This is a weird feeling.
I am quite literally the only person in the house done with exams. Which of course means I can't even go out and celebrate unless its solo, and that's just sad. But still, by virtue of having both the classes I was taking in London finish with exams today, I am currently worry free. If you rewind to me 24 hours ago, the mood was not so different. I was cramming for two exams that revolved around four people (British History exam essay on Viscount Palmerston and Earl Aberdeen's foreign policies while Humanities involved analysis of Ignatius Loyola's founding of the Jesuits and Holbein's transformation of Tudor art). Names, facts, and anecdotes were whizzing around my head in time for my journey across the Renaissance/Reformation/Counter-Reformation to the 19th century British Empire. Each scribble in our blue books felt like another load being lifted off of my shoulders and now I'm left with... nothing.
I think I did rather well, too, considering I was thusly the only person with two exams today. Honestly, I was dropping dates in my exams like they were hot... all without the benefit of notes. I'm not going to hesitate from patting my back on this one, a good grade will have been hard earned provided I'm lucky enough. It's just trying to figure out how to spend my final days which will be the hardest part. There are still sights I haven't seen, experiences I have yet to partake in, and of course, a ton of packing I need to do before I leave. That also means sending a box o' stuff on a slow boat back to the states with all the excess clothes/books/miscellaneous I can't fit in my bags. There are 50 lbs. weight limits on on flights leaving Heathrow and only one checked bag allowed per student before we head to Greece. Thus, sacrifices will need to be made but I'm up to the challenge.
Anyways, back to this weird sensation I think I'll enjoy for the evening. I'm not allowing myself to be caught up in the cloud of chaos sweeping up the other students studying diligently for their exams over the next two days and beyond. I'll have plenty of time to stress over my two remaining classes in Greece later on. There is something to be said for relaxation at the dusk of an incredible semester. For now, I think I'll rent an iTunes movie or something. Wow, this is odd.
