"Cumulative Finals Are The Work of The Devil"

So says my intro forensic psychology professor..bless him.

I had my first graduate exam today. It didn't go as badly as I thought it would, but I know that one of the essays I don't expect to get a good grade. Oh well, its not worth as much as the paper for that class and I'll know what to expect on the final.

Today is my slow, tired day. Thursdays I usually take a nap, regroup and get ready for the weekend.

The next two weeks will be really busy and stressful. Next week I have a midterm due and a presentation. The following week, 2 papers due, a midterm and a draft paper due. AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! I will survive, its just a matter of tackling one project at a time until it gets done. Hopefully...hopefully I can stay caught up on the reading as well. If I can get through the next two weeks, I think I'll survive the rest of the semester. Its just a really huge push now into the last 6 weeks...damn 6 weeks...of the semester when I have at least one thing due. Its definitely more difficult than undergraduate work because you want to push yourself to produce the highest quality of work possible. If slacking off is your game, grad school isn't for you.

I also work this weekend at the store. My manager called me today wanting to know if I want more hours and I'm going to turn it down. Just too much other stuff to do that I don't give a damn about making money right now. Most of ya'll know that I'd jump on the extra hours and helping out without a blink...but I have different priorities right now.

I helped my little brother write a paper last night. He had good ideas, just needed basic English and grammar help. I hope he gets a good grade on it. I think it will boost his confidence that he really can write, he just needs to refocus on his writing.

My dad has an interview today. I really hope he gets the job. He really wants it, his interviewer knows it and I think he'll be disappointed if he doesn't get it. Props to Dad for giving it a whirl, no matter the outcome.

Well I be off...time for my nap before I get cracking on my tasks.

Hope ya'll are doing well!

Love ya!
