- Visit UC Davis for 4 days. Take the last 4 of my flights and then go home, not much worse for wear, but certainly a few days behind.
- Catch up on homework that got put off because I was traveling.
- Work on a group project. Group projects are almost always extremely stressful for me.
- Decide where to go to school (UC Davis... yay!).
- Finish writing my honors thesis... stay up until 5AM the night before it is due (haha that was fun!).
- Have two exams within a week of the thesis being due...
- Go to the Math/CS department dinner. Win awards.
- Catch up on all of the homework that built up while I was writing my thesis.
- Run into a bunch of very professional fundamentalist christians (I didn't capitalize christian for a reason: most Christians are nice people, although I disagree with them on most things. These people were not nice.) trying to tell students not to have sex, not to be gay, not to be a woman having a real job or wearing pants, and not to believe in anything science tells you. I found this to be particularly infuriating, although I kept my head.
- Get so stressed out that I can't be around people... go to a councilor to work out how to communicate the fact that I need to be alone more effectively.
- You don't even want to know how much homework I had last week.
- Do my honors oral exam. Get honors! Realize that now I have to revise my honors thesis.
- Work up a stats presentation at the last minute with my partner (no... this was a different group project, and my partner totally rocks!)
- Go to an awards ceremony. Get awards I already knew about. Yay!
- Finish writeup of stats presentation.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm really happy with everything I did and I'm really proud of myself. But I'm at the end of my rope. Luckily, after tomorrow I have very little left to do until exams start (Friday). It's just that I know I haven't been able to keep up with everything else very well. I pretty much gave up on a problem for one of my classes because I just couldn't work any more.
One other problem: while I'm working my butt off to try to get everything done in a reasonable period of time, everyone around me (ie my neighbors, not my friends, who either almost or exactly as swamped as I am) are partying. Late at night. So I don't even get much sleep on top of it.
As for right now, my boyfriend is bringing me a glass of wine. Aww... how sweet! I guess I will sleep tonight.
The next blog post will be more fun. I swear!
