F.I.N.A.L.S. WEEK

ARGHHHHH….

Finals week in our household has always been a very touchy situation. Midterms…not so bad but, finals a completely different story.

During Harry’s finals, I typically leave town. It is better for our marriage.

Marriage advice #1: Any time unfettered attention needs to be directed towards higher education…. Spouses should vacate premises immediately.

This week… I have hit the higher education finals lucky lottery. I have 2 classes with an enormous amount of unfinished homework coupled with term papers and finals. It’s my turn to take a spin on the wheel of fortune and see how it all turns out. Harry did not leave town…. and we have company… so I improvised and used these guys to my advantage.

Once my papers were written… (I wrote 52 pages on multiple different subjects… from civil liberties, capitalism to socialism, and the self-incrimination clause) interesting stuff I know… but I had Danelle on one computer proofing a paper and Harry on the laptop reading the class discussion boards while I tried to cram 3 weeks worth of back log into my head. I was 8 chapters and 3 books behind.

I think this is going to be a long week. The only consolation is that the classes close Saturday midnight Eastern Time which is 7 a.m. Sunday morning here. So technically, I have until Sunday morning to finish my work.

Aren’t I the lucky one… don’t I have the edge over my classmates? I am an idiot sometimes.

Blessings to those who DO NOT procrastinate,
