Getting regular sleep is so essential for me. I need to be up in the morning or else I just feel off. It's been determined.
I am behind on my school work. :( Tonight I looked online at my GPA and I have a 4.0 in my Upper Divison English courses! I don't want to lose that in my last semester but ugggh it is so hard right now! Part of me still wants to go to graduate school though ... what!
Here is what I have to accomplish before the weekend is over:
- 3 page essay (English 459, on W.B. Yeats' poem, "The Second Coming") - late
- read "The Waiter's Wife" by Zadie Smith - late
- 489E's two Discussion Question responses - late
- read pp. 67-111 of The Golden Apples by 2:00 PM tomorrow, 4/9
- Anthro Quiz #4 by 12 PM tomorrow, 4/9
- 489E's Research Paper by Sunday, 4/12 at 11:59 PM ... except we have our remote gaming session on Sunday from probably 4 PM - 12 AM, which means I need to try to get this done on Saturday...
So... goals for tomorrow (...which is really today because it's 1 AM WHY god WHY) include all of my late assignments, reading through those 45 pages before class and taking the Anthro quiz, of course...
Tomorrow is Thursday, so if I can get through that shit I'll be stoked. And that will leave all of Friday and Saturday for me to do the five page research paper. Ugh.
I'm going to wake up at 7:30 so I can get Evelyn going. This week has been the worst week yet, in terms of her lying to us and dragging her ass and throwing fits over doing school work. She can manage to make what should be a few hours of work last until 9 or 10 in the evening. SHE IS IN SECOND GRADE, whaatt. Ugh. Yeah. So, when I make her start earlier it is easier for her to stay focused. I hope the same goes for me, even though I have to be constantly watching her and checking up on her to ensure her work gets done... I can probably try to read some during that time.
So, finish "The Waiter's Wife" by 8:30 AM (it's really short and I already read a page or two), do the two discussion questions by 9:30 AM. Do the quiz after I submit discussion question answers, which for sure should be way before 12 PM. Finish quiz by 12:30 at the very latest, giving myself an hour and a half to read 45 pages... Sounds possible. And leave the three pages for when Evelyn is done with her school work, which needs to be by 3 PM, jfc...
Oh, and Animal Crossing. I'm sorry. I can't play you obsessively tomorrow how I have been wanting to every single day since its release.
Ooh, I do have to say, I was completely enraptured by M. Nourbese Philip's "Discourse on the Logic of Language," which I highly suggest you listen to here! The actual reading of the poem itself is about 6 minutes long. And SO good!
I almost forgot, I do want to listen to the recording of the class I missed tonight. Was in the middle of a meltdown with Evelyn when class started, and said fuck it... But my professor in that class is genuinely fucking hilarious, so I don't want to miss it! Too bad it's 2 hours long...
