April 10th:

Took an exam in behavioral ecology. I think I got a 70%. We'll see.

Fucked off in Spanish because I got placed in a lower level. We're still covering the basics. Very boring as always. (took Spanish for 5 years before college

Have three papers to write for art. About 500 words each.

Started learning Ukrainian again

Update: wrote 1.5 of the papers last night before the party in an hour. I'm so locked in.
