No test should be worth 90% of your grade

I studied at home all day today. Drew and I had a meeting with our relationship counselor at 1:00. We're both so stressed with work that neither of us wanted to take two hours out of the middle of the day to trudge across the city. Plus it was raining outside. But we went anyway. We walked/ran through the rain, stopped at Starbuck's to grab sandwiches for lunch, and then walked/ran to the subway.

We're going to take a break from the counselor. We haven't had any major problems lately so the three of us decided that we would schedule appointments "as needed."

I did 8 hours of work today and ran for an hour once the skies cleared up. So I feel pretty good about my day, although I'm still freaked out about the amount of material I'm expected to master before the monster exam on June 3rd. It's worth 90% of our grade for the class. 150 questions in 3 hours. Boooo. That's also the day Hillary will officially not be the democratic nominee.

I have to go to sleep now.

In other news:
I'm going to Missouri this weekend to visit my family.
Drew and I have decided to go to the Greek islands after school is over (June 8-18).
Molly started a blog!
That's it, I think.
