The Most Stressful Paper of My Life

After today, I officially have three days of school left.  I only go on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  It's been really nice.  In those last few days, I have several big papers and projects due.  I decided to get some of this work done ahead of time (who am I?) and submitted my paper (due next Tuesday mind you) last night.  It was one of the papers I was most dreading to write this semester.  I'm in Humanities 202 to fulfill my my Letters and Civ 2 credits.  The assignment was to either paint a portrait, compose a song, or write a story in the style of one of the artists/composers/authors we have talked about this semester.  I have never had artistic ability.  I barely passed art in middle school when I had to take it.  I was really nervous about the assignment and stressed about it for weeks.  I ultimately decided to write a story that, I think, came out really well.  I contained all the elements that the original author used.  I am so glad to have that assignment done and over with.  I can see the end!!! I have a few more application blogs, the team project, and the final business assignment left in MCOM, a few in-class quizzes in HIST 201, and my research paper for BIO 100 and I'm done! So what? A common theme for me is lack of motivation.  It has been especially hard this summer since I'm not in any classes I really care about.  It's the semester to get all of my GEs done.  With so little left to do (and my family coming next weekend) I want to get ahead on this stuff as much as possible so that I can actually spend time with them.  Now what? I have outlines for my major assignments done and I just need to sit down and focus.  Once this stuff is done, I just have finals to worry about, so I hope to get it done as soon as possible!
