Forgive my gloating
I am done. I took four tests and wrote an essay this week (three tests since 5pm yesterday). I'm pretty sure I did decently on all of them -- the one grade I've gotten back already is good.
I am SO DONE!!!! \m/ \m/
It's good to know I can handle this level of psychological hosage. It's not that I had to spend untold hours working on stuff (no all-nighters), though I did spend a lot of time studying of course. Mostly, it's intimidating to have five large assessments in a week, and now that I've successfully handled this sort of week, perhaps I'll have an easier time handling ordinary weeks.
Plus, spending a week in "must tool all the time" state will probably be good for my baseline work ethic. For example, I've gotten used to using LeechBlock. I block most of my main time-sink websites 8:30am-5pm weekdays, 12-5pm weekends, and 2am-8am every night. As a result, rather than obsessively checking my RSS feeds and entertainment sites every hour because I'm a little bit bored, I go work (or socialize) -- and then when I do check my websites, it's a treat, and I don't even check them all anymore. (Granted, I sometimes cheat and use Safari to get to LJ when I'm not supposed to, but that takes effort, so I typically only do it when I have something particular to do.)
