So here I sit in the library, it's just another Friday with people scurrying about to get in those last few hours of work before the weekend hits and the work really piles up. I chose to get up this morning with one goal in mind - to finish my reading for Cross Cultural Belief Systems. Thinking of course that I hadn't fallen too far behind, I went to Acadia's portal for learning - ACME. Yes, it's outdated but some profs just can't get used to this whole ACORN thing and really, why should they when ACME still works? Anyway, I open the link to the required readings and see that I am three weeks behind in reading... that's six chapters and seven articles that need to be read, reflected upon and written about by next Thursday.
Normally this wouldn't bother me... I tend to work well under pressure. However, with all that, a scene to memorize for my acting class, a huge presentation, a dance that needs to be created and presented in a few days, three huge mid-terms, a 3500 word research essay, 5 plays to read and rehearsals for Minifest (a student run collection of plays put on at Acadia), I can't help feeling a little overwhelmed - especially since all of this is to be accomplished within the next 2.5 weeks.
So of course I would be sitting here blogging instead of actually accomplishing any of the previously mentioned tasks. Perhaps it's about time I get down to it.
