Yeah! that's right bitch!

[martinemonster]

I passed! I so passed! I would even go so far as to say that I almost nailed it! Wish I'd have said some things I didn't, forgot one article, but basically they gave me lots of praise and smiles. So awesome!

Then I picked up my next exam assignment and realized that if it had been a written exam I would have failed, because I really need to sit down and re-read the curriculum to answer this one. But hey, I have a week to prepare. See me preparing!

*erases that second paragraph*

Hush. You passed. Be happy. :)

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

I am happy. In fact, I'm so happy I'm giddy. :D

But I mean, come on, I have a curriculum that is basically only about foreign aid and social movements and they give me this assignment: "After the cold war: A Norwegian foreign policy-tradition under pressure?"

I'm sure I'll do fine. But if I'd have to answer something about it right now, I'd fail 'cause I don't know this shit.

[sandchigger.livejournal.com]

Just give a vague knowledgeable sounding answer like "After the cold war and the disbanding of the USSR, of course Norwegian foreign policy changed, but is a change of tradition really a bad thing when faced with a volatile and dynamic world?"

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure it changed at all actually (she said, re-reading her curriculum). Norway has had a long, uninterrupted, tradition of neutralism and security as their main foreign policy thingies.

Plus, though your very good answer would still not make a 20 minute lecture... :(

But I'm trying to focus. See, I'm good. :D

[sandchigger.livejournal.com]

If you can't bullshit for 20 minutes and make it sound like you know what you're talkin' about then you need to work harder. ;)

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

I am working! *sulk* Maybe not so hard though...(she said as she kept hitting the refresh button, waiting for new comments so she had something else to do besides stare at the blank computer screen)

[sandchigger.livejournal.com]

I meant working at bullshitting. Seriously, I can't tell you how many college courses my ability to pull an answer out of my ass got me through.

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

True, it has for me too. But people expect more when they give you a week to prepare...

[sandchigger.livejournal.com]

This is true, sometimes.

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

Plans for this weekend? What will you be doing?

[sandchigger.livejournal.com]

Working. :(

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

Aw, well you're not alone. I'm working too!

[sandchigger.livejournal.com]

Hooray for companionable misery!

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's right! :D

(Doesn't it suck to know that your friends are out together and you're the only one staying in?)

[sandchigger.livejournal.com]

If by "suck" you mean "feel like the normal state of affairs" then yeah.

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

Okay, so for me it doesn't feel like the normal state of affairs, it's just now. But it still sucks...

My so-called friends are apparently out having fun wearing suits and fur and I'm all alone doing my exam thing in another city. Life sucks!

(I made a post. Comment?)

[sandchigger.livejournal.com]

Ah, see, I never go out so I'm kinda used to it.

(and I did comment)

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

Ah. But then again, you don't drink and you have a girlfriend. Why would you go out?

(I replied...)

[sandchigger.livejournal.com]

I never went out before I had a girlfriend precisely because I never understood why people go out in the first place. *shrugs*

(I saw)

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

Again with the not drinking thing. And I like you when you're bored at work. you're a heavy commentor! :D

[sandchigger.livejournal.com]

This is what happens when I'm waiting for things to get done so I can continue. In business classes, this process is known as a "bottleneck".

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

Ah, in my world, it's just known as putting-stuff-off to have fun. :D

[sandchigger.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm not putting anything off. I have to wait for this thing to finish before I can move on.

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

Okay then...

I'm almost done with the sources and ready to start writing and preparing. It'll be awesome! *pats self on shoulder*

[sandchigger.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but you started that yesterday. What happened?!

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

I cannot deal with criticism right now...also, I took some time off since I was at my brother's place celebrating his birthday.

You see, my parents planned my brother's 30th birthday months ago so that everyone could come. then, my school changed the dates of the exams last week. So I couldn't really skip going to my brother's birthday just because I had an exam, could I?

[sandchigger.livejournal.com]

Well happy belated birthday to your brother then. :) He's old now.

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but he's happy. And his life is afterall over...he has a steady job, wife, house, boat, car, kid, motorcycle and now a wine cooler. Why shouldn't he be thirty?

And I'm still gonna get my thingy done. It's not due till Thursday.

[sandchigger.livejournal.com]

I didn't doubt you.

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

Naw, but I sorta did...

But I'm good now.

[sandchigger.livejournal.com]

You've been good for at least as long as I've known ya. :)

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

You nice man you *hugs* :D

[sandchigger.livejournal.com]

*blush*

[45hasle.livejournal.com]

Good going fag. Told you you would pass. Should've, could've, would've don't mean nuffin', remember.

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

Thanks! *grinning*

:D

But i really think it should be against the rules to schedule another exam right after. I'm still giddy, I'm not ready to focus...

[abigor60.livejournal.com]

Congratulations. I can not say I am surprised that you are doing well though. Thank you also for the card. I really liked it.

[martinemonster.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Oh, and I'm glad you liked it. :D I was really going to buy an actual card, but then there were none at the store and all that shit...figured I would probably keep putting it off if I didn't just do it, so cheap-ass christmas cards 'r us! ;)
