I'm Tired

Oh so tired.

I have two finals on Friday. One in Marketing and the other in Cognitive Psychology.

Psych isn't a big deal, I've done well on both tests, and will make use of the study guide shortly, so that I can dominate the test, and get a B+ or better for the class.

Marketing is another story. 90% of the grade is based on 2 tests. 45% a piece. My first test I got a 75.5% on. 8% of the class is attendance, and 2% is Marketing Research, which was an utter debacle I won't go into. Along with some extra credit available, because the prof is a nice guy. -- Anyway, the book is by no means a fast read, and we're covering 245 pages, which took me over 10 hours to read. So, basically, I need to get a 90% or better on the final to get at least a B in the class. I've been trying to prep for this test since Saturday. Review tomorrow, yay!

The problem is, I, like all college students am sleep-deprived. Today, after work, I came back to my room, declothed (new word) and deposited myself in bed for the hour prior to dinner. Tomorrow will be unbearable. I have to get up early to accomplish the 2% requirement for the Marketing Research, go to both my classes, have my 12 minute lunch, my 3.5 hours of work where I consistently attempt to be productive but end up falling asleep. After work, I get to do the Extra Credit which I know not how long it will take, followed by cramming for the above listed exams.

Why didn't I do the Marketing stuff earlier? -- The Marketing Research wasn't previously available to me at times that didn't conflict with class or work until now. And the extra credit required the rental of a video camera, which doesn't become available until tomorrow either. (Twas assigned last Friday, and looked into on Monday)

And on Friday, in between said exams and work, I have to pack up all my shit, and move it to my job (basically halfway across campus) so I can go home Saturday... and no, I can't (won't) do it while I'm on the job. -- Though I have solved the time I will move it, packing it up is gonna be a bitch.

If I'm so tired, and have so much to do, why did I type this up? Well, it's not stress relief.. I don't feel stressed... just tired. I can point to relief of Proactive Interference so I can get on with other studying, or I can just say, I needed a break from staring at a book, and getting what I need to do aired is therapeutic.

In summation, I say: Yay for Finals.

ps. On Friday, I will be posting my "memorable quotes" from the classes. They may be humorous, they may not, but I sure got a kick out of them at the time.
