So THAT'S where all the people reading this come from...
Planning is the devil.
Thursday, March 22, 2007 @ 9:wheneverthefuck pm
I really hate planning because it reminds you of how much crap you have to do. Then you have a constant nagging in the back of your mind that eats away at your brainpower which you need to commit to getting crap on your to-do list done anyway. If there were a more comforting and stress-free way to organize life, I'd do that. Then again, stress-free organization is very much an oxymoron, and going into battle without a strategy is just moronic. Damn, trapped again!

So next week is finals week. In addition to exams, I've got that project that I've been bugging people on here about. All my respondants are women, which is poor form on the sampling front, so if you've got a Y chromosome and you are feeling particularly generous, please consider helping me out. (I know that in the last entry I said that would be the last time. Oops, I lied. Sue me.) I'm not at all worried about the grade I'll receive in that class. As long as I turn the project in, I'm sure he'll give me an A in the course. I have never taken an exam in his classes where I've scored lower than a 100%, so I'm not going to waste too much time studying for the final for that class.

Calculus, however, will be a bit of a pain in the ass. I just found out I bombed a quiz I thought I did fantastically well on. It seems that I am just not careful when I do problems. It's like either I make a stupid mistake or I supply an answer that is technically correct but it isn't exactly what they were asking for. I need to read directions more carefully, I guess, but come the fuck on--I do good work so I should be getting more partial credit than I've been given. Given the instructor's track record I can't count on partial credit to carry me through the exam so hardcore studying--here I come.

I can put off studying for my social psych final until after Tuesday, which when the other two exams are. Fuck, it seems like this next week's going to suck balls. Bad timing, too, since I need to step up studying for the biochem GRE which is fast approaching. Ugh, worst scheduling, EVER.

Maybe I shouldn't have sat down to think about all of this. The scary part is that like a mountain in the distance, you know that the thing is freaking HUUUUUUGE. But the closer you get to it, it just keeps getting larger and larger until you're standing at the base thinking to yourself that you don't have the balls to climb the damn thing after all.

Except, that would be bad. Man, I need to grow a pair. And quickly.

Good luck with the finals and studying.. don't fall sick.. it sucks to be sick during exam because all you can think of is sleeping. I'll see if I can get Xboyz to help you with the questions..

stress-free organization would be wonderful, but alas, this is reality. so no go. ha, don't worry; I don't think it's a big deal you asking for help even after you said you'd stop. We ... well ... I am perfectly fine with it :P

Classes
Social psych was fun. I liked that class. Calculus - just remember when you take the exam, pay attention to detail. Just double check your math and be sure that you covered all the steps.

I guess I know what YOU will be doing this weekend.... PARTY!!! ha ha just kidding.
