bad and good feelings

It's one of the worst feelings in the world knowing that you have 16 articles and chapters to read IN ONE WEEK, and have to write a 2-3 page summary for EACH ONE. (These articles and chapters aren't short, either.) I think my professors are really trying to emphasize the 1:2 rule. (For each hour of class you are supposed to spend 2 hours outside of class, doing homework and studying.) I guarantee I'm spending more time than that!

I'll do the math for you.
16 X 2.5 = 40

40 pages. YES, 40 pages of summaries. This is what my week looks like, and what my weeks will look like for the rest of the semester.

When am I supposed to do what I want to do, and not what I HAVE to do?!

That all being said, it's one of the best feelings turning in all those pages and getting it over with.

I will graduate, and I'll get a 4.0 while I'm at it.

P.S. I hiked Mt. Timp on Saturday from 1am til 10am. It was a great experience! I could have been doing homework at that time, but really??!... on a Saturday? I probably wouldn't have done it anyway, even if I was home.

I know exactly how you feel!! Are we in all the same classes? Because you just described my life right now perfectly!

We'll get through it!

You can do it...you'e almost there! And how did you like hiking Timp? I've done it twice but I remember that it was quite a challenge!
