3 days and 20 hours

That is how much time until I am DONE! Now, it was hard to decide when my countdown should be to. I finish my last final Friday at 10am, but in theory I could finish before then. But then I have to go to work for the rest of the day. Though I'm also working the whole week after that, and then again for the next six months. So, I chose my countdown to be until December 10th at 5pm, when I can come home from work to NO schoolwork, NO studying, and nothing but relaxation! Though all my friends will be going home so I won't have many social opportunities...

So, just a current update. What I have on my plate tomorrow: A paper due at 10:30, an exam from 10:30-12:30, Work from then until 5, with a 20 minute jot over to my professors office for an entretien (wherein we discuss the whole quarter, and its worth points).

I have written the paper, but it still needs edits. I was supposed to work today, but instead I chose to stay home and be productive. I was very good in the day. I got off to a bad start by taking a nap, but it helped me focus a lot more for the whole afternoon. I wrote 6 to 7 pages for my paper, compiled my French work for my entretien, got my papers ready and started a study guide. I also did cleaned my room, did some laundry and worked on cleaning the stove a bit.

Once dinner time hit, my productivity went down, and it was hard for me to get back on it. However, I did and I have edited by paper up to the point where it is almost ready. One thing that I like is that, in general, and *knock on wood*, but I tend to do well on papers written in English. I write out whatever is in my head and I do ok. I have gotten A's on the last two papers for this class, and I can tell by my peers grades that that isn't necessarily an easy task. Part of me thinks that this is good enough (I seriously didn't think my others were that great but I did good), but the other part of me thinks that this is my last paper ever at WWU, and that I should make it AMAZING. I'm pretty good at ignoring that part.

The only thing left to do really (besides another editing read through or two, of course), is study for my exam. That actually is a big deal. The exam is 5 essay questions, where each one is a page minimum. We had the same style for the other two exams, but I get the impression she expects more from us and will grade accordingly. Therefore I want to make sure I do well. I got an A on the first test, and a B on the second. I studied more for the first then the second. Therefore, it would be logical that I should study for this one.

Ok, so I only have 4 more minutes until I have to hit send, else the count down will be wrong. I am sorry that this is, once again, a "boring" post wherein I talk about school and school only, but if it makes you happy this is my last quarter, so it shouldn't happen again! Though I am auditing a french class, and taking a class online at a community college, so I'm not completely done.... :/

Now I have to go study! Tootaloo!
