Hey girls!

                I'm so sorry for not having a post for so long. I just got caught up in all of my work and even though you may think that reading week is a break - it DEFINITELY is not. I was doing school work every day and by today I needed to have an assignment submitted and two tests written so it was a little crazy (as usual).

                I think I'm getting back into the regular swing of things now but I'm not in town this weekend so I'm trying to get all of my work done before then (such as a mechanics assignment, a programming assignment, a physics quiz, a physics lab, a math assignment and I also have to start a film essay). It seems like so much when I say it like that so I'm trying my best to stay on top of things but I'm falling behind a little bit. After this weekend is over I'll be spending the next week catching up on everything.

                The two tests I wrote today went pretty well. I think I may have stumbled on a couple little things but hopefully it all works out in the end and I get lots of part marks. I didn't do well on my last physics test (granted almost no one did - there weren't many people who passed from what I saw) so I'm really happy they throw away one of our tests but also it makes me a little nervous for my upcoming tests. I can't screw up on any of them really since they're all going to count now (and they're only out of 10 points so one mistake really costs you).

                I'm getting to the point (and most of my friends are too) that I just want this year to be over. I'm tired of doing all of this work every week and seeing no end to it. I know the first year is the hardest because they're weeding out everyone that can't make it or doesn't have what it takes to be in university but it's very frustrating when you have next to no free time and all you do is work. It makes me kind of jealous of the arts students (they have a lot less class hours then I do) since they have so much free time. I just keep telling myself that in a month and a half the learning is over and in two months I'm all done for the year but two months has never seemed longer. I'm not the only one feeling this way but it's very easy to get overwhelmed when you have a minimum of a quiz, 2 assignments and either 2 tests or a lab and an extra assignment due weekly.  The only good thing about feeling so down and overwhelmed as I am now is that it can only go up. All I can really do now is keep working and wait for that up. Let me know if you have any questions!
