Midterms are finally over. People's lives seem to be becoming less stressful. I did decently on my Math Methods midterm, about average for a class with this professor. I have an assignment due tomorrow and a quiz. I really want to finish early and watch a movie, but we'll see what happens. I only have 3 problems out of 8 left. But one of them is really difficult. The other two, I'm not so sure about.
Alex is getting here in 10 days! Holy cow that's soon! That means I really need to clean my room and do laundry! I definitely need to do laundry in the next couple of days. I'm running low on socks. I hate that.
I still haven't heard back from any other schools. That's good because it means I didn't get rejected in the first round. Basically it looks like I'm temporarily wait listed at the other schools. Hopefully some of their first picks will turn them down, and I can get accepted too!

Life is getting better.
Sorry for that last post. That's what happens when you have lots of stuff to do that you don't particularly want to do. And you're extremely stressed about getting it done on time.
Anyway, if you haven't already heard. I've gotten into two grad schools! The first is the University of Arizona, College of Optical Sciences. They're offering me $41,000 a year. Which, after the tuition and required insurance amounts to about $16,000 a year to live off of. The second is Oregon State University. I haven't received any financial info from them yet though.
Also, I have officially dropped my Japanese course. No, that does not mean I dropped my minor. I can still take the exit exam and as long as I pass, I will get my minor.
Well, I should really get back to my Math Methods of Physics homework. I've gotten into the habit of signing contracts with Melissa about how much I must get done before I am allowed to watch TV. And I really want to watch a movie tonight! Only one more problem and TV here I come!

Midterms Stink!
Ok. So here's my life in a nut shell. I have class every MWF from 8:30 until 12:20. Physics, more physics then Japanese. By this time, my brain is dead. Mondays after class, I take about a half hour break, then study until dinner time. After dinner time I study until about 1am, then get to bed. On Tuesdays, I get up at 9am, study until lunch, study until dinner, study until 9 or 10, watch a tv show or movie (if I have time and energy) then go to bed. Wednesdays, after class, I eat a quick lunch, then gfo to work from 1-4. Normally work runs late. I then study for a couple of hours and go to dinner. After dinner, I have to run a meeting from 7-8. at 8:15 I have class until 9:45. Then I study until about 1am. Thursday comes along. I get up at 9 am and study until lunch. After lunch I do a almost weekly shopping trip with Melissa. We pet cats at PetSmart, pick up crickets for her salamanders and go to the grocery store. Fridays, after class, I eat lunch, then study until 5. I have class at 5:15 until 6:45. After this, I study until about 8pm. Then I go out with friends or stay in and watch a movie. Then ALL DAY saturday I study. Unless, on the rare occasion, I have something to do on Saturday, then I skip the movie Friday night. On Sunday's I study all day except for my one hour Kappa meeting.
So, if people are wondering, or complaining about how I have not made this blog in a ridiculously long time. It's because I have no life. I work 24/7. You try understanding Thermal Physics, Mathematical Methods of Physics and Japanese. It's a lot of work. I have four midterms this week that will account for at least 20% of my grade in all of my classes. Two of those midterms are tomorrow. Then I get another midterm on Friday. But don't worry, I'm supposed to, in the midst of all this, find time to work on my take home midterm.
Meanwhile, I'm sleeping an average of 4 hours a night, forgetting to talk with my boyfriend online. And being generally way to stressed and caffinated to possibly be healthy. So, I apologize for not updating you on my life, but truth is, it's not that interesting. If you had to guess what I'm up to, studying or class are basically the only options for me right now.
Sorry for the stressed out post. I hope I didn't ruin your image of the party college life. lol.
