Seriously...what happened to an easy semester?
So...Ryan and I have decided that in an attempt to stave off more instances like the Virginia Tech shooting- all the proffessors lie and say that it's your junior year that sucks when in reality it is the first semester of your senior year. This way the students go into the year thinking it is going to be okay and don't bring all their guns with them from home...because 1.5 months in and they are more than ready to pull a trigger.
Okay...I'm being a little dramatic...but only a very little. No one would really pull a trigger but the number of suicide, murder-suicide jokes, and rampage jokes have gone up. In a nutshell this semester is sucking. I don't think I have ever been as bombarded or stressed out as I am right now. Not even when I was working 30 hrs a week at ACE and doing school.
To give a picture of what I am going through lets look at a snapshot of the last couple weeks and those too come:
Week 1: two tests, the GRE and a report
Week 2: 1 test, hw, lab report
Week 3: 2 hws, 15 page paper, coding project
Week 4: 30 minute presentation, 2 hws
Week 5: Another report, another hw, a group project, plan of attack for Lab Project
Note on these that each homework takes at a minimum 4-5 hours....and that's if I'm lucky.
Plus I am working 12-15 hrs at AC Moore. I also have a Senior design meeting EVERY day of the week. I am also doing an experiment on the side for my senior design project which is sucking the life out of me. I can't think more than 2 days ahead because there is more than enough stuff to make me go crazy in just those two days.
So in conclussion...if I crack- which is a very likely possibility- you will all know why and can show this journal to the police.
On a different note:
Congratulations Travis! I know I'm a little late- I kept meaning to drop by the wall and say it in person but I kept getting swamped with above stuff.
