annundrielI really wish this whole week was free of school instead of just the last half of it. I mean, really, why keep us here for Monday and Tuesday? At any rate, Dad and Grandma are coming to get me on Wednesday. They'll pick me up, and we'll drop Grandma off at John and Janet's, and Dad and I will go home. (Weather permitting.) Yea!
All well and good until I think of the several things I have due not long after Thanskgiving is over. Oi. It's going to be fine, and I *know* it's going to be fine, but that doesn't stop the part of me that's heading toward a mini-freak out. Just feeling a little overwhelmed at the moment. And things just keep piling up.
That's the one bad thing about a quarter system over semesters. Once you get into it, you're so busy trying to stay on top of it all that it becomes really hard to catch your breath. And when you try, you end up behind. And then it's even more of a race to catch up. And at this time in the quarter I just want to say "Oh, fuck it" and curl up with a book *for fun* and not do anything graded ever again. This isn't a bad, depression thing. It's just a "blah, I need a break!" thing. A break that does not require you to complete any assignments while you're breaking. 'Cause that's cheating.
And soon I'm going to have to go to American Lit and I haven't even finished chapter one of The Ox-Bow Incident. Whoops. Although I'm completely caught up in the rest of the reading! Woo. After class I need to continue looking over Tennessee Williams stuff and finish the questions over de Beauvoir and Kimmel for Philosophy. AND work on the on-line Spanish workbook. And go to work.
Blah.
