Busy Week
Man this past week has been hell! The end if the fall semester is just around the corner and finals is approaching for each of my classes. In my english class I had to type up a 10-12 (or 14?) page research report on anything I wanted to. I thought it was going to be a piece of cake (and it was pretty easy), but it took way longer than I thought. I'm just about the slowest essay writer on the face of the planet. I takes me like eight hours to type up a normal sized essay from scratch. I spend hours just typing up these blog posts! My english essay was something that I did not want to procrastinate on. Lets see... My teacher wanted the essay prepared by tuesday and we were supposed to have the roughdraft available for peer review today. Last week was basically thanksgiving break. I was sad that a portion of my break had to be spent typing a ginormous essay, but at the same time I didn't want to procrastinate. Wednesday I went out for a thanksgiving dinner, Thursday I had thanksgiving dinner, Friday I chilled with a friend, and then Saturday I wanted to try starting my essay. I don't even remember what I did, but I ended up not doing anything the entire day. When I tried actually starting my essay I realized that I lacked research so I spent most of the night reading.. Sunday I went out to play cards and then another thanksgiving dinner. I ended up doing nothing with my essay. A friend of mine gave me a webcam as a gift so I ended up webcamming until 3 in the morning. Monday I was so tired I spent all my free time sleeping in the library. I even emailed my essay to myself, but I was too tired to even think about it. After school I wanted to settle down and try to spend the entire day finishing up my essay so I could have it prepared by tuesday, but when I got home from school I sat around and did nothing. I feel asleep midway and by the end of the day I managed to get the first half of my introductory paragraph done... I felt bad for falling asleep so I stayed up until 1AM trying to get as much of that one paragraph done, but it only hurt me more. Tuesday, I tried to take advantage of my time sleeping in the library so I could have energy for the rest of the day. My classes are little more stacked on tuesdays and thursdays so I don't have much time to work on my essay at school, so I tried to use that time for other things that needed to be done. When I went to speech class it turned out that an assignment I didn't know about was due, so I had to turn it in the following class day for less points.. When I got home I decided to work on my essay a little before I had to leave for kung fu class which wasn't very exciting because no one was there. After kung fu, I managed to get my second paragraph going and decided to go to bed at midnight to get an extra hour of sleep so I could work on my essay in the library at school the following day. Come wednesday, I found out we had a test in music class that I didn't know about! I had no choice but to bomb it. In the library I managed to get to the third paragraph, but it just wasn't enough.. What really sucked was that I had a test today (thursday) in math, but I had no time to study throughout the entire week. It took me all of wednesday to get my essay done. I told myself if I could finish it early enough I reward myself with a solo trip to the local pho restaurant, but unfortunately I couldn't finish it fast enough. But instead my motivation became this brand new laptop I'm typing on right now! I'll post pics of later. My mom managed to get my early christmas gift from Newegg.com on black friday. I'm so grateful, I absolutely love this thing. It can run starcraft! Okay now I'm side tracking.. So today, I tried spending the day studying for math, but I kept getting sidetracked by my friends... my fault... Oh well.. The test wasn't too hard although I had to guess on quite a few problems. I'm just hoping I got at least a B on it... I'm just glad the week is over. I'm going through some silly drama right now too, but those words should be left unsaid..
