I hope everyone had an excellent Thanksgiving holiday, I definitely did. Not only did I get to spend my days with my siblings, cousins, aunts and more, but I found out that I am going to be an aunt! My big brother and his wife are having a baby! He or she is already the size of a kumquat and next week he/she will be the size of a fig, my brother and sister-in-law say. Frankly, this fruit comparison makes me a little uneasy about eating fruit salad.

This week has suddenly become extremely stressful. For tomorrow, I have several long articles to read for the practice class (many of which are extremely hard to read because the print on the page is so blurry or almost non-existent) and two articles to write papers on and more reading to do for research class. Then, for Monday, I was only supposed to have 3 papers (totals 16 pages there, plus the research) due for my Human Behavior class BUT my Policy class professor moved his take home final up to Monday as well! (4 essays x 3-4 pages=panic). Two days after that my practice class has its 7-page-paper due plus a "quiz" I need to study for based on all the long articles we had to read. We were given a list of topics to focus on for this quiz, but most of them are so broad I'll still have to memorize whole articles to be prepared.

My head hurts.

That's right Far Side, tell it like it is.
Till next time,

There are only 5 classes offered during the day on Wednesday next semester. Two in the morning, and 3 in the afternoon. HOW FRUSTRATING. We foundation students will register for the spring semester on Monday, and I am not thrilled with my lack of choices. I am sure everyone else is just as frustrated. See, the "Social Work Practice" class is a two semester stint. To properly continue this class in the next semester at the same day and time, my classmates and I must sign up for the same section for the spring as we have now. Meaning, I have to have this class on Wednesday morning again. That's fine, except I'd like to take another class right after this one so I do not have to drive all the way into Baltimore again for an evening or a class on Friday. But there's only three classes in the afternoon. And as a foundation student who hasn't finished all her prerequisites for other classes, I can really only take one of these three classes. What if the professor for that class is really bad? Too bad for me!

Grrrrr! fumes the Angry Little Asian Girl
