i am pushing it today.
i got ....4 or 5 hours of sleep last night and i would say i am half way done with my midterm. i have 3/4 of both essays left to finish, but all my definitions are finished and i am satisfied with their basis in the readings. also i have outlines finished for what's left to do of my essays and i know where i need to go to get material for the write-ups.
all the same i am highly caffinated.
and likely to remain so.
because today is going to be a 17 hour day, after which i will have much needed whiskey and hot tub time. my left leg has a cramp in it. it is debateable whether my brain also has a cramp in it.
in addition to class this evening i have an appointment to get my costume for the tremere event this afternoon. i'm hoping they have the same dress i wore last year because a) it's fabulous and b) it would make selection go quickly.
i am not going to be able to take my reading the audiences class for a grade, only pass/fail (i have already turned in the grade form for the other class so i will DEFINITELY have a grade for that one). i find that i still care about the quality of my work...but not as much. that is kind of sad to me. there is a piece of me that is only willing to push so far without a return more than the intellectual gain that comes from working hard. i console myself with the knowledge that there are other factors (like my job and my obligation to be a good wife) getting in the way of how much energy i have to throw into this.
i am looking forward to tomorrow when all of my obligations are relatively simple again. guests, cooking, tidying....all things that i can use to de-stress if i am in the right mind-fram. the guest room is already prepared and the food shopping already done and that helps a LOT. it also helps to have play time to look forward to....to a time when i can allow myself to answer phone calls from my friends again...
i will not have to do this again. i have NO final exams, only papers. good stuff. i have a 5 and a 10 page paper for reading the audiences class along with a couple presentations. my major projects for my faith and healing class
include keeping a wholeness journal...which i actually find soothing, writing a bible study for a particular age group centered around wellness and write a 3-5 page paper about a societal issue like AIDS. easy-peasy.
