Bored in class
So we are watching presentations in Capstone class, except we saw a rougher version of these presentations last week. It's kinda boring- so I am updating this instead.
SRA- I have been going nuts. I don't have time to get everything done: RA, classes, commitees...etc. Granted I need to learn to say no, which I am doing much better at, except that I have already committed to these things, and there is no turning back now. I feel bad that I can't be as instantaneous as I'd like, but the work is getting done.
Regular RA stuff- I swear I am not trying to beat out John Bragg- but the incidents just keep happening. I am up to 8 IRs since the beginning of the month, and I still have one more to write. Granted, I have gotten efficient at it, but it getting to the point that every night I am on duty I am writing at least one, and sometimes even on nights when I am not. Last weekend night I was on- 3 Irs, and I didn't get to go to bed until 5 am. And this weekend is my D shift
I also feel bad that I have not really connected with my residents, mainly since I have been so busy. I did start making cookies (as promised) this afternoon around classes, but I still need to go grocery shopping, since I am running out of ingredients. Essentially I feel like I am being a bad RA. On the plus side, we got our last male RA, so I don't have extra floors. Next step: meet and freet and programming.
Classes: Senior year. 5 classes. Huge work load. My classes are more complicated than usual, and I have tons of reading. I am keeping on top of some of it, but sometimes it gets to be alot. I have to spend a ton of time for Italian to actually sink in, but I don't ahve all the time to spend on that- or else give up on sleep.
I also have my participation in the FCFF, which I hope goes off well, but it has taken alot of time to pull off. I am tapped out.
I haven't had much personal time, which I think is crutial at a time like this. I am hoping to get far far away on my few weekends off.
Ok done griping now- I hope my stress goes down a teensy bit soon.
