Overwhelmed? Why yes. Yes I am.

Well, it is 12:45 on a Tuesday night, and I am sorry to say that I have about 3 hours worth of homework ahead of me, if not more. And even if I do work for the next three hours, I will still be completely behind schedule. So why am I procrastinating, you may ask? Well, one reason is that I am a freshman in college, and that is what we do. Another reason is that I haven't had any time to myself today. I was in bed by 2 am last night, woke up at 8, went to the library for 45 minutes and was far too tired to be productive, went to sleep for 45 minutes at 10, went to Spanish at 11, ate lunch at 12, went to Shakespeare at 1 (which I didn't have time to do the reading for... and still won't have time to do it by Thursday), left for work at 2:35 (15 minutes after getting out of Shakespeare), got back to school at 4:20 in time to grab some homework and run to a meeting about tutoring (thankfully that took an hour less than had been anticipated because the guest speaker could not make it), got dinner at 5, sat in my room on my computer trying to rest for a moment, went to Perfect Pie rehearsal at 6:40, left at 10:20, and have been attempting to read Arthur Brooke's The Tragicall History of Romeus and Juliet for the last few hours.

Unfortunately my Thursday is going to be identical to today, except not only do I have a Spanish essay due and a Shakespeare quiz that day, I have a 6-8 page Shakespeare paper due on Friday. I've been hoping to get my Shakespeare paper finished by tomorrow, so that I would not have to work with it too much during my non-existent free time on Thursday. Unfortunately, things are not going as planned. I do have a good reason to try to get it finished as soon as possible, and that is that a friend of mine who knows a lot about Shakespeare has said he will take a look at it. Hopefully all will do well. For now I must get back to reading. I still have 20 pages of Romeus and Juliet, 27 chapters of Exodus, a Spanish paper to write, and hopefully a Shakespeare paper to start.

Come Friday, I will be a very happy girl. Until then.... f***.
