Final in 10 minutes.

10 minutes before my last final of this quarter and I get this crazy idea to just blog.

This past finals week has been a lot more different than past ones. No crazy staying up all nighters to study, no late night rigoberto runs, and no endless intake of coffee to keep me up and awake.
I'm not sure why, but it's definitely not because I'm ready. In fact out of the 3 finals that I have, I barely know any of the material. Yet, I feel so at peace with walking in and taking these tests, so confident that whatever grade I get I'll have deserved it in full.

But then theres the other part of me that realizes that in the scope of things, I'm not gonna remember this final. That in the midst of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, I should feel privileged to even be able to sit in ledden lecture hall and take my next final. Somehow, everything just seems easier and better.

Synthetic Happiness (a term for my next final): Happiness can be created through the way we view things. It's not necessarily what happens but how we perceive and process the world around us that makes us happy or not.
