Far Behind

Feb 16, 2005 01:34

I'm still sick. I'm desperately trying to print out all the readings for my Soc theory class that I'm behind, but my printer's being incredibly annoying and is forcing me to open up the top after every single page it prints, which it then takes another few minutes to spew out. Open, spew. Open, spew. I really want to go to bed. I finally *sorta* finished my research essay. At least, I can turn it in. It's still really about a page, page and half shorter than the ten page minimum- it's about eight and a half pages. But it's harder to tell since we're required a Notes page and a Bibliography. Overall, I don't think it's too bad. Besides, we're allowed to revise. I don't know how much she's going to take off for the fact that it's late, though. I think the syllabus says like half a letter grade- B+ becomes B, B becomes B-, etc. That's not toooo awful bad. I haven't really missed much class in there, considering. Only three total, and that includes both this terrible illness and when my grandma died. Mostly because I got a little lucky on some of the timing, but still. I've missed four Soc classes, which is a little worse, but she also told us not to come to class when we're sick so we don't pass it around, and I've definitely been very undeniably sick. Which she'll be able to tell tomorrow, when I go back to class. My cough is still terrible and my voice still doesn't sound quite normal. And I found out out that even though it doesn't make sense considering the doctor said the only way to get sinuses is from your parents, whatever I have- or part of whatever I have- is definitely contagious. Wudi's got it now, poor thing, and it sounds like a lot of it is exactly what I have. So I must have like a cold or bronchial infection along with the sinusitis or whatever. The worst part is how far behind on the readings I am in Soc. I'm going to have to try to read constantly all weekend and next week, any spare second, to try to catch back up and get ready to write my other formal essay that's due in two weeks. Ugh. Over material that I'm not even behind on YET! So I'm thinking about not going home til Thursday instead of tomorrow. I miss Wudi, and I want to see him and Brian and Jade and everything, but Wudi and I both really need to catch up on schoolwork. That and I'm not sure how I'm going to feel after going to class all day, if I should hurry up and drive home right after that. AND I realized I'm behind on filling out my FASFA, and need to do that pretty much tomorrow, and PRAY that it gets processed and back to OU before the March 15th Priority Deadline. OU recommends having it filled out by February 1st. I realized that today. SHIT! And I gotta schedule for Spring Quarter... I'm just really behind in general. I gotta get around to doing my taxes as well.

I feel so overwhelmed. I guess it's my own fault, but why'd I have to get so damn sick? Winter quarter is always the WORST. Bad things happen during winter quarter. I gotta get out of Ohio-- and to Arizona, quick!
