And let the stress begin....

[missroserose]

First day of classes after a nice, leisurely Spring Break. My to-do list for the next couple of months:

--Pack all my stuff and move it out of Ryan's grandparents' house (due in 1 week)
--Find someone who has my immunization records and have them mailed to me so that I can move into campus housing (due ASAP, since if I don't have them in a week I'll have to stay on Ian's couch or something until I've convinced UAS that I'm not carrying any strange and/or contagious diseases)
--Have a rough draft (which "should really be more like a polished final draft, except you should be willing to make major revisions") of a 6+ page interpretive research paper for British Literature (due in 2 weeks)
--Have a final draft of the same paper except with major revisions (due April 13th)
--Write a seven-to-eight page paper on whether a base on the Moon or on Mars would be more likely to become an asset in the future for Astronomy (due sometime near the end of the semester)
--Put together a 10-minute Powerpoint presentation on the same subject (due a couple of weeks before the paper)
--Write several poems for Creative Writing (due at various points during the semester
--Put together another portfolio for Creative Writing (due towards the end of the semester)
--B.S. another ten pages or so of deep-sounding interpretation for my British Literature final (due at the end of the semester)
--Do various reading/answer various questions from each class (due at various times during the semester)
--Try to figure out where, exactly, I'm going to be moving once the semester is over and preferably find an apartment there (due at the end of the semester)
--Keep from going beserk from stress, probably through large amounts of chocolate (due continuously)

Apologies to everyone if I'm a bit less than available in the near future...this is probably why.

... that's a lot of crap to have to do in the next couple of months. Of course, with proper study time -- and a bit of organization -- you can probably get most of it done with little-to-no difficulty. I mean, when you factor in the required double spacing, you're really writing papers that are three to five pages in length.

I find it usually helps to write papers in WordPad, myself. It single spaces all of your documents by default. So you type in everything you want to say, polish it, and then paste it into Word for double spacing. If you time it just right, everything's the right length, and you'll feel -- right or wrong -- like you've done half the work to get there. =)

Yes, that's right. Study and preparation advice from Mr. I'm-Never-Organized.

Cue the evil laughter and melodramatic music stings.

I know the feeling of having to do too much in not enough time.
But I'm getting better about not losing my brain over it.^^

If you need any help moving in over the weekend, drop me a line and I'll see if I can do it.
