Luke Grown Up

…I feel it’s necessary to tell.  First, because I thought it was funny, and though my thoughts were invalidated by every person that heard the story, I’m telling it anyway.  Second, because I haven’t updated in awhile.  I have a couple huge entries coming up, and as such they take a long time to write.  Finals have kept me very busy, but now they’re over, and I move home today.  You can look for at least one new entry later this week.

Now the story.

I had my last exam yesterday (Calculus) and I absolutely didn’t study for it.  I had a couple drinks the night before and just hung out, watching Falling Down coincidentally while prone.  I woke up two hours before the exam, wrote down a couple equations on my formula sheet and hung out some more until the final.  Didn’t even look at the other stuff from earlier in the year.

So I’m taking this exam, and I realize as I read the first question, Shit, this actually kind of hard.  I’m potentially fucked.  I skip a couple questions because I have no idea how to do them, and I’m pretty nervous by this point.   Nevertheless, I carry on.  Around question 6 or 7, something happens that I don’t really notice at first.  It takes me about 4 or 5 questions to realize my foot is tapping a very specific rhythm.  It is then that I realize that I have had Heat Of The Moment stuck in my head for the past 15 minutes.  I smile and continue the exam.

Now, usually, when one gets a song stuck in one’s head, one can’t stand it and wants it gone.  But this was mind-bogglingly different - the more it played, the more excited I got.  By the end of the test, I was grinning.  Not only that, but I had found that I had done everything easily.  I flipped back to the front page and was able to answer the questions I skipped with simplicity. I don’t know how any of this happened.  All I know is Asia aced my ass.

Thank you Asia.
