Stress

For the most part, this quarter has been pretty easy for me, school-wise. I've had a lot of free time, and it's been nice. But when school is easy, the cosmic forces of classes must occasionally line up against me to give me my fair share: a whole quarter's worth of work crammed into a few days.

This bombardment happened to me in the 5th week or so of the quarter, when I didn't leave my computer for 192 hours straight. It's happening again, in the 10th week of the quarter. Papers, presentations, and final projects are all due this week. I spent 13 hours on campus yesterday. Today I spent 10 hours (not including my hour-long trip to Kinko's at midnight). Now (1:30 a.m.), I'm eating a quick dinner before going to bed. I'll be back on campus by 6:30 a.m. to finish one of my assignments on time.

That, and I'm moving this weekend. Don't expect me to be around.

(If you enjoy reading about my pain and suffering, join me in 19 days when I embark on a 25 credit hour* adventure!)


*Disclaimer: It's really only 20 credit hours, because my 5 credit study-abroad program doesn't begin until summer (although I will have to attend some pre-trip meetings and the like).
