So I have 2 midterms and a paper due tomorrow. And I've spent all today (and I'm talking pretty much all) studying.
No, I'm not cramming, per se, considering it's only 9:15 and I still have hours and hours until the sun comes up. But I definitely feel like I've studied all day.
I didn't mean to! I meant to get work done over the weekend so I wouldn't be in this situation today. But family stuff took up the whole weekend, literally, and I had a lot less time than I anticipated. Plus the flight home last night was 2 hours delayed. So instead of getting back at 10 and getting a couple hours of work in before bed, I got in at midnight and was so emotionally drained that I couldn't do a single thing.
The sad thing is, it's only been 4 hours of actual work. But it was very concentrated work, and it wasn't all at once. An hour after lunch, a couple of hours between class and dinner, and an hour after eating. Now, according to my very specific schedule, I should be editing that paper. (According to that schedule I shouldn't be blogging right now. But my brain hurts, and my schedule didn't account for that.) But the idea of studying again makes me sad. Maybe I'll take another break and then finish that paper then finish that studying for East Asian Humanities. Yeah... hopefully.
Whatever. Most of what I've needed to do tonight has been done. And like I said... it's early yet. Still have hours and hours until the sun comes up!
- Location:apartment
- Mood:all thinked out
- Music:the sounds of the next door frat screaming!
Ways to Make Sure You'll Feel Like Crap:
Stay up late studying for a midterm, after having a weekend of minimal sleep (aka not catching up on all your sleep)
Don't eat breakfast-just have hot chocolate
Not take any kind of Advil or Asprin or pain-reliever
Don't eat lunch or any kind of meal until after 4PM
Classes from 10-12, 12-1:20, 1:30-4.
Needless to say... I don't feel great right now.
On the plus side, I think I did pretty well on my astronomy midterm-or thirdterm, as I like to say (since I have 3 major exams all quarter in two of my three classes: 2 thirdterms and a final!). And since science is not my strong point, this is rather exciting. I did well on the last two quizzes: 19 and 18 out of 20 on the last two. Considering the class average was 12 and 11 repectively, this is... happy. I don't know. But I feel smart =). hehe
Post-class I made my boyfriend come with me for a late lunch at Togos, when we went back to his house and watched TV. I took a nap and completely slept through an episode of Mythbusters. Apparently they made a pair of pants explode. I like exploding pants =). Makes me laugh.
Now I'm working on my philosophy reading. Fun stuff..... eh. I don't feel quite so bad though, after 3 Advils, half a pitcher of water, chicken noodle soup and lots of relaxing. Tomorrow shall be a better day. I'll sleep longer, have more energy.... at least, I hope so! =)
