back on the grind
I am SO freaking tired!
The break went fantastically – I got to spend most of it with my family, much needed time for sure. Played with my baby nephew the whole time, spoiled him rotten 🙂
Now I’m back in Manhattan, I definitely put off that paper that I had to do till the last minute, but trust me, I spent all of Monday in Hale Library cranking out a killer outline – I kid you not, this thing was 4 pages long in itself. By the time I finished writing the paper itself at 6:30am on Tuesday morning (I spent the night in Hale) it was 11 pages long. The assignment called for it to be 7-9 pages, so I cut out what I felt wasnt very relevant to the topic itself, and I was left with 8 pages. Not too shabby if I do say so myself. I turned that in on Tuesday and now I sit here and work on other homework that I put off to get that paper done. I’m so freaking tired! I’ve been working all week, I’ve been schooling… and I am just drained. I had my last recitation class for Cultural Anthropology today, and I got an A on the gifting paper that I did for that class earlier this month – this puts me at a B before the final exam… I know I will do great on it!
SPAN 410 – Spanish Comp and Grammar, I have an 89% in the class, but I am floundering. I have to turn in a rough draft for my argumentative essay tomorrow and I havent even started on it yet. I almost want to put it off till the weekend but I have to meet with my instructor tomorrow afternoon to go over what I have written so far. I’m drawing blanks. I may just tell her straight up that I have no idea how to start writing the paper and hope she can give me some ideas. Once I get the ball rolling it wont be an issue, I just need to find my way INTO the paper.
SPAN 566 – Hispanic American Civ, I am waiting for the grade on that massive paper, but I have a high C before it, this means that I have to do well on the final, so next week I will begin studying for it with two girls from my class. I think I should be okay in that class as well.
Signed my new lease today, which means I am broker than ever, but I cant beat peace of mind. My roomie moves out in two weeks. I am going to see my therapist next Monday, maybe she’ll have some ideas for me on this paper and things of that sort. I need some clarity. I also need a good night of sleep.
Check out my baby nephew!
He makes me so proud 🙂
