Midterm Philosophy

[ichinichinemasu]

So, my Rise of the Novel class lets out at 1:50-ish and the train to Fox Chase comes at 2:10-ish. And I need to catch that train in order to make it to work on time at three. Usually I make it on time ala trolley.

This schedule is crazy, and sometimes I get out from class late. Friday was one of those days- it was 1:55! I thought, "There's no way I'll make it all the way to thirtieth street by 2:10-ish." So I contigency-planned and ran to the El-34th street. I got there at three and the El came right away.

So I was debating whether to stay on the El or run for the train from fifteenth. It was 3:07 when I got to fifteenth, but I decided to go for it. And I ran. And I made it. I always seem to make the train when I decide to go for it.

So there is your philosophy for this oh-so-wonderful period of midterms. "Go for it." You'll probably make it.

And to that last sentence, I would reply by giving you the three dimensional measurement of my notes for my midterms (since dropping them in front of you isn't possible or likely to happen without me breaking my back) and ask if you were absolutely sure.

(But don't you love it when life works out for a change?)
