Really!"

Alright, that was my cathartic rant for the week. And for those of you who couldn't care less... leave. I'm not keeping you here.
