Exams, Papers, and Stress…Oh my!
By Brielle | November 23, 2009
Well last weekend I was floating on air and now this week I am barely staying above the surface. Let’s just say I am starting to realize that I have 6 days of classes left and then exams are here. Oh and the great thing about this semester is that I basically have two weeks of exams. Most professors think giving us an exam the week before finals week helps us, but in reality I have so much other stuff to do that it just adds on.
I have five papers, five exams and an oral presentation due in the next two weeks. Needless to say I am feeling just a WEE bit stressed out. I’ve never had five exams and five papers. Usually I’ll have around three or four exams and then maybe two papers so this semester has been a bit overwhelming. The problem is, I love all of my professors so I cannot even say anything mean about them or say it is their fault. They are all great professors… I just wish they would have either given us an exam or a paper. Is that too much to ask?
There are three things keeping me from drowning this week:
1. I’m seeing New Moon tonight with the ladies I work with in the Admissions office at Canisius (How awesome is that?) I have been waiting for this movie forever so this will be a nice break.
2. There is only one more day of classes left till Thanksgiving break. The first class is all presentations and in the second class we get free pizza (SCORE!)
3. Thanksgiving is only days away…= food = me happy = NO STRESS!
Let’s hope next week I find some things to keep me above the surface. I hope everyone enjoys their Thanksgiving! I’ll be sure to write about how mine went when we get back from break! 
<3,
Brielle
