Marathon

[transomwhiplass]

I told Maya at 2 PM today that it was going to be a marathon of homework for the next 2 hours.

I freaking hate myself now because *like always* I put off starting so now I have to work just that much faster, in a much more delirious state, and just... yeah.

Ok, calmness. Let's talk about what kinds of good things happened today.

- The Smiths - Louder than Bombs (from my Big, I might be behind on other stuff, but I'm totally caught up on my music homework. This CD has 24 songs!!)
- Surviving economics?
- APO Office fun for precisely 45 minutes
- Chocolate
- Finding a 3-D model of my building that I have to do a report on, getting a Photoshop trial, & generally being good to go as far as inserting pictures into my report goes
- Tomorrow: Roadtrip to the conference in Bellingham. Yay bonding!
- Sucky in the long-run but positive in the short, I can't actually register until Monday. Even though people with my number of credits get to start registering tomorrow morning, my student number (in the 600s on their scale) doesn't get the merry priviledge until Monday. So that means I get to have Sunday evening to hash out next term's plan, but sucks because I get to choose from courses that have already been picked a million times over by the rest of the food chain. Joy. Looks like next trimester I'll have to be a fiesty, early-bird because the 9 AM classes will probably be all that's left.

So yes. I've now recieved 3 (awesome!!!) CDs from my Big. I heart my Big. Especially since this was "vow-off-buying-anymore-music-this-week" week. New music makes me happy so beneath this stress, there is a huge smile. Well, it's not so much beneath because it makes me that happy. At least I can whistle while I have a 24-hour heart attack. woo.

The bad stuff is -

- The schedule thing
- This architecture project. Originally the researching freaked me out, now the writing is freaking me out. I don't know if I have enough research. AHH!
- My physics homework which I SWEAR I checked 50 times. Of the ones the computer said I missed, all but one (which was the one I couldn't figure out) had different values and a solution in the book. I used the exact same formula and got the answer right in the book, but with my values, I got jack-crap. I'm really pissed off because, I thought, sans one question I would probably get a perfect score. This is now my worst homework grade. I can resubmit it one more time but I'm just so frustrated I don't know what to do. I swear my answers are right, GAH! I don't want to change them because the computer has errantly misgraded before. I know, you are thinking that computers don't do that - all they have to do is compare what's in the box to what's saved in their data but it DID happen. It's not supposed to happen, it's not supposed to be possible - no fickle margin of error is programmed into the computer. However, the homework site is evil and probably is run by Republicans and Satan so yeah...
- Having to find a sleeping bag for tomorrow
- Craving junk food like crazy! I ate so much today (compared to other days)! Ugh, I need something to calm me down.. chocolate is totally within grabbing distance. I probably will have some right after I finish this post. I even had soda today because I was like "ahh project! need caffiene to work!!" Empty calorie day. Saddd.

My flight home is 12/11 (just to let everyone know).

I'm so stressed right now but I'm not depressed. I think that is what is important. I know I will get through this. I know my project will be at least acceptable, I know this one homework won't fail my physics grade, I know I will be able to take some classes next term and if they are early morning classes, so be it, I'll adjust. Life is ok. I'm really looking forward to this weekend and next week. I just have to coast over this one nasty, terrible, incredibly high hill and from then on - all my work is done for me.

I'm going to go find some bad food and then I'm going to get to work.

The song I'm listening to makes me all sentimental and calm. It's in the art musuem scene of "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," so it makes me think of great times spent with great people in great places. Yay for also being a "pining" song, my list grows ever longer.

The ending semesters...

[dragonshield85.livejournal.com]

I can't stand it when the semesters are ending because then all your profs tend to squeeze in as much homework as they can to try and get you to learn as much info as they can stuff down your throat till you just can't take it anymore!!! Ok maybe a little less drama would be good. I know what exactly what you mean when you say you need to coast over the next week or so... I'm having to do the same thing. Omg.. I just need to get through this next week, all the work will be done then I can concentrate and study for my finals. My last final is on the 14th I think. Oh geezz.. I can't wait til this semester is over. I need to start registering for next semester but it's not for another week or so. I've already got it planned out.. now I just need to sign up for them. Ok well continue doing well in school. Sleepy time for me. :D yay
