If I get a B on this midterm..

I would be happy.

Honestly, I'm surprised that I even have this spat of motivation. Honestly. I am not a fan of pulling all nighters, yet this history midterm compels me to try as hard as I possibly can.

Listen, I am giving up sleep for THIS. FOR THIS! I cannot believe I am changing my habits - I am finally caring, once again. This is a good thing. Maybe if all my grades take a nice boost, I'll be able to study abroad at Saint Andrews...or maybe somewhere in London. Who knows.

I have such a busy day, it kind of scares me. This day is my "I'm spreading too thin" of a day. It's not my fault. I have class until 8:40, then work until noon. Then I have my internship until 5pm, then Women's Choir until 7:30, then TWLOHA until maybe tenish. I could possibly call my supervisor and ask if I could just work from home since I DO NOT want to fall asleep in my own office. (With my mood lighting, I might end up doing so.)


I cannot wait until Spring Break. I have major stuff that's due this week and when Saturday comes, I'll be halfway done. (Next Wednesday, I have a major presentation due as well as a history analysis. No biggie.) But the days before Spring Break are going to be exciting. I applied to be an RA again. The sole reason why I didn't get it (I got an alternate spot) was because they wanted to "Spread the Wealth." I had a lot of leadership positions already, they rather give it to others who want to be more involved. Which I totally understand, but I was completely bummed. Last year, everyone was telling me I would make it. I had such high hopes. This time, I'm kind of going in with a "I get it, I get it. If not, I still have this awesome room" mentality.

Then Student Trustee elections are this week (and somewhat of next too.) I'm excited for the candidates and the election in general. I like how this election is going. I am pretty  much on top of everything (I still have to do a little bit more marketing, but that can be done in a jiffy.) Other than that, I already have the Meet & Greet planned out, the election template, the emails...It's great.

I'm nearly ahead of schedule as far as projects go. After TWLOHA, I need to come up with interview questions on Shostakovich. (This is for my Art of Music class.) I am not going to kill myself over this, because no matter what, I think I can do a good grade due to my creativity. So I'm not worried. The only thing I have to worry about is my Chinese "Art" and "Culture" projects. The final draft of our political criticism paper is due on Thursday, while our presentation is next Wednesday. I am going to plan ahead and try to work on the presentation this week.

For Spring Break, I would like to NOT worry about projects and papers. I know I have a European Politics paper due AFTER break, but I am going to get started on it before it. When Spring Break comes, I cannot wait to relax. But for now, I have to keep on being motivated and work my ass on everything I do. I slacked off last semester because I was utterly discouraged. Now, I feel like I am obliged to work hard. I am usually a hard worker, but when I become discouraged, that really affects the work I do.

Let's make this semester a spectacular one!
