Busy Busy Busy

I'm burried up to my chin in final papers and such, so the last think I should be doing right now is blogging, but alas, here I am.

Basically I haven't been doing anything fun lately because I've been too busy freaking out about the Political Geography paper that I have due on monday. Big semester final papers usually freak me out because I suck at writing them, but this one has me extra freaked out because it is worth a pretty significant portion of our grade and I got a D on the first test (and only test so far). Also, I have to get at least a C- in this class for the International Affairs major. I've been getting pretty good grades in recent years, but this class is, um, not going so well for me. Sooo I need to do pretty well on this paper.

Also on monday, I am supposed to either turn in my final paper for my American Foregin policy class, or take the final exam. I've been planning on doing the paper because it will give me more time to think about what I'm saying and hopefully do a better job, but now I'm thinking that maybe I should take the exam instead. But since I will be spending this whole weekend freaking out over my political geography paper, I won't have time to study for that exam really... what a predicament. Luckily the American Foreign Policy teacher is awesome and she told me that I could get an extension on the paper, so now I have till next friday for that paper. That was so nice of her; I'd kiss her if it weren't illegal and she weren't married.

Then after those two things are done, I get to start on my third and final big International Affairs-related paper of the semester. I have no idea what I am going to write for this one, but at least we just have to choose from a list of already well-developed topics, so that part is already done for us.

I will also have to start on my two linguistics final projects, one of which could be pretty interesting if I put the effort into it. I will probably go into more detail later about it, but basically I will be recording myself and some other people saying some things and then I will be using the computer to analyze the difference between double and single vowels (example: see vs. seeing). So that could be a neat project.

Ok, back to work...
