How much longer until I get a break?

It's what, the 27th of March? I have to go until the 19th of May before I get a reasonable respite from all the hell of this semester. BLAH!

I must say that I really would be happy if I could just finish one or two of my classes now. This week I'll get REALLY close to finishing my biostatistics class, as I have my second test this coming Thursday (a week from today). After it's over, I'm only going to have something like 150 points left in the class, out of over 500. Basically, if I get an A on this test on Thursday, I can get no worse than a B in the class, even if I didn't take the final.

That's basically the only good news I have anywhere on the horizon. My thesis is up to 42 pages, and I'm probably going to need that many more before I can say I have a completed thesis (not perfect, but just plain completed). I've sort of got my third chapter done. I'm not going to finish my second one now because it's just about science, and I need to focus on my argument with the philosophy stuff first. I think that once I get it done, I should be ok. My guess is I'll probably get a B on it, but as I described in my last post, this will not kill me. In fact, it'll barely phase my GPA. Plus, it's philosophy, and I'm not going into philosophy as a life path or anything like that.

Pretty much, even if I get a C, I'm still going to graduate magna cum laude, I'm still going to have three majors and a minor, and I'll be at various levels of competence in seven languages. Fluent in two (English and Spanish), decent in a third (French), and familiar with four more (Latin, German, Italian, and Irish Gaelic).

I think that's a pretty damn good accomplishment.

Today's agenda isn't too complex. I have already done a load of laundry, which is drying on the line, and it's 9:30. I also have already vaccuumed the kitchen and living room, cleaned the first floor bathroom, and yeah. Other things to do today include folding and hanging other clothes, doing some dishes, more thesis writing, and vaccuuming two other rooms on the first floor. Tonight, I have to play easter bunny because my family is coming home tomorrow, so I have to do all of that good stuff.

To be honest, my sister is getting to the age where the beans should be spilled pretty soon. I learned when I was 8, and she's almost 9 now. My guess is that after this coming Christmas she'll hear the down and dirty truth about the tooth fairy, easter bunny, and santa claus.

This next week is so going to suck. I can feel it. And I have at least five more after that.

It makes me really hate my sister right now, because she gets out of school on May 2. Actually, I think for her it's April 30 that she's done with how her finals pan out.

Meanwhile, I still have 19 days of torment at that point.

I can take comfort in knowing that my bioseminar class is done the 30th of April, my thesis has to be pretty much done by then, and like I said, I shouldn't have to worry too much about biostats by that point. My genetics lab grade should be pretty friggin close to an A, and French will be almost there.

I need one of those breaks where you don't have to care about anything-school, work, anything. Blech.
