A little morning post action.

I woke up early this morning to try and get some work done before my first class.  You can see how that's turned out.  ~sips coffee in spite of a mysteriously upset stomach~

11 days until Spring Break, and I'm pretty certain that all of my professors have combined their powers to make the next week-and-a-half as difficult to bear as possible.  I will defeat them!!!

Ok, the only real impossibility of the next two weeks is the "first draft" of a 10-12-page research paper that's due Friday.  Now I've always worked under the assumption that "first drafts" are so called because they are incomplete, and I haven't been too concerned about this.  Unfortunately, I've recently learned that it MUST be finished (...why call it a draft, then, I wonder?); furthermore, anytime we miss a draft deadline, our paper grade drops a full letter grade.   Maybe I should've started reading any of these nine books I have before Saturday, yes?

Aside from that, life is just a mess of midterms, piano practice (that isn't happening), and composition (that isn't happening much, either).  I feel like after this semester is over, the rest of my undergraduate days will be smooth-sailing;  I will have completed all my required music classes save private lessons, I will mostly likely NOT be an English double-major anymore (so that's about 10,000 less papers per semester), and I'll just have a few basic general education requirements to complete.  August 8th, 2008, my friends (that's right--my prospective graduation date is 8|8|08).  I shall hopefully be a free woman.  (Until starting grad school some 3-5 weeks later.)

And now, perhaps I'll consider getting some work done.
