One Thing I Learned

If there's one thing I learned with looking forward to Spring Break, it's that the week just before it is the WORST week of the year/quarter.

The end of third quarter was on the 15th, and I'm stuck trying to cram a history essay (5-pager), science research paper (17 pager) AND a math paper (4-pager).
It's awful...Even though they're just FIRST drafts, with the exception of the math paper, in which we go into the "middle draft".

That's not even it, either. PLUS in the subjects, they still give us even MORE homework to "keep us busy"...

I haven't been getting a fair amount of sleep for this week-four days straight of six hours 'n' less sleep is NOT good for a growing youth. Got to sleep at midnight just yesterday and was awake at 6 AM, trying to finish the history paper...

Anyway, I guess we can take comfort in knowing the fact that tomorrow is the last day of homework, at least for a full week. Plus, we get a day off on April 1st, the first Friday after Spring Break.

The thing I like about the school is the fact that during breaks, we don't have any hw, at least we're not SUPPOSED to. I'm planning on not doing ANYTHING.
Well, SOME things, I guess. Maybe I'll take up knitting again if I can get my hands on some double-knit yarn. I'll catch up on my writing and continue to make horrible manga illustrations. I'll finish the Ranger's Apprentice series and find another good series to follow. Maybe I'll go somewhere (although travelling is not my fav thing)...

The problem: just THINKING about taking a break is killing me!!! Arrrrrrrrghhhhhh!!!!!

Hamy is currently annoying me with collecting boxtops or whatever and I'm still working on my math paper and my room is a total mess (you couldn't find an elephant in there) and I'm planning on getting, like, three hours of sleep tonight although I have to run in the morning-that's my first class.

What else can I say? Most of my book characters are kinda based on me...

*Sigh*

  1. I have a myriad of completely different things to say.
    1. Knitting is cool because you're guaranteed to have a weapon in your hand (for self defense, of course).
    2. We're not SUPPOSED to have HW. That doesn't mean we WON'T have HW.
    3. Are you procrastinating? 'Cause we don't even get that much HW...
    4. Following up on #3: subbie year isn't that bad, in my opinion. I think too many people exaggerate the HW load during our year just for the heck of it (i.e. just because everyone else does it, and just because they go to UNI).
