I had my Machine Learning final at 8:30 this morning.

I found out it was at 8:30 this morning at 12:30 this morning.

See, I had gotten it confused with my Basic Logic final, which had become a take-home. So I thought this one was at 5:30 PM.

Not so! It was at 8:30 AM.

Why hadn't I checked this any time in the last two months?

So, an hour of frantic studying and five and a half hours of sleep.

It went okay - I screwed up one or two of the questions, but I don't know as the extra studying time would have prevented that.

Afterwards, I had to show off my monkeys.

I'm sitting through the other presentations, and the guy in front of me is chatting on his laptop, using some ugly unusable chat program that he or one of his friends must have coded up from scratch. "Let's go to the O," he types. "I need some chix0r nugg3ts."

And then it was all alright, you know? Because no matter how stressed out I am, no matter how many stupid things I do, I can take solace in the fact that I have never without irony typed "chix0r nugg3ts".
