It's that time of year when school is winding down and teachers are piling on the work. Which equals stress. Which means sad student. I suppose I should be content in the fact that this just means school is almost done. And I am, but at the same time, a lot is going on right now.
Everyone is stressing...Our grades aren't what we want them to be now or fear the final test will screw us over in the end. We are sleep deprived and manic in the flurry that is the ending of classes.
The last 4 days I have gotten Starbucks. Sure Saturday and Sunday it was because I was up ridiculously early to help at the garage sale at Cyndi's mom's house in our efforts to raise more money for the MS Walk this coming Sunday, but yesterday night and today it was all purely to fill up on caffiene to stay awake to work. Last night I had to finish my big Access assignment for IDS. As did Emily, her partner on the project, her other friend and Cayla. Emily's and Cayla's were saved on my flash drive so we had to be there together to work on it so they could take it off and work and then save later. It was long and we kept getting stuck. The library had other IDS students, also getting stuck. So we all worked into the night, going around the computer lab asking others for help and helping out others if they were stuck somewhere we got past. We were done by 1am, when the computer lab closes, but still needed to print things, so headed to the Reserved Book Room in the main library dome, where all computers were taken. We found one open and grabbed it and Emily and her partner and me and my partner opened our info and were printing and making sure we had everything. We finally left at about 1:45am.
When we finally got back to the apt. at 2am, I was debating whether or not to bother to sleep. I was still wide awake from the Starbucks coffee I had gotten at 9:30pm and I didnt want to get in bed, take forever to sleeep then not get up for class like last week. I decided I'd try to stay awake for the rest of the night. I put my headphones into my computer and watched the 'Desperate Housewives' I missed when I was working on IDS for four hours on Sunday night. I stayed up on the computer for a while after that, then decided there was nothing to do, as we all know 3am doesnt really have much in the way of good tv and I felt bad being on my comptuer as Tricia was asleep..But I didn't get in my bed. I just laid on top in a sweatshirt and pj pants with my purple fleece throw covering my feet. I knew getting in bed would really not make me want to get up later. So I set my alarm for 7am then took forever to fall asleep.
At 7 my alarm went off and I hit the snooze and actually got in the bed to try and warm up some. My first thought on waking up though was "OMG! What if my printouts for IDS are all wrong? Do I have them all???" then realized I was fine. But when the alarm went off again, I got up, got dressed, got my stuff and left for the Starbucks and Aztec Market by my class. At the market I grabbed a chocolate toffee muffin and then headed to Starbucks to get a white chocolate mocha w/a shot of raspberry then went and sat in my class alone and ate.
So far I haven't really napped today..Unless that 5 minute doze off in Econ counts. But I don't count it as it wasn't sufficient enough sleep. But being the sad college student I am, I am living on coffee and a prayer to survive finals and "midterms" (why they want to call tests exactly a week before the final exam midterms I don't get) and projects and studying.
Sigh...exactly 3 weeks left. 3 weeks from today, I will be done with finals as of 12:30pm and done with my freshman year of college..if I can make it that is..
