On your mark, get set….RUNREALLYREALLYFASTHURRYGOHURRY!
Today and Wednesday will be interesting exercises in my academic agility. On Wednesday, I have a test scheduled in my first class. This professor is well-known for giving tests (and final exams) that last well into the night. In my second class, I have my mid-term exam. I know what you’re thinking, “Daggumit, John. Why do you get all the fun?” I don’t know, but here’s how I’m trying to portion it out.
I’m supposed to meet Professor LongTest this afternoon to so that I can go ahead and put in about an hour towards the test. Then, on Wednesday, I’ll hopefully be able to finish it up within my normal hour-and-a-half that I sit through his class. Professor OtherClass has decided that our midterm will be take home (woo-hoo) so I’ll receive that one via e-mail sometime Wednesday and will be expected to get it back to her within 24 hours. Not to mention that Wednesday is my weekly Day-O-Meetings.
So, in theory, I’m going to be able to hash all of this out and make it through these exams with no problems. I expect, however, that I may be burning the midnight oil on Wednesday in order to complete the midterm exam. Oh, and I looked at the schedule and realized that both of the final exams are scheduled for the exact same time. Excellent….just what I need.
On the plus side, I sent in my registration for the summer semester. If this semester turns out OK and those classes mesh well with my schedule, I’ll be half-way done with my master’s by the time summer is over. Of course, I’m sure that Kelley’s patience will be 97% worn through, but I’ll try to buy some more of that with chocolates and ice cream delights.
