Today I see I am really down to the wire with school and am starting to get that panicky-can’t-quite-breathe, oh-crap-how-will-I-ever-get-this-all-done? feeling. I have a 25-ish page paper due, but would like to still get some feedback before handing in the final version, which probably means finalizing it during the exam period. Nice. I have way more notes than ever in 2 of my classes, making the outlining/refining process a nightmare. Especially in the one that I don’t have a great grasp on anyway. *breathe* I have to do a presentation on my paper topic for seminar next week. We have to do a 4-hour drive and be gone all of Thanksgiving weekend….4 hours there, 4 hours back. That is 8 hours of study time…ticking away…..still, family commitments are important. I will have to make time over the weekend to study, because I still have all the regular homework to do for the next week.
*breathe*
I am making up a schedule to take advantage of lunch times, time before and between classes, and I know I will figure it all out. Yes. That’s it. I’ve done it before. Others are doing it. It is do-able. Yes.
