Re: my Sat. classes, which I get up to attend after only an hour of sleep @ 7:30 am and go to 2 classes, 3 hours each, my Lit prof. assigns readings that make you think she believes you have nothing to do but read for her class; I had a performance piece and an 8 page paper due today(FOR THE SAME CLASS, Speech), the paper I did in a 4 hour frenzy on Thurs. And for my viewing pleasure, I can stick out the next 5 hours on campus w/ crap to do so that I can see the taping of season 15 of Comedy Central Presents (which I really do want to see) but I'm so tired that I have to take nasty energy shots to make it to that time. I should get home around about 11pm. I'm a young female walking through a neighborhood where I often hear the symphony of gunshots while I try to sleep, so I'm not worried at all there
Then comes Sun., where I have to write a 800 word paper after reading several 20 page articles for Ethnic Studies class, all the while trying to flesh out the group project that's coming due (which has a matching 10 page paper, delightful!), and immediately after that I have to get my History reading in so that I can be prepared for the quiz I have every Monday. THEN I have to study for the Midterm on Wed. in History as well. How can you have a quiz AND your Midterm a day apart you ask? I have no idea! But then there's more! The Tuesday in between the quiz and the Midterm, I have to take the CPE for school (and pass) or else I can't register for the next grueling semester. Never mind I go right to work after those classes
After all that, if I'm even still alive, I get to go to something cool, Blood Manor, a haunted house thing we have in NYC (you can Google it, looks cool), but who knows if I'm even willing to get out of bed. Then after 24 hours(I never realized how short that could be until this last 2 weeks) I get to do it all over again w/ only slightly less to do.
Am I kind of wigging out? Yes, I believe I am. But I guess that's what comes with being a Junior, but I'm starting to cry thinking about getting to be a Senior.
