Cue Stress and Poutiness.
So I'm starting to freak out about this paper and how much work its going to be to really do it right. I mean, I know that I could do a good job and turn it in and get my A, and really not need to stress at all, but I want to do a great job and really impress my professor and be able to use this as a "writing sample on a medieval topic" for grad school. I think I'm finally done collecting all the important sources one would want to cite for this topic, and I've started perusing my collection so I'm off to a good start. Some people are still changing their topics - *yikes.
With my mother and grandparents coming out and mortar board and the choir concert on Sunday, and my Mom sticking around on Monday (to help me pack a little bit so she can take some things home with her now before I go to Greece), I really won't have time to work on it then, and its due Tuesday. So that leaves this weekend.
Today: Finish reviewing research
Friday: Organize research, perhaps do an outline
Saturday all day: Write paper
Monday after Mom leaves: finishing touches - possibly an all-nighter.
Tuesday: Paper due. Get huge take-home final due Wednesday, which also might take me all night. Take Home finals are le suck because you have to put SO much more work into them.
Block Break: Greek Report on Acrocorinth
I'm really quite bummed because I think I'm going to cancel a lot of plans with friends and Casey this weekend to get it all done. I was extra pouty about it last night because Casey was like, just do what you need to do to get it done, and that's okay! It's not really okay though because I want/need to spend time with him and my friends. I only get 2 more weekends with him before I go to Greece and then the year ends and I go home to Colorado and won't see him for a really long time. I don't want to spend one of these last two weekends together working on my paper! He keeps telling me not to think like that because they're NOT our last two weekends by any means, but I think he's either (a) just being forgetful Casey and not remembering how very hard the summer is apart, or (b) trying to cheer me up. I'm not looking forward to saying goodbye to him for another summer.
Okay, time to hit the books until Lunch.
