mahhkohh�s little fairy tales!

[mahhkohh]

hey ho...lets go....

so,i was at this seminar,i found out it would be called symposium in english ,and i dint even got the chance to stich only one damn stich.it was so boring on one side,and so hilarious on the other,so i couldnt even think about stiching!the boring thing was...it was a real technical symposium,so i didnt realy understood all of what the guy told there.and on the other hand,it was a complete exclusive symposium for pro lifeguards.and lots of guys i know from buisness school were there,and it is allways fun with them.i the breaks we played a bit hack together,they initialy got me started again in footbag,and they were realy impressed with my progress in the game.(i had several multi hit symposium runs! )but we drank so much beer,even in the morning we had breakfast with cake and beer ,so i was around highnoon unable to bust out footbag shit,so we just circle hacked the whole time.at one point we got realy loud so we were kicked out of the big forum and we drank even more beer and kicked around till the next break.then we were so drunk that we just sleept the rest of the day! so it was a real fun day in the end! but it didnt payed off in the way we expected it!

today,i had some pains in my legs,so no shredding,and i had no time,so no stiching.maybe i have some spear time tomorrow,i will need it,i have to make a bag fora buddy,my girl wants to give it to his birthday,he playes hack and can do around the world,but he dont know that i shred i guess and maybe...if i give him a bag,and maybe tell him to call me to shred....i miht get a cool companion...

so tchiriho loved blog viewers...

ps:as i searched for the blog i realized that my blog was watched for 666 times!i right now try to figure out if this is good or bad...i tend to good!

edit:i wanted to make a syposium joke...i inserted it!

[DoctorJay]

why did you get drunk in lesson ?
( as usual you do not answer this question if you do not like- honestly I only want you to question yourself - I am not interested in the answer anyway)

why didn't you go drinking with your friends and miss the lesson at all ?

( same as above )

[mahhkohh]

WELL IT WASNT REALY A LESSON1IT WAS A WIDE GROUP OF LIFEGUARDS;OLDER ONES AND YOUNGER ONES;LIKE ME AND MY FRIENDS;AND MOST OF THEM KNOW EACH OTHER;LIKE ME AND MY FRIENDS;AND I DIDNT SAW THEM FOR OVER A YEAR NOW:SO WE WERE REALY LUCKY;AND IT WAS A TRADITION IN SCHOOL THAT WE HAVE A BEER WHEN SCHOOL IS OVER.but as we had a long way home,and my driver wasnt realy into spennding some time with youngsters in a pub,we decided to have oour traditional beer at the breakfast.and the beer was cheap and good,so we drank some more...i´m sorry.i have to appologize for my addictive personality!

about the not neccesarily to be answered questions.if someone ask me something,i try to answer it,because i learned in my live that even if everyone in a room has no clue about the topic that was spoken about,noone ask to get it explained.and when someone asks(most of the time this is me) then everybody is happy to get it explained.and i use this in this blog,eventually there is someone that wants to know the answer to your question and dont bothers to ask for himself,so i give the answer,just to serve him/her something...and i want to avoid the feeling that someone could get that i dont aswr questions and so he never asks a important thing.conclusion:ask if u wanna know something

i will post again later.i had something cool today,but i have no real time now!

[mahhkohh]

hi ho

yesterday:

i have to post this now,i had no time yesterday.
first off,i had my first snow for this year yesterday!i was so happy,but sad thing about it is,i need to go and get some winter weels for my car.since our beloved government made this law that u arent allowed to drive without them from january on...and i guess it makes sense to have weels that are specialy designed for mud and snow and cold temperatures!so i will get some money and buy some...
then,my girl invented a cool move.we were at her house,and i played around with a bag i once gave her when she came up,took the bag and said"hey i practised a bit.watch it".i guess she was going for conseq toe stalls but what happend was this.the bag flew up to head height,then down(because of gravity,i guess! )right into her cleavage(dekollete auf deutsch)slipped throug her shirt and landed right on the toe!i was like then like and we decided to call this move tittie twister! but i think there was a move to be called like this,but the name wasnt accepted by the public and so i think i will make up a cool name for it...and no...we wont make a video were u can see it,because this would mean u get to see her boobies!and there are mine!

so stuff from today!

i was at work,who would have thought!and...i am not allowed to play footbag anymore...some old dickhead complained about it,that is ecactly what i hate in this area of germany the most...those fuckers didnt come to me and ask me what i do there and if i can make my job correct while i do it and stuff.i could have explained it to them and maybe everything would be cool now.no they had to run into the office of my boss,tell him i dont even watch into the pool for "hours" and do everything else but my work all day lon anyway!i mean...jealousy is bad,but they had there life,they decided to get a job were they had to work hard and so,why are they now jealous at me and ruin my life?come on,as if it was so hard to watch a pool while u play around with a bag.but they will get it back,i know who it was.i will now make my job correct the next few days! because they do some thing that i can complain about,because it is against our rules!and i,as a straight out person that i am,will go right to them,and i think i wont be able to talk to them silently,so maybe everyone will widness how they get jelled on for stupid thing from a youngster that has no clue about life...how little do they know!
so while i couldnt play hack,i did something other.i researched a bit for my bag stiching.i made a few samples for new patterns and i thought aboput something that was on my mind for so long now.i tried to calculate how much space i could save at my facile when i just made the hexes a bit thinner and shorter!my results are just staggering.when i make the hexes just 6mm shorter and 3mm thinner i save enough space for 100 hexes,that are enough hexes for 5bags on 1/8yard of facile!and i need 3/8 yard of facile to get 19bags.so jochen your guess back then was nearly correct when u said i could make around 50 bags from the fabric i ordered! but this is just theoretical,because u have to use every mm of the fabric and leave no leftovers.am i not smart???
then i made the new pattern with marks for were i need to stich in,i will test this,its a hell load of more work to make pattern,but if my thoughts are correct this will make the bags hilariously even.and this would rule.i will test it and u will see the results in the new bags thread!

so a long one here.i think i stop right now!

ps:i used a dicctionary for this post.is there any difference recognicable?

[DoctorJay]

1.) Quite cool that you are working on your English - I am with you
.... not weels - wheels, not there are mine ( boobies) - they are mine
( I will stop to correct you immediately if you like )

2. ) your job problem
that is sad and to get out of this situation you have to act really smart , smarty!

In my opinion your strategy is the first step into a big loss !!!
Your strategy of solving this conflict by ending with a win won't be successful.
I do not know the person nor the situation exact enough to give you proper advice but I want to prevent you from making a mistake.

My advice :
- understand the guy - why did he visit your boss ( he acted in the right way based on his views, if your boss understands him and you don't then you won't convince your boss to change the situation .

That should be your goal - you should be able to shred again and not to take revenge !

After you understood him talk to him and tell him your side and make sure that he understands your point of view .

Go to your boss and tell him about your conversation with the guy, maybe you will find a solution for the problem what made the guy going to your boss.

that is only my main strategy of the problem and the manner of how you act in the conversations is very important when it comes to your success but giving you advice how you should show up there I have not enough information on the backgrounds of the situation .

Good luck !!!

I wish that you will be able to shred at your job soon - holy shit I guess there are tons of jealous people on the board too , but they know why they are jelous.

ps: think of the 5 criterias of communication psychology I mentioned before !

[mahhkohh]

heyjo

so here i am,had no shred the whole weekend.damn i could cry,but i guess my legs appreciate the break.tomorrow i will have time too shred,for like 3hours,i dont think i can shred the whole time but i will do as much as possible.

my weekend was super nice,fryday working,then saturday i had a day off,so i slept till noon.then went over to my girl and helped her organizing her dads 40th birthday!and that was one heck of a party!damn,her dad is from greece,so they had a little greece inspired party.lots of ouzo,lots of sirtaky(thats a dance,i had to learn it in order to get accepted by the familie )and lots of lots of greek music and food!i love greek food.damm...tzaziky is so nice,so much garlik...i will stink for a whole week now...and then,since they are all big fans of elvis presley,they had this elvis double contest,and every male was forced to participate.u got a elvis hairpiece and some elvis glasses and then u had to dance hilarious fun!what realy cool was,i had to ddance on blue suede shoes,and i wore bmy blue suede superstars then as a special surprise they had a belly dancer,very interesting.i never saw this live,and she could move her hips,damn...
also i was at a newcommer band contest...this was wicked hot too,there was a band with a avverage age of 14.and the singer had a voice...damn,not even i can get this low while singing.they played a song by motöhead,and it was just like lemmy...this voice is just amazing.also i represented heaviely with my footbag jacket,some dudes came up and asked me if i can play,i said yes,i showed them some legover and atw stuff(i was too drunk to go bigger)and told them how to contact me if they wanna play,so we´ll see what comes out!

i hope tomorrow i have something footbagish to mention here,untill then!

[mahhkohh]

allright...i have something footbagish today.but no personal stuff

first off,i started a bag today,i intentionally wanted to finish it by this evening,but my plans got destroyed by a mean ass video game.damn i should listen to my mom and my girl and stop playing video-games,then i could finish some bags earlier! but nevertheless,i started the bag,its halfway done,and its going to be a birthday present for my upcoming shred companion!i know he likes to hack,and i guess i told about him before,i printed out the freedom footbag flyer in A0,wich is very big,and i will give this to him together with the bag!and i think the bags is going to be sweet.allthoug i didnt finished what i started,i made on a few panels points were i will have to stick the needle trough,but its a real pain ion the ass,so i stopped it and now i´m stiching intuitivly again.i think that my bags will not ghet that perfectly even this way,but this way they have my personal note...not too pretty but the characteristics are fine!
that said i remember that matt cross lost some good words about my bag in the rochester blog,i´m curious for the review he will make,maybe.and i got some props from the austrian guys who bought bags from me.that was a cool feeling.because they were the first guys to get a bag from me that was paid before,everyone else traded or got it given as gifts for something...so i totaly apprichiate the props

i bought a new pair of lavers,16euro,on ebay,plain white and blue,like my old ones,but those are getting modded like no shoe before(at least like none of my shoes)i will turn it into a laver sandale...maybe it will bring me forward to improve some tricks a bit

so now my actuall session.i played a bit more than 1 hour.it was not the best session.i hit nothing new,but i made up a nice drill for me.it goes butterfly>whirl>far butterfly>whirl>reptthe fact that i could only hit this for one time,starting on both sides,shows me that i need to work on those.i have somehow a problem making a whirl out of a far butterfly.that needs to get worked on.
also i tried to do some pixie stuff on my flipside,but somehow my legs didnt wanted to...i dont even know why...so i will try and rest tomorrow and then shred again on wednesday.

untill then my beloved readers

[mahhkohh]

hi yáll

i havent played for 2 days now.i have a bit of a cold and i feel not good because of that,pains and aches everywere and i´m actually to tired.but...yesterday...all my troubles seemed so far away....damn i love the beatles...but anyway,yesterday i recieved a little package...guess what it contained...FOOTBAGs,yeah bagS,it were two of them.straight outta kingston...two little rascals,one is the origin of all the bipolar pattern bags,the original bipolar-bag from pengpengdu,i called it"bipolar-the godfather of style" and the brown one that u can see on the pic "little brown strawberry ninja wich likes to get kicked".if someone speaks some native speeches please tell me what this would mean,i love to have the last name in some native speech...oh,and it smells like strawberry...so sweet.i realy love the bags,they feel so nice,they are very round and (yes indeed) kicky...they roll abit untill now,but i guess that they will become stally and shreddable within a few days...so peng,big big props...very fine bags!


i thought about posting this earlier,but i thought it might sound cocky,but i dont care right now.i will list some things that got said about my bags.only the good ones of course!
-they are good sized(super mini like i like them)
-the weight is good(around 50 gramm,wich is kinda heavy but i like it)
-the grade of filling is good(under 50 %,with that weight they are super stally from the start with)
-they are soft and shred-ready out the of the mail
so that sayed...everyone order one of my bags!

oh i finished the bag for my buddy for his birthday,i also made him a little shred dvd,and i printed out the freedom footbag fundamentals flyer,in like HUGE...so he will have everything to get hyped on his birthday....i´m looking forward to this...[/img]

[mahhkohh]

uhm...i wanna keep it short this time...

i just spended one straight hour on the shit house,i just shitted and shitted... damn i thought i shitt my brain out!
i today changed my pattern for the bags,now i will go for very thin hexes,if u look on the pic above,the pink hexes look so big...i dont like this look.but i will keep that template in case i dont like the new one either!
i had to reopen the bag for my buddy today because i wasnt satisfied with the filler,first time since 10 bags i think!but its real ok now.
then i had "little brown strawberry ninja wich likes to get kicked" in my hands the whole day,and i came to the conclusion that i and peng have a pretty similar level of stiching.she is far more creative when it comes to the style of the patterns,but the pure stiching is about same level.i´m curious to see a bag from her in like 2 month and compare again then!

i just watched a documentation about the zoo in berlin,damn is this zoo big...i mean stuttgart has a big zoo...and it was so hilarious watching all those animal...they sure a re bored,but they react the same way like humans to this situation.they just make bullshit the whole time!

so i´m out now...maybe i shred tomorrow,but i dont feel like it now,i am getting sick...this is not good!

[DoctorJay]

Such an hour could work wonders so maybe your incoming sickness just dropped out

get well soon and keep us updated about your digestion.

[mahhkohh]

well jochen...i thnik your right...it must have dropped out at some point...and i think i will spear u all this digestion stuff...eventhoug i found a pimple on my...well lets not talk about this!

well well...i have been busy stiching these days,3 bags in three days.thats good,for me,and i even started a fourth one just minutes ago...but my last one isnt that fine,its gathered heaviely,so...well i will not make this untill i get positiv feedback for this bag,and this may take a while!

i ordered myself a credit card,so i will be able to order some wicked colors of facile for me,so u can enjoy my bags in more than 4 colors soon!

i today impressed a whole butt load of children.first,standing in the entrance hall of my indoor pool and shreded a bit.today only school was allowed to enter,so i had all those 10 year old kids there...i impressed the shit out of them...i made a few atw and a few pendulum(that shocked them the most,they couldnt understand how the bag comes from the back to the front... )then i tried a assstall,i want that move so bad,i love it when matt cross does this,i made a part of the kickass movie with matt doing ass stall a gif animation and its now my screen saver! ,and i hit the ass stall first try,i never did that...so it was cool.then a bit older kids came in,some of them were hackers i think,they knew what i was doing,some were quite impressed,two wanted to now were they can find stuff on the net...but my girls(i know them from shwimming lessons i give,they are around 18 and help me out some times)were impressed as allways,i shuld make some of them shreditas,that would be a reason to come to my freibad jam... so during the day i hit a few cool thing,as there were:ass stall,pdx ducking rev whirl,ducking mirage(but barely,it wasnt that easy,need much work on ducking still)double atw,20+ flipside clipper,some long dex strings on the flipside,and last but not leastrev blender on my flipsidethat one made me cheer so loud,everyone was looking at me and thinking oh my god...whats up....but i didnt care,it feelt so good,i tried it so long now,and i had a few (3 or 4) conseq whirls on the flipside!

then i just watched tv....two storys i´ve seen made me think,one actually angry...first was about schotish whisky.i love schotish whisky,so it was quite interessting.the other one was about the breeding and fattening of ducks,those poor duckling are handled like...rubberduckies,it made me so sick how ruthless they carry those animals,i mean i like meat,and i wont stop eating duck because of this,but i will have a bad feeling about it from now on....

[DoctorJay]

Nice a few things to comment ! ( if you like that I should stop to comment after each entry in your blog than tell me )


pdx ducking rev whirl --- that's tough shit bademeister !!!!
rev blender is called dyno - props for it anyway.

you are improving heaps- props and go on like this ; it seems that you are doing something enourmously in the right way .

Regarding your bags - as I mentioned before I do not want to trade with you but we should reserve some / much time when we meet eachother.

Regarding your freibadjam - I hope I can make it , really I think your motivation for our sport is inspiring .

Regarding your language : it is called Scottish and it should be written with a capital letter at the start .

Cu buddy ( after your next entry )

EDIT : Forget to give you props that you ordered your own creditcard, it is cool to see people doing what has to be done .

Please consider to inform me when you order , I would enjoy to order with you ( you know up to now I am depending on my brother's card)

[mahhkohh]

nothing footbagish happend to me today(well my peng bag landed in a cold and dirtty puddle when i was at the christmas fair today drinking mulled wine and kicking around this poor fellow...but it gott baided in nice gentle handwarm water and its now all happy again...so dont you worry peng

to jochen:please keep posting.i like this little dialog blog...this could be a good chapter for your book

my speech:thanks for correction,but i allways write small as u might have noticed,but i appreciate the fact that u corrected my wrong spelling!
my bags:we should definatly sit together next time and talk about stiching...that would rule...
my credit card:yeah i think you are right,people should do what they have too...and you should get your own credit card!!! just kidding,i tell you when i order next time,but this will be soon,very soon,this week maybe...still same thing goes to you,tell me when u order...

[mahhkohh]

oioioi...

i have gotten new lavers...two pairs...one leather and one mesh..... ...thanks to the ebay guys for that one!
the leather pair is mudgreen and white,the mesh pair blue and white...leather for casuall wear,and the mesh ones...man...they will get the little daryl genz mod....i will chop of the walls...as well as the rest of the toe area...i post pics of both pairs when i modded the mesh´s!

stiching:none
shredding:none...basicly my kicking stuff at work...with shoes on i might have gotten butterfly swirl sealed today,the bag slipped of my foot because of no shoe happening there....damn ...ähm...without shoes i think i have now eliminated my flipside on atw,legover and pickup...i will wait for the weekend to test out if i have in shoes as well...but i´m confident,since i will play laver sandals the first time then!markus...i´m coming...and i´m coming fresh...

today i had a very serious talk with my girlfriend.i think we cleared the fact tht we dont take each other very serious,that is something we need to work on if we want to be together for another year*recallingthe5goldenconversationrules* but i´m confident we get thing thing wiggling again,i would truely miss her,and she me...i just know it

hm...i had a realy cool conversation with some old ladys too.one was telling me that she thinks it is a shame that u today cant say freely that as a girl u like to rub one off...not that u could admit it as a guy...but gals have it unlike more hard...it was quite interessting,and then i read jochens blog and he wrote about rubbing off(he wont open the door when he does) and i nearly died because of that...i like masturbating...
i was a bit fucked today tho,i lost my cell phone somewere,so i had no alarm clock to weak me up this mornig,and i had to go to work at 6 am,so i took a old clock,and it was still running in summertime,so i was up since 4.30 am and at work at 5 am...i was so beat the whole day...and i drank so much coffee...i surely wont be able too sleep for like...1hour...

so...i wrote enough shit for today...see ya next time!

[mahhkohh]

hi...


i need to make it short,since i need to stich a bit around here....i wanna get some bags ready,but every time i sit down and try to start something happens.
first i had a nice chat with markus from benztown,we made some organizing stuff for our little jam on saturday,we will have a camera there,so prepare for a video...i tried some shit that i want to hit in front of that cam and i will do it...i know it!
then...i have now officialy two new pairs of lavers,i wanted to mod the mesh pair minutes ago,i used 1 hour researching the net for the pic of daryl genzes toe off modded shoes,to get a glue were i should make a cut.but i couldnt do it...i want to,but i dont get it over my heart...i will sleep over this one more time,so i might be not able to wear them too shred on saturday,but hey...i have two ther pairs of shred shoes tho...
oh...here are my new lavers!


arent they nice...and totally untoughed yet.well one of them will get realy hurt by the end of this week!i think!

also i got some wintertires today and i hit whirrling swirl when i was bored waiting for the mechanic to fix my cars weels...n jeans and out of nothing...

nothing else happend today....

i love you all...


EDIT:i wanted to share my small 32 panel bags collection with you!here it is!

[mahhkohh]

hehe..i should resize my pics before posting them!

adendum too my todays post!

i just eat some noodles and now i´m too fed to do something constructive.so i will write down some personal notes that seem to be important in some ways,at least for me!

first of,i revealed my chef today that i am going to school again,its called meister schule,i would then be grand master of the lifeguards...or somthing.to be serious,this is a very important step for me,and i was glad to get positive reactions from my boss.he will fully suport me on that.he was happy that he didnt had to force me to do this,caus thats what he planned!this will be a big step in my career plans,because when i get master grade,i can run my own schwimming hall...and this will be it...shred jams in a pool...i can see it! right before my eye...but first i have to choose a school,then pass it...it will be a bit of work,but i know i can do it,and i will.
accidently this whole thing will bring me near bigger citys,and accidently i searched for some footclubs...and i every city were i could land there is a shred club....that is so noice....

also i started to work on a project that means a lot to me.i now participate in translating the freedom footbags freestyle fundamentals flyer.its fun,and i think its a good test for my english knowledge.and most of all,when we are ready,we will have a good handout for those kids...

so i think its now finished for today...good night

[DoctorJay]

you definitely be part of the project dude !!

great to hear that you will educate yourself- way to go .

i do not want to destroy your hopes but there are not much footbag clubs in Germany which will be able to handle or shredmotivation ; I hope you will find one .

Dortmund, Berlin , Munich, maybe Frankfurt, there are others but I do not know how often they play.

keep going !

btw Marco I do not agree with your part of the project - please do a little bit more . We are three person, I thought that you and the other one ( names doesn't matter IMHO- after the translation you can read them all on the flyer) should translate the whole flyer and I will reread it , make a proposal for my correction and paste it in the original data file of Daryl .
What do you think ?
( I wrote this here , maybe there is another person who reads your blog and want to help)

[mahhkohh]

today:


well i thought i beated the crap out of my freaking cold...but...the fucker played possum with me and now he kicked my ass big time...but i did something i never did before,i allways thought this is something old dudes do...i want to a drug store and got me some pills against my cold.so...i now am officialy old!

nothing footabgish happend....but tomorrow...well i need to jump to bed too be fit...

@ jochen:well that should be no problem.my english is not that bad,i can translate most stuff while i read it.and i read the flyer that often...i can say say it out ofthe mind... what will take time is the typing into my mashine...and i think u should pm me the person who will do this with me,we could split the work then!like it was supposed in the beginning...yeah i know u are busy,so i wont blame u for letting others do the work!
furthermore...i just cant imagine that there is any club that can keep up with some sort of motivation,but they have motivation,otherwise they wouldnt have founded a club.one goal would be freiburg,i heared there is a club,but i´m not sure if they still play.the other thing would be mannheim,there is a club,i know they still play,and frankfurt isnt that far away!


i will be off now,i need to hit the mattress and then get shred sick tomorrow!

[mahhkohh]

haha...jochen...i know who my mysterious partner on the flyer projekt is...

so,yesterday i was in stuttgart.finally...it was a blast.
first i went playing footbag with markus,his brother stefen and a buddy of them,sascha was the name.i didnt knew sascha untill then,and...he was hilarious.he is in his footbag beginnings,but yet he is so creative,eventho his creativity will surely lead him into a hospital with broken bones...if he ever hit one of the moves he asked me if they are doable...he will get a lifetime delivery of bags from me... we made some cool pics,sadly no vid,i couldnt hit any cool strings tho.but the pics are insane,it looks sometimes like the matrix and playing in bullettime...the making of some was nearly killing me laughing,those kids are so entertaining!i wish i could play more often with them.
oh and benztown footbag made some big improvements,the tricks came more fluid and clean,eventho it were no BIG adders.but htis will come over time.(markus i hope your lavers are there soon)

then after the footbag stuff i went to my buddy.i had a helacious ride throug stuttgart,i knew the direction and the road i had to stay on,but it was funny.i dont drive throug big city´s that often,and my orrientation sense is not that good(jochen might remember my oddyse that made me come 1 hour to late to frankfurt jam)but i made it to my buddy and then we raised hell on some girls ass.... ...we were so drunk,and so kinda horny...but that must define here,my girlfriend could read this(honey i love you )we somewhen returned to his house middle of the night,stoned and drunk and then we watched "fear and lothing in las vegas",well we tried,we couldnt fokus on the film and fall asleep after 10 minutes.when we got up we had our beer still in hands,so we decided to just start off were we left,untill i realized that i needed to drive home still.so we(i)stoped drinking,we played a bit playstation and after dinner i went home...and here i am now,still eating on that damn spicey pizza we took for dinner...i have to say it was a damn cool weekend!

to be continued...

oh,i got another vote on my blogs poll...thats awesome,i want everyone to vote there,but somehow it isnt that common to vote on a poll i guess.

hm...doc-jay,thanks for telling me that rev. blender is called dyno...i hit it back to back and bsos yesterday....bitches...haha...dyno bitches...in your face....haha...i allways wanted to say bitch in this blog(please,all female readers,dont feel offended,i just like the word,not the meaning i love you all! )

[Pengu]

Hey Marco! I read your blog! I think it's fantastic. I love that picture of your footbag collection, too bad it's HUGE on my screen. Teehee. My bags made an appearance. It's nice to see them arrive safe and sound.

Sounds like a cool weekend you had... mine was lame studying all weekend for finals on Monday.
