Downside

I've never really had a problem with the work that was given in any of my classes, but for some reason the paper I just wrote was like pulling teeth. I had to "research and comment upon the influence of the English Romantic poets on Mary Shelley's FRANKENSTEIN." It was terrible. Five pages of complete BS, and one of the most dreadful processes I have ever endured. Yes, I put it off until the last minute. No, I had no research done when I sat down to write it last night. Yes it is due in 45 minutes and I just finished it. Yes I woke up at 7am and skipped math class just to get it done. No I will not be making it through the day.
This is the second paper I've had to write in the past few days. The other one was a four page paper discussing Mark Twain's ideas about government as presented in Huck Finn. I was pretty close to declaring Theatre my primary and quite possibly my ONLY major, but don't worry I haven't gone that far. I'm just extremely stressed out today. I have to hand this paper in at 11 and sit through a 50 minute class with practically no sleep. I then have a break for about an hour, in which I will ideally take a short nap (fat chance). From 1-3 I have my stagecraft lecture, which I am hoping will let out early because I'm taking the college writing exam at 3. So another bullshit essay to see if I can stay in my major, lovely. Then I have a Mask & Hammer meeting at 4 (basically a drama club meeting). It was supposed to be a stage combat lesson taught by some guy that's somehow affiliated with the college, but due to conflicting schedules he is no longer coming today. It's a bummer, but I'd much rather do something like tha on a day where I actually have the energy to move. Ok, well I have to make the final revisions to this paper now, possibly grab a quick shower and ifI'm lucky I'll have time to grab breakfast on the way to class.

If you don't hear from me for a week, it's because I'll be taking a small coma to catch up on sleep I've deprived myself of :-)
