Take home final, 8 essay questions in Social Psychology Got Monday, due Friday at 5p
Statistics final, but I can't do better than a B for the class so I'm shooting for the minimum I need which is 70%
I came home Monday from 10 hours at work, 3 at school, and promptly fell into a fever coma, I feel like utter crap.
My in-laws are coming this weekend, I need to clean and prepare, I have ten+ hour days ahead of me at work for the rest of the week...

I'm guessing C on the take home essay.. which would suck, I'd get Bs in both classes, which isn't that bad, but considering I'm aiming for competitive grad school programs every little bit counts...

Gar...I hate you immune system, why have you forsaken me!

Are you sick too? Because then I actually might feel slightly sorry for you.

10-12 hour days aren't great, but they are certainly easily survivable for a few days.

I've heard legends of spouses/couples who used to take exams for each other...

Yeah, I took a 1/2 day and VPNd today, but it would cost me $600 to take anymore, so I'll be in 10+ tomorrow, and actually there's a project that needs attention.. :(

That sounds rough. Nuthin' to do but suck it up and do the shit. Is telling the inlaws that it's a bad time to visit out of the question?

Well good luck! Hopefully you can pull through. Just remember that as hard as you think you've got it, someone, somewhere else, equaled it plus one and still finished the race.

Feeling ya.

Work 40 hour job as an intern, this week and next they will decide to give me a full time job.....a really really good job.
....so now its like a 60 hour week.

3 finals
no studied cause I had to work somewhere else of the weekend.

On the plus side....I have a B in both and just need to pass...so i could probably get a D on both and still pass..

AHHHH
