As I've been now realizing, unfortunatley, my school nerd duties have to come before all partying. I have a final on the 23rd (perfect fucking timing) and it's shit that I really gotta get to know before Tuesday.
If I had the final already, I would definitley go. But of course, I can't celebrate the way I want to. Stupid skool. :disappointed:

The 23rd? today is only the 18th. I see no reason why you can't show up and hang out for even a little while.

The exam is all on Greek classics (Illiad, Republic, etc etc.) And the exam is cumulative as opposed to just putting shit from the midterm & on, on the exam.
So there's a lot that I need to remember, and I wanna get it down pat. :disappointed:
