Shamless self promotion

A break from not doing the things I am supposed to be doing.

For those of you who don't know me personally, you probably don't know much about me, but a small part of me ( and this will be debated) is that I have Multiple Sclerosis. I'm fortunate enough that it doesn't effect my life drastically now, and I'd like to keep it that way. Every year we participate in a walk to help raise money for  research. I find the best way to do this is to just tell every one. So if you're feeling generous  please donate

Thanks! 

I'm not lazy!

I had such high hopes for spring break.  I would post here, I would finish research, I would read The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism. Instead I watched J. Edgar and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, spent way too much time goofing off with my friends and drinking, napping, hanging out with the dog and enjoying the unseasonably warm March in Wisconsin.

I am a chronic overachiever. I do too much take on too many projects and it's rare that I take a week like this to unwind and relax. So please do not judge me as lazy, I am just normal, for a change. I will try and get back to writing here more regularly and more often, because if I don't practice writing and think about writing how will I ever learn to write. That being said it's back to routine.
Although seems like a week with no use for school has made me forget everything.

Ritalin is for the weak!

I need to focus. Naturally I am the kind of person who does too much at once, I worry about things I don't really need to worry about. For instance, the GRE.
I've really got another year before I have to worry about it, that is if I don't overload myself with another semester like this one and take too many credits. I keep taking practice tests and letting this black cloud of test hang over me. It's not the language portion I am worried about (at least I don't think I should be worried about it) it's the math.
Math- my nemesis. Who ever started the lie that learning music helps build math skills should be beat! I am a great musician, awful mathematician. I just don't get how math works. I know it's all logic but for some reason my head doesn't grasp the concept.  I have no clue how I am going to get through this test. I've gotten so overly anxious about it, no one will tell me how they did because it sends me in to a tailspin of panic. The result is, instead of doing the things I am supposed to be doing, like writing up my research paper for class, I am sitting online taking Kaplan's test your brain thing- and panicking.

I feel like I should just take it get it over with and never think about it again.

Time time time time time.

I don't know how people do this. I really don't.
There is so much to do and so little time. This is usually my busiest time of the semester. Midterms seem to coincide with everything else going on in my personal life.  On top of midterms, and all sorts of other things, we're planning our Phi Alpha Theta initiation.
I have 8 half written blog entries just sitting in a folder on my laptop.

Stay tuned. I promise. Over break they will be finished and posted.
