YES. Exams are DONE. HUZZAH. Come what may in terms of grading, at least I am done and get to working on the things on my to-do list. <3 <3
But while we're on the subject of grading, I hope I did okay. Oddly enough, I felt better about genetics than I did medicinal plants, but that may be because there were a couple questions where I had no idea how to answer for medicinal plants(What's bloodroot used for CRAPIDON'TKNOW). But I still made an educated guess, and hopefully it'll come out okay. I have a pretty high average in that class, so hopefully if I fudge on a couple of the answers, it won't hurt me too badly. I hope.
Genetics I felt pretty good about though(knock on wood). When I did get stuck on a question, it was usually something small and had me doing something along the lines of "Okay, it can be either this, or this. This or this. This or this. *repeat ad nauseum*". So I guess I have a better chance of getting those sorts of questions right. But I guess either way, it's finished.
But but! That was not the awesomest part of my day. After exams, I decided to celebrate by hitting the local used book stores(and speaking of hitting, the cars around here can be scary. I nearly got hit by one myself. o_O) in search of music goodness or volumes of "Please Save My Earth", which I've been collecting very sporadically. Sadly, I don't find any, but on my way back, I pass by one of the local comic book stores. So I think to myself "You know, self, they're a comic book store. Manga probably qualify." So I go in.
The sum total of their manga is a collection piled up in a corner of the store, which I have to go fishing through in order to find things. But towards the end of one of the stacks I come across a delightful surprise: A brand spankin' new, pristine copy of Sailor Moon: StarS, volume 2--the only volume I'm missing to complete my Sailor Moon set. GLEE AND SQUEE. <3 <3 I've been looking everywhere for a copy(I think they're out of print now), and had just about given up on ever acquiring one. The ones that I did find were on places like the used section at Amazon and were somewhere up in the neighborhood of $30 for a decent copy, which is way more than I want to spend. But this one was not only brand new and normally priced, but it was also discounted. Double-score! I immediately snatche it up and am now the proud owner of a complete set of Sailor Moon manga. Love. <3 <3 <3 <3
