It's almost the 8th week of the quarter, and while I'll be glad to get this thing over with, I'm not at all excited about getting those papers started. I've never really had to write anything that was over 4 or 5 pages long...so a 6-8 page paper seems like a form of torture to me...especially since I don't think I have enough to say to make up 6 pages...but, I guess I'll have to make stuff up...that shouldn't be too hard, right? But what sucks about this 6-8 page paper, is that it's like 1/4th of my grade...and I've gotten a B on my first midterm, and I doubt I'll do any better on my next one (which is today), so I'm hoping I can at least pull a B on the paper...that would give me a B in the class (if I don't bomb the 2nd and 3rd midterms) and I can live with a B.
I'm so ready for Spring! Even though my Spring Quarter's probably going to be tough, I still want the warmer weather. Snow is nice around Christmas, but afterwards, it's time to warm up (or at least not be subzero) and eventually be warm enough to go outside without a coat on. But no...we get 3 feet of snow instead. Don't get me wrong, I love this snow, and I'm kinda glad that we got those 2 days off because of it, but I hated being stuck at home because my mom wouldn't let me drive, and it was too damn cold to walk anywhere. I mean, I realize I haven't been home much, but being stuck with my family for 2 days is a little ridiculous!
Plus, I really hate this time of year because it marks several anniversaries of deaths in my family...plus we had someone pass away just last week (on Valentine's Day, actually), and so I'm really ready to get this part of the year done and over with! I want to be able to remember those that I've lost in a positive light, but it seems like everything (including the outside) is depressed, and I just crave the happy sunshine and the ability to get outside and enjoy it. I hope that Spring break will bring good weather, and I can enjoy my time off...if I get any time away from work.
