Spanish Papers

I am so frustrated right now!! I have SO many reports, projects, and papers due in the next few weeks before finals and so I've been quite stressed. Yesterday, I was trying to get ahead and work on one of my two huge Spanish culture reports that's due next week. So I got almost all of one of the reports done. Well, in class today the professor said that the reports can be in ENGLISH! He never mentioned this before!! I spent so much time on that report and now I have to redo the whole thing because he said that although we can turn it in in Spanish, he will still count of for grammatical errors, which of course there would be several since it is not my native language and there would be very few if any if I had written it in English. Grr!

On the bright side, at least now I don't have to worry as much about the other report. It should take only a few hours to do since it's in English and I'll have more time to focus on other projects.

Okay, I just wanted to get that out. I'm so glad to have 4wt to come to when I need a break from my work or when I need to vent. Thanks for being such awesome ladies!

Hey, could you go tell my professor that I have an A? lol. Maybe you'd have some pull with him since you have something in common. He was born and lived in Africa for most of his life...but it was not close to S. Africa. lol.

I'm finished with one of the papers! Woot woot! Only one more for Spanish and then an even bigger one for Policy, an oral presentation, an oral exit exam, a collage, and a huge semester long project that I have to wrap up.

Only two more weeks... *sighs*

I sure hope so. It's hard to keep the end result in mind when things are so overwhelming in the present. I just have to keep telling myself that there are only two more weeks and then a nice long break...

I feel at least a little productive today. I finished both of my Spanish Culture reports with the exception of one paragraph each which I will most likely write tomorrow. I like to sleep before I finish a paper that way I have a fresh outlook on it and maybe a better approach, but hopefully I'll finish them both tomorrow. I couldn't find the kind of poster board I wanted for my collage but I got all of the pictures I needed and glued the backgrounds onto them. So not much left to do for that project either. The rest, I'm too intimidated to start right now, but hopefully I'll be as productive tomorrow as I have been today...

Thanks for the encouragement. It really does help!
