The Torture - The Joy

I simultaniously hate and love the last week of classes. In four days, I'm going to be rejoicing because classes will be over and most of my major projects and papers will be done and handed in, but the time leading up to that it total craziness.

First off, I have a ten page paper to write by Thursday, which I still have yet to start because whenever I think about what I'm going to write my brain starts to hurt. It's for my prophets class, and I have to write about two chapters in the book of Jeremiah. Ugghh...I have no clue what to write. I don't even really understand this crap.

Secondly, I have a test tomorrow in the class that I'm really afraid I'm going to fail. I got a B on the first two tests, but unfortunately I failed the past one, and since they changed the freaking grading scale to the plus/minus scale, now a C- counts as a failing grade, so yeah, I really need to do good on this test! You'd think studying and reading over your notes and whatnot would be helpful in studying, but no, for some god-awful reason, this class is like the class from hell. The tests are totally uncomprehendable. I never understand any of the multiple choice or fill in the blank questions. Now, what doesn't make any sense to me is that I get perfect scores on the essays. So, yeah, obviously I know the information, but the fact of the matter is that I just can't do the multiple choice or fill ins. Double Ugghhh...

Third, I have a project due on Thursday for my Art History class and I still have no clue what I'm even going to do for it. We have to make a modern outdoor sculpture. I don't even know why I stress out about those projects. I always end up getting an A on them (knock on wood). I could probably do it totally wrong, write a two page paper giving some half-assed explanation for my reasoning behind the project, and I'd still get an A (knock on wood once again). But, the fact of the matter is that I still have to do it and it's yet another stress on my life that I don't want to deal with.

Fourthly, I have another ten page paper due by next Thursday. Now, I'm not as worried about this one as the other stuff because I already have five pages written, but still, it is yet another worry to put up on my shelf of anxiety.

And those things are not my only problems at the moment. I called Kohls today to see if they had started hiring yet because I had turned in an application 3 weeks ago. Well, now they're done hiring, so I'm most likely not going to be able to get a job there. Now, I do still have like a month before I really need to get a job, but I would just like to know that I have a shoot at getting one somewhere in Findlay. I have turned in six applications so far in this town and not a single call back. But hey, like I said - I still have a month. So, I'm just keeping my fingers crossed. Oh, and I'm doubly keeping my fingers crossed that Matt gets his transfer to one of the Walmarts here. That would just make things so much easier!

So, after all this other crap is said and done, then I'm going to have to worry about packing and moving and whatnot. I can't wait to be in the new apartment. I'm so excited for it. Although, I'm not really that excited about moving out of the townhouse next week, taking my crap to my parents for a week and a half, and then moving everything back to the new apartment in Findlay.

Now it's back to papers and studying for me!

I hope your week ended up okay, Elise! :) I'm so jealous that you're done. We just had midterms! Grrrr...

Hang in there! I miss you!
