I can’t believe it is already halfway through the semester. The papers are going ever so slowly and the time is flying by. My English Seminar paper is written the most out of both papers yet the paper I feel least confident about. I also got tunnel vision and completely forgot about my Honors Research Paper and now have a proposal due by the end of the week and I haven’t thought about it since May. I’ll just have to keep fighting through these papers and keep my eye on the prize. As one of my classmates said during Senior Seminar, I want another set of cords so I can hang myself with them before graduation.

How I did it: My fiance and I had purchased the Sims 3 for the iPod Touch and it made us want to play the Sims 3, as did all the stuff on the Sims 3 website. Last night when my fiance went to the store she picked up the Collectors Edition and now we're both having fun! Read how I did it…
How I did it: I worked my arse off. I always did assignments and tried to never miss class. I surprised myself with some of my classes, but none of my A's were handed to me. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I took a Chauser class in college and the professor made us read "The Canterbury Tales" in its original form, Middle English. I was so worried that I was going to fail the class but I did really well! ^_^ Read how I did it…
See all "How I Did It" stories...

Two of the grad schools I am applying to, one being my top choice, do not require the submitting of a GRE score. I may just not have to take it! I have to keep looking at other grad schools, though. I think I should apply to more than just two!
