rambo week: mission accomplished

So I am officially done with my first Rambo week. It was a pretty successful week. The semester used to look pretty bleak, but with these rambo weeks to infuse me with a little bit of life, I should be able to pull through pretty well.

So yesterday was kinda tough. Two nights ago I had the choice of staying up late to finish an essay and going to bed and doing it in the morning. Any other time in my life I wouldn't have even considered the latter option, but I took it this time and actually managed to get the essay done before my class. I was encouraged by this but I still got hit by a sleep attack while trying to study for my Enlightenment midterm that threatened to kick my butt.

But I made a decision later on to not worry about the midterm because I would just do the best I could and then make it up the rest of the semester. And so as I sat studying for the last few minutes before I went to the testing center, I listed to Nacho give me a pep talk:

"Tonight... I will fight de seven strongest men in town... maybe the world. And I will ween... because our Heavenly Father will be in the ring with me. And He and I will win 10,000 pesos! And with it... (pant...) I will buy the orphans... (pant...) a beeg bus... to go on fields trips to parks and places like that! I'm serious!"

And then I listened to this song as I walked to the testing center:

And then I won.

p.s.- Jon you're totally right. Talking about movies like that was totally uncalled for. I don't even really watch movies often enough for them to be a real distraction for me, either.
