So today was a kinda crappy day overall, but at least it's done with. In my medical Soc. class we got our final for the class, which is two 6-7 page essays and two one paragraph ID's. This is going to be a pain in the ass because it's mostly based around three books, and not really that much in the course pack. I kept up decently with the bulk pack readings, but haven't really touched the books that much, so I've got a ton of reading to do for that class over the next 2 weeks. Oh well, could have been worse. Could have been all four books rather than just three. Following that and the ensuing scramble to pick up the books that I didn't have, I went into lab for a while. It seemed like everybody in there was doing either the exact same procedure as myself, or using the same machines for something similar. It was a real pain in the ass and extended my time in there about 2 hours longer than I had intended (leaving at 8 rather than 6 sucks). Upon getting back, I pretty much did work for the rest of the night (minus time spent playing Tony Hawk 2 with Mike and Josh and debating the 2005 list more). I was just kinda pissed about today because it seems like I have a ton of work that all hit me at once, plus I'm getting a little anxious about my independent study paper. I'm a little unsure as to the format, so I had e-mailed my adviser last week about meeting to discuss it. He said he was busy, and would have to meet this week. 2 days into the week and 2 emails later, still no reply from him, so I'm pretty angry about that. I don't want to wind up doing the whole damn thing over the weekend because he couldn't meet with me earlier, and I'm getting the feeling that this is going to be the case. Dammit. I'm just going to do my best to keep this all in perspective, and take it a day at a time, trying to get as much done everyday as I can. I did pretty well tonight, and I hope I can keep that trend up for the rest of the week. Oh yeah, and one last thing that added to today was the fact that I was sore as fuck from lifting yesterday. Oh well, so long as I keep it up, it'll all be worthwhile.
In spite of my workload, I of course found time to clear off my Ipod and put on it only albums released in 2005. I'm going to listen to pretty much nothing but those albums over the next few weeks so when it comes time to make my list, I'm pretty much set. A lot of this year's releases were good, but I have a feeling 06 is going to be even better (Thursday, Brand New, and Taking Back Sunday are all coming out then). Alright, time to get a little more reading done and then get some sleep.
