Week after MEA
So apparently the week after MEA is supposed to be super intense? I guess I was not aware of this, but if feels like right now everything is culminating into these next two weeks, creating a large ball of stress and panic. First of all, we now have two research papers to worry about, the IA and the EE. I am especially nervous about the EE, since it can really impact if you get the Diploma or not. Also, the musical opens in a week, so the rehearsal schedule is picking up and things are getting quite stressful there too. In addition, the November 1st deadline for many colleges is quickly approaching, which means we also have to get those college essays finished up. Woofta! I guess it doesn't really make sense to complain, since we signed up for all of this. However, I still like to. I feel like I have already blogged several times about stress in my life, but I can't help it, it's just so relevant! Another thing that is really going to test the couple Dip Cans in the musical is the fact that next week is Tech Week for the musical, which means that we will be staying at school rehearsing from 2:45 until 10 or possibly later. And our EE first draft is due on Wednesday of that week... Yikes! I am going to encourage myself to look at this as a challenge, or a sort of game. If I can make it all work and get it all done, then I will have won. We can do it guys! I know you all have a bunch of other stuff going on, just like I do, and I appreciate you guys (microagression) for it. We can do it. GO TEAM!

Well I'm glad I'm not in any time-consuming activities, as this manages to consume most of my time anyway. I agree wholeheartedly, this week is where things will start getting really intense. Whenever another student complains about homework, I think about how I have infinitely many more papers to write than they do. That's considering they have none, as zero times infinity is any number, in this case two (or three counting the Music paper...).
ReplyDeleteI have a lot too. I have now decided to use this as a tool of procrastination. Oh, and not to be snarky, but what is the knowledge issue here? Your stress must be related to emotion. What about logic!?
ReplyDeleteI guess the knowledge issue is what the best way to handle this stress is. My emotion is influencing me to procrastinate and choose sleep over homework, but logic tells me to use my time wisely and work as hard as I can to get this stuff done. Since next week is tech week for the musical (I'll be at school from 2:30 until 10:30ish every night)my logical side is telling me to work hard and get ahead of my homework, especially the EE, since I will have very little time next week. We'll see if it actually happens...
ReplyDeleteI love your attitude - looking at it "like a game"! I just think about the satisfaction and relief we'll feel after first trimester ends... I can't imagine! I root for your logical side, sleep is overrated in my opinion.
