My last two finals are today. Liz and I have been at Victrola since 6:30 this morning, it is now 9:30. Our first final is at 2:30 and our last final will end by 6:30.
9:28 I just told Liz how excited I am about finishing my finals. It has been a series of emotion since we started studying- I was depressed, then anxious, then angry, now I'm excited. Liz has finished half of a liter bottle of cranberry juice. She is now going to the bathroom. She is pointing aggressively at me on the way to the bathroom.
9:31 My body feels like a stretch that cannot be satisfied. Does this make sense to you? I am taking a sip of cranberry juice, I should keep my urinary tract functioning properly. Liz says that, through my liveblogging, we've reached new lows. She is laughing with her cranberry juice in her hand. She says, "I feel like we've taken drugs...it's only 9:30 Frances! *extending her hand* we have a lot of time left [before these tests]".
9:34 Liz is on her computer, I don't believe she is doing things relevant to studying Finance. I don't want to look at her or else I'm going to laugh. I am going to look at finance material now.
9:35 Liz is laughing to herself. I don't want to look at what she's laughing at in fear of being severely disturbed.
9:36 I want to cheat on this test. Liz is shaking her head at me.
9:40 I wonder if focusing on a piece of material for a long enough time and whether it is possible to internalize it just by looking at it, not necessarily trying to understand it. I don't feel like doing any more practice problems (I'm not exactly doing any problems, I'm just looking at them)
9:43 While switching songs on my iPod, I hear whatever Victrola is playing. I know this band but the name slips my mind, I know there is something with a horse in the name. I'm looking at Liz and she looks like she's concentrating very hard. She is pressing buttons on her calculator. I am certain I will fail this test.
9:45 "Bizarre Love Triangle" comes on shuffle and I decide that I really like 90s dance music. Liz is making funny faces.
9:47 Tim calls my phone and I give it to Liz. I tell her to tell him that we're liveblogging. Tim is coming here. I am worried that I will have to shift all my things to accommodate his physical needs. That doesn't seem right. I need to pee again. Or poop, I'm not sure yet.
9:53 Liz sticks her hand in front of my face as I'm trying to work through a problem and asks if I've posted this yet. I say no, she pulls the large bottle of cranberry juice from under the table and says thanks, she feels much better. She slouches into her chair and reads out loud. I really need to pee but I'm embarrassed. Liz and I have collectively used the bathroom at least 18 (10 for Liz only) times. I wonder when I'll stop liveblogging. This is more fun than you think!
10:00 I just received a call from my landlord and I will be signing another lease. I hope I don't stay here for another year, I would like to move to another country/San Francisco. Liz says there are a lot of kids here and that they are "cute", I really think she means that she wants to steal them. Liz is muttering to herself and is pointing aggressively again at me. She is also doing robot movements and speaking in rhythm. She is talking about WACC (weighted average cost of capital) and how she wants to punch Tim when she sees him.
10:02 Liz is talking and I am not listening to her words anymore because I'm distracted by these men behind me who are talking loudly. Liz is telling me that she needs a brush because her hair is nappy, whatever the fuck that means. Liz is talking about her hat and how she bought it at Walgreens for $1.50, she is planning to buy more.
10:05 Out of nowhere, Liz tells me that her mom has buckteeth, demonstrates how her mom looks and says that "its very cute". I think this is a good place to stop. I seriously have to pee.
