I'll tell you what you can do with your fictive kin
I. Hate. Anthropology.
Well no. I really don't. I find it very interesting and I enjoy learning about it. But here's the thing... I have spent the last 4 hours studying, and I have gained very little confidence from it. I'm confused. He gave us a list of terms to know that are supposedly from chapter 14, but on the review sheet it says that the exam covers chapters 3-6 and 10. Last time I checked, 14 is not included anywhere in that listing. And even if, by some strange mathematical process, it were included in that list, I have gone through chapter 14 about six times and I can't find half of the terms. Bergmann's Law, Allen's Rule, fictive kin, inclusive fitness, the Eve hypothesis... nowhere. And you know what? It's pissing me the fuck off. I've done all of the reading, I take thorough notes, and I haven't missed class at all. How is it that I don't even recognize some of these things?
Le sigh. I am tired and I have a headache and this week has made me feel incredibly stupid. Noon tomorrow cannot get here fast enough.
In other news, I'm still undecided about Rufus. I need to investigate a few things first. Feh.
I wish I had something more cheerful to say, but alas. Adam kept me company while I was studying and fretting about studying in the lounge - that was a very nice thing. I felt kind of bad that he was just sitting there while I was pouring through a stack of notes, but I'm glad he stayed. It was comforting to have him next to me. Mmm. Adam. He's sleeping over tomorrow night. Wee!
Heh. Anyway. I'm going to be a bad little person who has an 8 o' clock class and stay up for a while, watching one of the Buffy episodes that I've downloaded from some German site. It's a good site. It's my friend, even though it's in German. The episodes aren't in German, though, and that's what really matters.
Yay for Buffy and Adam and Fall break. Boo for tests and early classes all the crap that I have to do.
'Night.
