As you can guess, I am now much more comfortable with journal articles, know what a research proposal is and was loaded with work.
Today I had an articulation final, an oral presentation and an acoustic project due. I did it all but jeez till the very last minute I was busy. I could only breathe once I gave my artic exam back to the prof. I have to say I’m a bit to blame. I did that project this morning at the last minute. So I woke up early to get to the lab before any other student (in case there were other procrastinators like me and there were), did the lab assignment, ate, sequestered myself to an empty classroom where I revised my artic notes for an hour, then practiced the oral presentation. After that, I ran to the computer lab just one floor above, printed some notes (I decided to make some edits on the oral presentation), made my way to acoustics class where I handed in the lab project along with everyone else and took my turn addressing the class and the professor. Just like many of my classmate who were going on to take the artic final right after, I revised some more while others were presenting (sorry gals, you know how it is), then headed to my last final.
And now I can breathe! I’m going to sleep for days and weeks. I’ll sleep in NY while the not so cold winter does its thing, will sleep on the beach in sunny Haiti (heading there for the holidays, that’s where I grew up!) for the holidays, will probably sleep on the plane coming back to NY until this whole thing starts again. One thing is sure, I’ll definitely make up for the lost sleep.
Note to self: Next semester, do all my work on time. No more procrastinating. I’ll let you guys know how this goes.
