So if you are also of the post-secondary education persuasion, you will be familiar with the special time of year that is now upon us. It's been just long enough to settle back into the routine of school and start to figure out new classes, and KA-BLAM, it's time for a few solid weeks of torture.
The thing about midterms is that it isn't even really a few solid weeks. They started happening the last week of January and can go on until the second week of March. But for me, these next five days before the break are crunch time.
Which is why this week's post is going to be short, just a quick chronicle of my descent into midterm madness.
The last week or so I've been able to feel my body slowly break down because of the stress. Hardly enough sleep due to studying, and half the time I'm kept awake with mini-panic attacks anyways. No time to grocery shop, so I can't remember the last time I saw any fresh fruit. And to top it off, everyone around me is sick, so it's just a matter of time before I succumb to that as well.
Reading week really can't come soon enough. But until it does, I have studying, reading, essay-writing, diagram-building, grammar-checking and note-taking to do.
I guess there really isn't anything else I can do but Gryffindor the fuck up, and get through this madness. And hey, if it doesn't kill me, it will make me stronger, right?
To be honest, I think I'd settle for it just not killing me.
Goodnight, bloglings
