somehow i don't feel any different.

i am done with finals. usually, that statement ends with an exclamation point! and usually, i feel instantaneous and glorious release...the sky is enormous and the very air holds endless possibilities now that the pressure of cramming information into my poor brain has been relieved.

maybe it's because the finals week i just experienced had the lowest stress level of any finals week i've ever had. maybe it's because many of the weeks in the quarter weren't particularly stressful, especially the week before finals week. maybe i've reached some sort of plateau, and every quarter hereafter will be stressful once again.

but for now...i have the strangest feeling of calm and composure, and i am operating as if finals never happened. and i'm not sure if i want the exhilaration feeling, or this unruffled placidity practically bordering on vapid. which is more ideal?
