Stressed to the MAX!

Today i have a big test in genetics. I hope i do well. I am kinda stressing out because of it. I havent done well on the other genetics test. I hear this test isnt that hard that it just takes along time.I also have to read a couple of pages for my history class. During Thanksgiving Break i have to write a report about a fly project my partner and i had to do this semester in genetics. I is a semi- research paper, and we just got done writing a research paper for genetics. Sometimes i feel as if some of my teachers think this is the only class their students are taking.
Next week is thanksgiving break and i am not sure what i am going to do for thanksgiving. Alot of my family is busy so we arent going to have it with my dad’s side of the family. My mom’s side has decided to have an evening dinner. I have been thinking about going to see my boyfriends family with him, but i am not sure because my sister in law is coming and i dont want to leave her at my house by herself. I dont know what to do!

On the Run

So far this week i havent been that busy. After i turned in all those papers my week has slowed down. The one main thing i have this week that is really important is a genetics test. I hope that i do well on it. The test is going to be over pedigrees. We have to identify them and say what types of pedigrees she made and what types of diseases are that type of disease. Also we have to make a pedigree based on what she has given us.
I am disappointed a little. My cousin wanted me to go with her to see the midnight showing of NEW MOON… but i have my genetics test on friday afternoon. I really wanted to go see it, but i have to pass this test because genetics is kicking my butt. I may not get to go see it at midnight but i am plaining to go see it on saturday afternoon. I am hoping that the theater wont be so full in the afternoon.

Busy Weekend

This past weekend I was maxed out. I have a 15-20 page paper due today for my genetics class. I had most of it done but in needed to make little changes and touch it up. I also had a religion take home test i had to do. My teacher gave us 3 questions and wanted them to be 2 pages each. My answers werent 2 pages. I also have a history 2- 3 page paper due today too. I had to read a chapter from a certain book and use it as a source to aswer the a question on the roles of women in the 1600s. I cant slow down i have a genetics test on friday that i need to start studying for. I also have a lab. in genetics that takes a good hour every other day. We are doing a fly breeding project and i have to count how many different flies we have. I hope that after this week it will slow down some!

Slowing Down

This last week has slowed down some. I havent had as many test or homework to do. I have been relaxing some and working on some homework i have due in the future. I know that coming up i am going to be busy again beause i will have more test and homework. I am still driving back and froth to school but it is easier when i dont have a big test that day. I was feeling pushed to the limit on driving last thursday because i had an orientation at the hospital and than had to drive to school. I was pushing my time limit because i only had a half hour to get from one place to the next. but the rest of the week went slower and i enjoyed it.

Fall Break

This past weekend was fall break. I didnt do a whole lot. I just tried to catch up on some relax time and some studying i needed to do. I watched some movies. I now have 2 favorite movies. The Proposal and Ghost of Girlfriends past. I also read a couple of books that i needed for my genetics class term paper. I have a 20 page paper on 4 topics to write in the next 2 weeks. So i thought i better get started on it. Over all i had a good break Just relaxing and doing litte work.

This Week

This week i havent been as busy as i have been the last couple of weeks. I have had time to relax and take time out for myself. This past weekend was the county fair in my home town of Choshocton. I went to the fair 2 days and ate all the bad but wonderful food i could consume. Other than eat the food, I just walked around and watched kids on the rides, watched some of the animals, and walked through the buildings.
It amazes me how much i have changed my opinion about the fair as i have gotten older. When i was younger i would beg mymother to take me to the fair everyday to ride rides and eat. I never got tired of it and never thought the day would come when i did get tired and bored with the fair. That day has come. There is only so much of the fair you can take once you get older. I know just 3-4 years ago i still wanted to go to the fair more than i do now. But the reason for going had changed since i was younger. When i was a little girl i wanted to go to ride the rides, about 4 years ago all i wanted to go for was to hang out with my friends and maybe ride a few bigger rides. But now after one day of the fair i get bored. I see everything in one day and eat all i can. I dont really see the point in paying $8 to get in just to walk off all the food that i am consuming.

Busy Week

Last week, last weekend, and the begining of this week have have felt like i have more things to do than i have time for. I have a big genetics test coming up and i have been trying to study, but i hardly had time because i was doing some family things all weekend. I also have a 2-3 page paper to turn in on the same day as my genetics test. I am thankful that the paper is a group project. Also at the end of the week i have a nutrition test and a history test. Like i told you last week i drive back in forth to school and i have to fit that in my schedule too. I am defiently feeling the effects of everything. I feel like i just need to slow down, but i know i cant because i have too much to do.

Life on the go

This year I started transfered to a new college. I decided to commute. I live about 33 mile away from the school I transfered to. It takes me almost 40 minutes to get to school. I didnt think that it would be that bad, but i have come to realize in the 4 weeks of commuting that it is alot of drive time. I feel like I am always on the go and that I hardly have time to just relax. I am either driving in my car, Studying, or reading. By the end of the day I am exhausted.
While I am driving back and forth to school I am trying to find time to spend with my friends and family. My weekends have been busy just trying to catch up on homework and readings. I hope that it will get easier, but I have a feeling that this will only get worst. As the quarter goes on, Than the more homework and studing Iwill have to do.
I am hoping that by the end of the quarter i will be able to get an apartment near the school that i am attending, that way i won’t have to drive so much. I have also realized that I use alot of gas driving back and forth. Many people dont realize how much gas is used driving back and forth.
