Reasons why I'm weird.

Today is dedicated to my weirdness. Well it's my nature so I don't think it's weird but some other people might think it is. Okay first is my outlook on finals. Every year, semester after semester, people freak out about finals time and midterms, and for me, finals are the easiest part of the entire semester in every class. Maybe that's because of the classes I take where the projects are really the worst part, but finals have never worried me. I know it's 4 tests in two days but I just don't worry about them and I'm fairly sure they're be ridiculously easy.... Haha I hope I'm right about that. Usually what I'm stressing about is the homework or projects that teachers make due now, not the tests. Maybe that means I'm a good test taker...
Second is waiting. I don't have a problem doing it. For example, I finally finished my applications!!! And now I just have to wait I think until March for them to tell me if I got in or not. But I don't care. The hardest most stressful part of the process was actually pushing the submit button and letting my applications float through the ether to where they will actually be judged. Scary!! But now I don't care that I'm waiting. I don't care about waiting for my GRE scores either, which by the way should be here now. Maybe my mom already has them and just hasn't told me.... haha doubt that though. Dad maybe has them since he is the one who checks the mail, not mom. I guess though that Kara was right about this one, all the work I had to do is done now so it's no more stress.
Last is the fact that I keep buying things that I'll someday need. Well at least rationalizing it that way. See I have a love of jackets. All kinds, trench coats, big puffy ones, sweaters. I love them all and I'm totally in the wrong state for that right now. But! I'm going to grad school someplace else, maybe someplace ridiculously cold! So I'm going to need the jackets so it's okay that I'm buying them... Ha I think I just want an excuse but whatev.

So there's my random things about myself. For no good reason. Time to go finish some anatomy homework for Thursday :).

Although I definitely stressed out about finals in college, I'm totally with you on the waiting thing! I don't know why exactly because I know that for some people it freaks them out to have no control over something, but for me that's almost a release. If I can't do anything about it, then I don't feel like I should waste time worrying about it.

I also buy things I think I (or Allie) will someday need. This is why the 18 month old has a fairly wide collection of clothes all the way up to 5T. She'll wear it eventually, and its really cheap now, so why not? And I think its brilliant to buy jackets in Phoenix (especially in January & February) because they're ridiculously cheap here and go on sale early because you don't need them if you live here. But like you said, if you're going somewhere else . . .

Everyone is normal until you get to know them! That is my motto. As is there's always more to the story. You need to wear the jackets ya dork! You have such cute ones and I've seen you wear one of them once.
