FS.
Got a job a few weeks ago, so while I have been working hard I am not nearly as stressed out about future grades as I was before and have done quite well this semester regardless.
You are a
terrible human being. Truly terrible. This is
literally the worst time to ever ask a question like this. I hope you sleep through an exam... well not really, because that's an atrocious thing to wish on someone. But these are finals, and everyone is utterly miserable, and for you to crow about how
lovely things are going for you is the probably one of the most... repulsive things anyone can do to someone at this time of year.
As for me, that depends. I'm "working" on a paper that I should have finished yesterday, have due tomorrow (well, technically it was due today, but... don't worry about that). I woke up at 11am today for some reason, despite setting the alarm for 6:30. If I actually finish this paper then this class will go well (it
is 70% of the grade) but that needs to happen first. Also, the instructor said she'd be willing to write me a grad school recommendation if I did well so... yeah, let's finish that paper. Speaking of recommendations I was supposed to visit another professor today who's agreed to write a me recommendation during his office hours to talk about my plans and give him some paperwork. I
was supposed to have finished this paper by this afternoon... but I haven't so that was out the window.
Oh, and so was studying for the final I have tomorrow, which I'm probably insufficiently concerned about. There's a second (very short) paper for that class due Friday, but that's going to be even more of a cakewalk; The professor threw out Nile water disputes as a "good paper topic" during lecture a few weeks ago, so Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam it is. I just will need to be awake enough tomorrow evening to write a coherent paper. Friday-Monday is studying for French on Tuesday. Horrible. I'd rather write another 30 page paper. Will 56 hours of studying save me? Let's hope so, and let's hope I get out on bed on time.
And then I need to somehow find time in all this period to write some chapters for my thesis. Now, my advisor (also someone who's writing a recommendation) and I agreed to the open-ended deadline of "end of the semester". It might actually have been "end of the month". But I probably need to clarify that with him, and "end of the month" doesn't leave that much extra leeway. There's a fifth class I've finished up. So it could go pretty well. Or it could go terribly. It really is up in the balance. Which is why this is
such a
terrible question to ask!
There's an extra paragraph in here but I'm leaving that for the Other Site.
