exams, how they went

literature exam: because it is literature, it is open book, open note, you had the questions 48 hours before you took the test, etc. needless to say i am not very worried. i got to outline everything down to the last detail before we wrote the exam. oh, literature.

international law exam: not open book, not open note, didn't have the questions beforehand. still went pretty well. the exam venue had an epic view--7th floor. i had the urge to cite cases, only we didn't brief any, (civil liberties panic mode is a permanent reflex!) and instead settled on citing country case studies and authors from the journals we read. is it weird to get a head rush out of stacking a paragraph with citations? whatever. it is great.

now i am not going to have to take that friday 8 am intro to international law class at nyu that jita recommended to me, which is WONDERFUL, because, really, am i going to drag my sorry self all the way from central brooklyn to school at 8 am for what is essentially an intro class where you review for the final by reading wikipedia? no way.

now all i have left is a 3000 word paper for the internship class and some journal entries for my unpaid job. oh, internships, what a strange idea. i can't wait to get home and do bitch work for $, instead of doing bitch work and being paid in essay assignments and more reading. work visas are hard to come by, though, which is an understandable obstacle to getting foreign exchange students proper work. if i had a car to get to and from a job, i'd bartend, cash only, right. to be fair: the people who organized this did the best they could. they are pretty great.

also: a thing that might be about racism. what is especially apt is just the part at the end really. john campbell for the win!
