Girl's gotta do... what a girl's gotta do
It's sort of amazing what you can accomplish when you are forced to do so. A little pressure and incentive can go a long ways. I realize that all I've done in the last few days is really just the tip of the iceberg but damn if it doesn't feel like more than that.
Several days ago I finished a rewrite of an old Ecology paper like a week early, Last night I started and finished a new lab report for Ecology figures and tables and all, that isn't due til Friday. I don't remember the last time I completed an assignment more than a day before it was due... perhaps that is part of my problem :Shrug: And as of today I have reformatted my Computer Fraud paper to be APA format and have about 5 pages done and I only need 8. I did a math homework assignment to keep myself caught up, and I started another. And for plant developement class and lab I have 20 article reviews (10 for each) due at the end of the semester and while most of my classmates have hardly started I have 11 done and 2 more I photocopied at the library yesterday... yes I know, how odd... me in a library.
It's rather discouraging to think of all the work that is still to be done in just the next 3 weeks and trying to fit in time for George's birthday in a few days, thanksgiving just a few more after that and Jessica's 21st b-day right after that. Can a girl catch a break? It's was huge just to get to go out after work on Sunday with some of the gang for a beer at Bailey's. It's odd how when life sort of crashes stuff down on you like this, every little thing seems like a happy little victory "Go me I took out the trash" "I did laundry WOOT!!!" "I emptied the dishwasher and ate 3 meals today" you get the idea...
But... that said I'm off to secur several more small vistories before I have to leave for work at 4:30, snack, cute hair, presentable clothing and one more article review to name a few. So, keep the positive encouragement coming.
