Warning! panic imminent
May. 22nd, 2007 05:02 pmIt's almost the end of the school year and things are hectic. German group projects are coming up, I have three papers to write, and sending in my financial aid and housing papers to worry about, which is especially stressful since my dad isn't here to help me out. There's a preliminary bibliograpy for one paper due on Thursday and I first heard about a few hours ago. This morning I was up early to sign up for finals week work hours and pick up the sheet for next fall's work hours, and this afternoon I signed up for fall classes. I'm also seriously behind on all my homework. Thank GOD there's a three-day weekend coming up fast.
However, there are some uplifting signs: I've had two assignments handed back this week with As on them, one of which was a three-pager I wrote in a couple of hours the night before it was due on a lot of caffeine. Nothing was written on it about the actual content, although the teacher did have the gall to correct some of MY grammar. Who dares! Anyway, that's at least got my confidence up for the next paper due for that class. The source report for Dante, which I was so worried about and thought I did horrible on, also did well. Sam was lording it over me that he graduated magna cum laudi, and that I had "work to do." Of course, his school has less than a tenth of the number of students and he spent a year at Waseda where they didn't teach him anything. And he took one class at a time. Jerk.
Next fall classes are German 201, Medieval Britain (at 8:30!), and History of Modern Europe. I have no class on Thursdays, and only at 1:00 on Tuesays and Fridays. The 8:30 is twice a week, and I may have convinced Jessica to take it with me. I'm kind of freaking out about everything I have to do in the next couple of weeks. I'm sooo glad I dropped Old English or I'd have a breakdown. Fortunately, it looks like I'll be able to go home on Tuesday again.
