Assignment Checklist

Does it freak anyone else out that it's almost halfway through the semester already?? The month of October is lovely, but extremely busy for me school-wise and I think I may only be able to truly enjoy the last week or so of this month.

Things to get done this month:

1. Paper/Presentation for Business of Art (tomorrow--halfway done at this point in the evening)
2. Renaissance paper proposal and research bibliography (still need to pick a topic!)
3. Human Impact quiz, e-mail assignment, and test
4. 32 Online Spanish activities
5. Big essay for EN 300
6. Spanish test and oral exam

Deep breaths. Okay, that's really not as bad as I built it up in my head. I think it's just stressful for me right now, because I am still sick-- yes, after two weeks of misery, STILL SICK! I think I'm going to try going to the campus health clinic tomorrow because I think this weird sickness has turned into a sinus infection. My body needs to make up its mind of whatever I'm sick with... I can't seem to get better! All I want to do is rest but there is always something to get done for school.

At least after tomorrow, I will not be as stressed because presentations freak me out-- I get so nervous talking in front of a group of people. For some reason, I can joke around and be the center of attention if I'm trying for laughs or being silly, but if I actually need to be serious, I freak. That's probably my insecurities coming out, huh?

I've decided that I'm going to Lawrence on Saturday for some refreshment and new inspiration. Maybe I'll check out the latest exhibits at the Spencer or go to a couple thrift stores, grab some coffee and forget my cares. Anyone is welcome to join me if you also need an escape from the stress of your life, too!
