I woke up sick this morning. I haven’t worked out yet if I have a cold or the flu; I’m supremely groggy at the moment. If I could, I would be in bed right now, but unfortunately I have six papers due in these two weeks, none of which are completed at the moment. Stress levels are high.
I’m working on one of them right now which is a lot more work than I originally anticipated. Instead of slogging three essays off this long weekend, I am still on this same, one paper due tomorrow.
Nothing like deadlines to keep me working, though. Not only have I been tottering about the house doing chores — my parents are visiting in the next few days, so I need to undertake spring-cleaning of epic proportions before then — I’ve also completed my course evaluations! I’m not sure why I feel so proud of this, but I’m glad I won’t be receiving any more emails bugging me to complete them; my inbox is already overflowing with messages I need to respond to.
Back to my essay I go.
Being a sick student at this time of year is the worst.
