Semester ends December 11th 12 months ago

I’m so close to finishing off the semester!! I’ve been doing so well throughout the semester, but lately I’ve been slacking off.

All that’s left is to finish up the remaining homework, write a research paper about how cavities are formed, memorize the amalgam tray set up, learn how to correctly mount anterior x-rays, refresh my knowledge of alginate and gypsum products, and study for my finals.

All I want to do or think about until it's done. 19 months ago

I know I’m procrastinating by writing this, but I’m determined to check this goal off.

I’m putting my heart into this goal and I need to disappear to do it. I cannot have a perfect g.p.a. this semester, but I still want to do extremely well on what’s left. I want to see what’s possible.

It feels selfish, but in the best possible way.
I’ll talk to you friends when I’m done and back in the living world. :)

Before next Wednesday:

  • 3 essays
    * Ethics (4-5 pages)
    * Diving into the Wreck analysis (8-10 pages)
    * -Presentation-
    * -First draft-
    * Poetry analysis (3-5 pages)
  • 12 1/2-1 page written responses for Ethics
  • 1 final exam—Ethics
  • Argue my midterm exam for an extra 2 points
  • Advanced creative writing portfolio
    * -All pre-writing exercises and drafts-
    * Final draft (8-10 pages)
    * 1-2 page reflection paper

I wanted to die. 19 months ago

I survived a lot this semester; everyone said I should have dropped out until my life stabilized, but I’m stubborn as hell and wouldn’t.

I need my stubbornness to get me through one more week.

This semester:
-Homelessness (is the worst bitch I know)
-Unemployment
-Getting dumped (feels worse than homelessness)
-Huge falling out with my mom-no contact, big grudges
-Absolutely no money. Less than 0 cents.
-2 jobs
-School

School. What’s a final or two compared to survival?

I’m doing this like no one thought I could: I am finishing this semester.

It is so hard for me to complete something that has lost its novelty. This semester has lost its novelty, and I absolutely need to get these (menial) credits.
