i find your lack of faith disturbing

this is pretty much what my brain looks like right now.

it's crunch time, people. with three-ish weeks left until i'm done with this semester, i'm definitely flipping out a little. okay, maybe i'm flipping out A LOT. i know that all the work will get done, but damn. there's just so much of it to do.

i'm fine with taking finals. individual tests are no problem because i control them and i know exactly what to do to do well. but group projects are a totally different story. coordinating schedules? nightmare. splitting up the work and getting everyone to do a decent job on their parts? don't even get me started. it sucks because we've all got three or more group projects to do at once (thanks, business school!) and we all have a hard time fitting our lives around everything. most groups are pretty good, but i've had a few nightmare members...they don't do their work or don't show up to meetings or don't communicate with the group or do terrible work. sometimes it's a combination of all of the above! i hate dealing with those people. i used to be more timid and just correct their mistakes or do the work for them, but i've turned into more of a meanie now and i make them fix it themselves. i know it sucks, but they had ample opportunity to do a better job, and i refuse to turn in somebody else's bad work and have it reflect negatively on me or on any other member of the group that worked hard. plus, somebody's got to have a backbone, or else those members will just walk all over you again in the next project.

but off the soapbox for a while. i probably won't be sleeping much over the next week. that's okay though! what has to be done will get done. and then i can spend my vacation researching jobs and what warm city i want to move to.

switching subjects: winter is cold. i don't like it. so, i wear running tights underneath my jeans. i know i probably look silly and crazy when i show people, but i don't care. i am warm and cozy in them. when the wind blows, i can't feel it. it makes me happy. at least that way, i can pretend that i live in a warmer city.

also, random note: i wrote a ten page term paper in 3.5 hours last night. holler! hopefully i get a good grade on it, fingers crossed...because it's worth 30% (!) of my grade.

ugh. now back to work.
