7 Days of Grace

I am recovering from spring break quite well even though I have a cold that is nagging away at me. Getting back into the groove of things is going smoothly. What gets me is that I have two tests this week. Why didn’t we take them last week? Sometimes I wonder about professors. Then, I come to the conclusion that they just do what ever floats their boat. However, this can work out to the benefit of students. For example, getting what I am going to call “the seven days of grace” in order to revise a paper. That is pretty sweet. This is really helpful, because my paper is crazy long. Having an extra week will give me time to tear it apart and shorten it. Thank goodness. My advice is to never leave a paper to write until the day before it is due, even if you had two projects, and two tests before break, and no computer access during break. Wow, that was a mouthful. I am glad to be back though, studying, writing, and knocking down my “to do” list once again.

As I was working on breaking down my agenda, a crisis hit. I had decided to get my biology review sheet downloaded and filled out, but had trouble accessing it. Great, the Internet in my building was down. I guess I can be glad that this has happened only once this year, but still, ALL my homework is on the Internet. I could not just move on to another assignment because that assignment called for the use of the Internet. This got me thinking. I spent all of spring break without the Internet, and it was not a problem. But, I get back to school and I cannot even do anything without it. I do have reading assignments, which I was, the better person, so I started the reading for my quiz on Thursday, but still! Not having the Internet was so inconvenient. Just imagine if it was down for more than one hour, 23 minutes, and 34 seconds. I would have gotten so behind. Now, I have even a greater amount of sympathy for those who have sketchy Internet. It is a pain in the badonkadonk. When it finally came back on, it felt like Christmas morning. Santa had emerged from the chimney and put twice as many pretty, shiny, and wrapped presents underneath the tree. Such relief ran from my head and jingled in my toes. The part that still sucked was, that once it was working, I was so tired from complaining, that all I wanted to do was sleep. No worries though, I got my biology review sheet done. I did sacrifice studying though to write this entry, but I needed some deserved chill time. Biology can be a little overbearing sometimes. Well, my eyes are heavy, by leg muscles are sore, and my cold is nagging at my senses. Imagine getting into a warm bed that is soft with three pillows, and lots of blankets. That will be me in a few minutes.
