Hello there old friend...

Procrastination. I feel like it could kill me at one point.  No joke. I really need to start getting on top of things before they are suddenly piled up on me.  And yet as I say this, here I am blogging instead.

This reading week, I had a lot of stuff to do, and I didn't do it.  Instead I decided that this week would be the perfect time to watch all four seasons of Heroes. And so currently on the 3rd season and starting to become severely sleep deprived, I decided that homework late at night was a good idea.  Yeah, no. It was not.

I had to read a 30 page paper on the "Genotype-Phenotype Correlations in Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome" and then summarize it into a one page abstract report. Firstly, I got lost reading it.  Secondly, trying to condense that much information into a tiny tiny page is bat-shit crazy.  And still, for some reason I decided to choose the most genetic disorders for my 75-minute presentation (X-Linked Disorders).  I can barely speak half they things I am reading and have to talk about it.  Hypoxanthineguanine phosphoribosyltransferase.  Try saying that in one breath. I am not only going to be nervous about speaking in front of my peers, but also about my inability to speak proper English.  I mean, I can't even say invitation properly.  I say invintation. InVINtation. Who says that? This girl, right here.

For the next month I am in some big doo-doo.

  1. Feb 26: History Midterm (25%)
  2. Mar 3: Moodle Posting Due
  3. Mar 6: Music Project Due
  4. Mar 10: Moodle Posting Due
  5. Mar 13: Music Quiz/Psychology Presentation/6 Abstracts Due/1 Companion Reading Due
  6. Mar 17: Moodle Posting Due
  7. Mar 19: History Primary Source Paper Due
  8. Mar 20: Music Project Due
  9. Mar 24: Moodle Posting Due
  10. Mar 31: Moodle Posting Due
And, another joy to my life. I found out that my ONLY two final exams are on the same day.  With a lovely hour in between them. And I also have my psychology papers for a final exam due on the same day. FML.

I was actually really looking forward to the next couple semesters and being done with school, but I got a chance to look at the courses they are offering. And it looks like I may have to stay another semester.  I need 7 more courses to graduate, and I can't even find 5 to fill in my schedule.  Sometimes my university makes me re-think my choice to go there. 

Ugh. Someone just switch places with me. Please? Maybe I could be like Bilbo and a wizard will just come and take me on an adventure...
