Recommendations and Study Guides!

David is carefully calculating his next move in the attempt to storm one of the graduate university choices. Meaning that he is going around seeing who loves him enough to give him a recommendation - at least his deadlines all are in January or later. As for me, there is a midterm for the 110 class next week so I am working on study guides for the students and waiting to hear about when I should conduct a review session. Plus I have my own test next week as well. So busy, busy again! This time though, I managed to pull out a miracle and write a 10+ page paper in 1 day (including the research) and get 3 out of the 6 study guides finished. Only 3 more to do tomorrow! Plus writing another paper about blood and kingship in the Maya world. Huzzah! With October mostly over, I'm horrified to realize that I have under a month to finish my book list for my GIANT READING EXAM in December, do all the research for 2 papers due in December and somehow magically pass all of my tests... Can we vote to add more weeks to the semester or maybe more hours in the days? Stress is a great motivator; so is panic. These two emotions are my new best friends. David has somehow managed to remain calm through all of this but perhaps as the semester continues hurtling towards its conclusion he might join me.
