Shyriiwook
Ugh, finals.

I had my History of Asian Art final on Friday. I'm pretty sure I completely screwed up one of the essay questions due to a misinterpretation, and another one of them was on a topic I was having trouble with while studying, but I think I did well enough on the rest of the exam to quell the damage somewhat. Right now my hopes for an 'A' rest on my having done a kickass job on the museum project. Somebody make it happen!!

My other finals are this week. Thankfully, the only other tough final I have is on Thursday, so I'll have a couple of days to prepare for it. Not having to worry about that right now is quite nice indeed. I can just concentrate on studying for my relatively easier finals and (hopefully) ace the little bastards.

See, this is why I like finals more than midterms: I can actually put my complete focus on the damn tests, because I'm done with everything else. There's also the promise of a nice break afterwards. You don't get that with midterms, the evil little buggers.

And after all this is done, I'll finally be able to spend some decent time with the Wii, more specifically Twilight Princess. I've only been able to play in short bursts, so I've mostly been playing Wii Sports, which is basically designed for that. Wii Sports is a lot of fun, but, man, I can't wait to actually make some decent progress in Zelda. For God's sake, my brother has almost FINISHED it! This situation will be rectified after finals; you can bet on that. Of course, by then, my brother will probably have finished the game. I can already hear the gloating. :(

In other news, I tutored my cousin in algebra on Friday. It's been almost two years since I did math of any sort beyond the simple stuff that people do every day. Suffice it to say, it took me a couple of minutes to become reacquainted with my old nemesis; doing math is most definitely not like riding a bicycle. No, it's more like trying to learn how to use that gigantor controller from Steel Batallion, becoming obscenely confused, and looking to the instructions with no small amount of confusion, only to find that the instructions are written in Shyriiwook. Despite my initial puzzlement (which my uncle could not stop making fun of lol), however, I got a solid grasp on the problems (which were, of course, word problems), and I'm pretty sure my cousin understood how to do them by the end, unless he was lying to me. I guess we'll find out when he has to take a test!
