hrm

My blogging rate, not unlike my productivity rate, has been rather low lately. Maybe I should amend this! And by that, I mean that I want to procrastinate from writing a paper, and that writing here actually helps transition me into my paper writing because at least this is actual writing and not me mindlessly playing solitaire.

(I just stopped to play some solitaire.)

Thanksgiving break was, in short, exactly what I needed. It was restful, but not in the sense that I got much sleep. Because I didn't. In fact, I think I got less sleep than I do at school. It was restful in that I got to see a lot of friends and just hang out. More to come over winter break!

I found out that I can graduate on time, but the number of classes I'm going to have to take each semester is going to drive me crazy. It's still better than doing summer school. Still, I am worried about my sanity. I have to take AT LEAST 21 credits (7 classes) a semester, plus work study, plus my job that pays me money for food/living expenses, plus wind ensemble and marching band. I can already predict panic attacks.

Today is Tuba Christmas! This involves going to the ice rink at Rockefeller Center and playing awesome Christmas music! I will be playing euphonium. A group of marching band people are going. It is going to be super!

Work I still have:

Monday, by 5pm (but really by 2:30pm, because then I have to go to work): Brit Lit paper

Tuesday, by 3pm: anthro paper

Wednesday, 10:20am: cantillation final

Thursday, 8:45am: musicianship final (really, it's just another class)

NEXT Tuesday, 1-4pm: psych final

It's actually pretty decently spread out. My Brit Lit paper is 1/3 done (I have 5 pages written, but no thesis...but everything I've written is going into the paper. Also, I've only covered one of the two books I need to write about...so I have done 1/3 of the work but I have 1/2 of the required content, if that makes sense. My anthro paper is half written (again, I'm not sure that there is a thesis, but this one is far more coherent, because I had to submit 3 pages already, and then I submitted one additional page...both for separate assignments in the class). The cantillation final will require 2 hours max of studying. Psych will require more time, but I'll have all of Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and part of Tuesday. At least, the parts that aren't spent cleaning my room. Yeah.

Blargh.
