I've decided that the dominant feeling of spring semester sophomore year is one of dissatisfaction; now if only I could decide why I'm dissatisfied. I feel so frustrtated because I feel like I have to put my life on hold so that I can take classes.

O Chem is in 26 minutes and I'm terrified...I wanna be dead. Or done testing. =(

Call me cruel, but that made me feel a little better. At least I wasn't the only one suffering. Maybe it was a class-wide thing ( Read more... )

Muahahaha. A third of the way through the week with grading and my jazz project/paper handed in. Sweet. And guess what that means?? I'm done with Core FOREVER!!! Fabulous. Now to study Chinese like mad.

should really be working, but...
