This week, give or take, is going to be my hardest week so far this year, or possible since I started college. The difference this time is that I know whats going on and am more on top of things.
Starting Wednesday the 28 of October I have 9 days of pretty much constant study, work, or some other kind of stress.
On the 28 I have two tests, Poly Sci and Mineralogy. The following day a paper is due in Poly Sci. Friday the 30 starts off with a Chem test that is immediately followed up by a Poly Sic presentation (fortunately on the same topic as the paper.) Friday being the last day of the week one would think that is all. One would be wrong. All day Saturday I'll be gone on a Mineralogy field trip to Llano County.
That's just the half way point.
Sunday at 5:30 am I leave with the Baylor University Mens Choir on our fall tour to Dallas till late that evening. The next day, Monday the second, we continue our performance sprint by singing in Chapel all morning. All this singing is punctuated by the Men and Womens' Fall Concert on Tuesday the third. I'll get next Wednesday more or less free, and then Thursday is one more test in Geological History. All of this includes regular classes too.
Sure I'll enjoy some of this and just barely survive the rest but all of it, across the board, will be exhausting.

Late, oh so very late... as always.
And here I am, finally. Sitting here in my lack of work ethic trying to pass myself off as someone who has it all together. For the most part I do. However when it comes to academia something gets lost.
I don't know what it is, but it's along the lines of a lack of self motivation, even then that's not quite it. I know what I must do, and I usually know how much time I would need to do it, but I sit down and do nothing for a long time before I finally put pen to paper or type one word.
I do not know why I do this and I wish I could fix it, and I am trying, I just hope that my efforts are not in vain.
