Respite

[vvvexation]

So, about what I'd predicted happened: I stayed up half the night getting my paper two-thirds done, and got up early to see if I'd have to turn it in like that--and when I arrived in the exam room the TA told me that yes, I'd gotten the extension. Why she couldn't have emailed me this and saved me dragging my ass down there, I don't know. But now I've got till Friday to finish it. I actually decided to take tonight off and relax a bit just to give myself a break, since I was tired as hell from the staying up half the night. Tomorrow I can spend the day writing, and then I will have nothing left to do but figure out how I'm going to cram two months' worth of geometry over the remaining four days in between things like caroling and Dickens Fair. Fortunately, this prof is sensible enough to give open-book exams, so I won't have to memorize all the stupid axioms but merely try to understand them enough to work with them. Piece o' cake.

we GSIs have a principled objection to making life too easy and predictable for you kids.

Gah! You're gonna put somebody's eye out with that thing.

Well, there's a load off of your shoulders. I sigh on your behalf.
