It's that time of season here in Chicago. The leaves have left the trees. The temperature has dropped. The days are shorter. And UChicago students huddle down in preparation for finals and midterms.
I, for one, embrace the new weather. It gives me the chance to sit my butt down and get some work done. But the problem is that our professors also think like this. And so we, the students, are left with almost infinite work. Now, it's not that bad. I could stay up all night tonight and tomorrow and the day after and have a chance at getting all my work done, but that won't happen. Instead I'll have to half-ass it because the quarter just goes by too fast.
I really wanted to get in a workout a day. But that just won't happen. I've come up with a pretty good modification that makes it work: every night that I go to sleep before midnight, I'll wake up at 7 for a workout. At this point, that means I won't ever be working out. But I won't feel so bad about it either.
I have to finish this 6 page essay tonight. Then I have a math problem set due Wednesday. Also on Wednesday is a math midterm. Wednesday at midnight I have computer science lab due. Next monday I have a book review due on a book I haven't started yet because I've been working on other assignments. Thankfully the libraries are open late.
