Overachieving to Underachieve

Aaah, finished my last history paper of the semester. Now I can relax.

Actually, I didn't even have to write this one. I could have waited to do one in November or early December, but I don't want to torture myself by unnecessarily piling work onto my plate for the end of the semester. I'll have enough to keep me busy then.

To the former New Jerseyan (Jerseyite? Mobster? Whatever they're called there)...you're right, I only have class for a few hours a day. However, every hour of time in class translates to roughly two hours of work outside class.

Let's look at my weekend and see how much fun I'm having...
Saturday: Worked 7 am to 6:30 pm. Studied for about 90 minutes, went out for about 2 hours, went to sleep.
Sunday: Studied for about 90 minutes, spent about 5 hours on paper, going to study for another hour or two, will go to sleep. Took three breaks: watched a movie for one, ran some errands for another, blogging now.

Besides, I'm not looking for sympathy when I post about my crappy schedule next semester. Just telling you the minutiae of my life. I share like that.

7 am to 6:30 pm? That's not even a 1/2 day at work, we used to DREAM of days like that. And I'm a former NYer.
