End of an Era

Today I am headed out on a road trip to California with some friends. I believe it will be an amazing adventure and lots of fun activities will be partaken. However, it most likely means I won't be blogging. It most definitely means I will miss a day. Thus the record of continuous days will end, not with a last minute dash to a computer as I always thought, but with a planned miss. I didn't think it would end this way, but I have accepted it. My blog July 21, 2007 - December 11, 2010.

Crazy Ending

Today was a most interesting and entirely hectic end to the first quarter of my senior year at Western. My first final of the week was this morning at 8:00am. I set my alarm last night for 6:25 so I would have time to study a bit more and make it to my final with plenty of time.

I woke up this morning at 8:52am, first confused and then in a panic. It turns out, I had set my alarm for 6:25pm which wasn't very helpful at all in waking up. I ran to my final and was able to hurriedly finish it before the 9:50am deadline. It was 50% of my final grade so I am so very thankful I woke up when I did and was able to make it there.

I took another in class final at 10:30am and felt pretty good about it. I just turned in my take home essay so I am officially done with Fall Quarter. What a crazy ending.

Almost There

Today is my last full day to study. I am close to finishing my essay for my Modern Chinese Politics class, even though I just finished my other essay for that class and this one isn't due until Friday. I also somehow found the time to finish a book I started two days ago in my spare time. I suppose it helped to have something other than finals to work on this week.

Amorphous Help

Today I have started on my next essay and studying for my in class finals. I am using going to a movie later this evening as motivation to actually get work done. It is easier to be efficient when I have less time instead of having too large of an amorphous block of time in which to study. It has been a very productive day so far.

Essay Done and to Start

Today I finally finished my essay. That means it is time to start my next essay. It also means it is time to prepare for the essays I might have to write for my in class final on Thursday. I only enjoy essay writing to a point, one I am rapidly approaching.

Cut it Out

Today I have continued to work on my essay. I went a bit overboard, and wrote over 10 pages for an essay that was supposed to be 7 pages. It has required quite a bit of condensing and outright elimination of parts. However, I still think it is a good essay and can leave my stronger points and cut out the weaker ones. It is still sad to eliminate so much writing though.

Write On

Today I have been working on an essay. I actually enjoy the topic, so that helps. I am a bit tired of writing in general though so I am going to stop writing this post right now.

Work Wise

Today is Friday of dead week. This week hasn't been too bad so far work wise. I am still alive. However, everything is culminating into a very busy last week of classes. I hope I survive.

Lunch Fail

One Done

Today I had my last class of the quarter for one of my classes. It is a bit difficult to believe this quarter is almost over. The essays I have to write and exams I need to study for quickly remind me of that fact though.
