One week from two days after tomorrow, Easter break starts. I've never looked forward to a break so much in my life. The five exams and two papers I have before them are looking a little overwhelming at this point - kind of like an extra finals week - but what can you do? Just keep plowing through, that's what.
I'm angry that my spanish classes have been canceled. I understand that the professor has to have surgery, and there's no such thing as substitute teachers in college, so the only choice the have is to cancel the class entirely. While it's surely a blessing in disguise (did I mention already the five tests and two papers?), I'm angry that two of my six classes are canceled for the next two weeks.
I'm not the only one with problems in the next week. My friend Jason just walked by and said that he has to take a Sociology midterm at 1:00 today. Good luck to him - that was the hardest test I had to take all last year.
Somehow I'm scraping by. Okay, scratch that. I'm doing really well. I have solid As in four out of six of my classes and Bs in the other two, but I have no idea how I'm doing it. Everything just seems to be completely out-of-whack all the time. I'm just plowing through work in what feels like a really disorganized, haphazard way and pulling off these amazing grades. Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely putting the work in - if I'm not at practice or in class I'm definitely studying - but I just feel so pressed for time all of the time. You know it's bad when you start trying to decide if it's wiser to skip a meal so you can fit in another hour of homework or if you should stay up extra late and get up early, or how close to the beginning of practice you can stay in the library and still make it there on time. (People have been misjudging this - we keep having to run sprints because of it.) This past Saturday, I got up at 8:00, went up to the SAC, and did homework straight through till 7:00 at night. Then I did three more hours of it while I was at my job. It's crazy. Honestly and truly, I don't know how I'm doing it. God definitely has a hand in my success this semester, because there's no way I'm doing this all by myself.
On that note, I need to get back to paper-writing and midterm studying. I'm trying to get this final page of the second half of my Spec Mind paper written before lunch so I can study for my FitWell midterm all afternoon and start on my CivArts paper tonight. Sometime, too, I have to do Spanish lab.
This place is crazy. But I honestly wouldn't have it any other way. I always work better when I'm a little bit over my head (in this case, a lot over my head) and between schoolwork and lacrosse and keeping up with all the million things I do around here, I've never been pushed so much, and I've also never been this happy.
So this is me peacing out till next time.
