Save me...

I'm officially stressed out.

It's after 1:30am and I'm trying to complete my CST lab so all I have to do is my assignment on Sunday when I get home (let's hope I can get that done in 5 hours -- like that'll happen). I'm stressed because I'm going to be without electricity and the Internet Friday evening-Sunday morning. I need my computer to finish this CST assignment! It's really only the animation and the initial composite that's the problem. The other 2 parts are pretty easy. 1 is to just change my composite using different techniques in two different styles/moods. Another is to make my composite photos (the 3 of them) into a Web Photo Gallery through PhotoShop. The composite will take a while because I have to make it to show a "facet of my personality." I have NO clue what to portray. Making the animation itself isn't hard. It's getting 15 thumbnails and altering most of my photos is the problem. I'm just glad I got my Lab3 done and the Discussion Assignment done. I don't have to worry about those. I just have to turn in my Lab3 when I get home.

I'm also stressed out because I just finished my 3rd week of classes and I feel like I'm hardly learning anything. LoL. I have a bio exam on Wednesday! I don't feel confident in that test at ALL. I also need to catch up on GIS and read all the material. I've been doing the exercises because it's one of those "click the red toolbox. Do you see all the trays in there? Click the one that says "project." " So...I kind of "space" while doing them. I will say...they can wake me up every once in a while!

I'm also writing a paper a WEEK for my 300 class! How insane is that? This week I actually had 2 papers due (3 pages each) and I ended up writing 2 pages for my CST discussion assignment. I haven't written this much in a LONG time (about 2 years).

On top of school, also, this is the first week I have NOT worked more than 20 hours at work. I only worked 4. :P I'm only supposed to work 14 a week. I'm still helping that lady too. I really enjoy helping her. She's really nice, but sometimes it just gets crazy. I'm also volunteering at our church in MOPs (Mothers of Preschoolers). I'm essentially watching preschoolers for about 1.5 hours every other week. It's fun, but it still adds onto my days. I'm also still volunteering at the aquarium. I'm actually mentoring now.

On top of all that, I still have my podcast I'm running and co-editing. Our show won't come out this week because of me. :P I just couldn't find time to edit my parts. Luckily the forum doesn't need any work. I can't even do any of HP fan stuff I'm so busy. Something had to give and my reading group is suffering for it, but oh well. There will be others. I am about to drop something, though. I'm just about to go crazy...Tuesday I spent 6 hours on campus...only 3 was required for class. I spent 5 hours on GIS alone. Today...I was on campus for 4 hours (left class early). I'm just tired...that's all... :)

With that...I'm back to homework and sleep...Hopefully I'll make it to bed by 2:15am. I have to get up at a 7:45am.
