Mr. Gotit Showit

Just finished the Envi Exam. Everyone in my class has already taken it so I don't think I'm breaching the Honor Code by telling you all that there was a person in one of the questions named "Mr. Gotit Showit". He was trying to develop the "Moronic Golf Course" (no doubt a take off of Williamtown's very own Taconic Golf Course). I should also mention that Mr. Gotit Showit went to Amherst. That rich bastard. It's funny when your prof. is also a Williams alum.

All in all the test was fine. I didn't overstudy this time -- damn straight -- as opposed to last time when I studied like mad and still failed. Overall, I give the experience a B+. My actual grade, however, is up in the air...we'll see.

You know that feeling after you finish something that you've been working up to for an extended period of time? It's relief, but it's also this feeling of "well now I'm done with life". That's me right now. I have no motivation to do anything right now, despite the fact that there is so much that I should be doing. To compromise, I will finish up this post then get right onto my reading for tomorrow.

They put up the snowflake lights on Spring Street. It's amazing that every year those lights go up, and every year I get all "I-love-Williamstown" when I see them. It's not like Los Angeles (or any other city/town in the US) doesn't decorate their main street come winter...but I think it just fits better with Williamstown. It's not as superficial, you know? I think this all relates back to last year when these lights went up. I was up at 5am on a Tuesday to weigh some dining hall trash (don't ask). I was all grumpy and groggy because it was 5AM in the MORNING plus it was really foggy and you couldn't see two feet in front of you. Suddenly, I saw a little star traveling up a lamppost -- I didn't see the guy until I got closer. They were putting up the lights...I shared some Xmas cheer with the lamp-decorating guy and I went my merry way with a smile on my face...to weigh trash.

That was a good day anyway.
