I think I really bit off more than I can chew this quarter. I'm losing my mind and there's 4 more weeks to go. And to think that last year I was all patronizing to you guys in SMU with your crazy law schedules. My various current preoccupations:
1) Chaucer Class - Middle English is a different frickin' language!
2) Art History Class - so much reading!
3) Italian Class - homework every day!
4) Kafka Class - she wants us to write a story in Kafka's style and I don't know how to write stories!
5) Staffing sneaks for CEC - 3 hours every Tuesday/Friday!
6) Booking movies for CEC - emailing Magnolia Pictures and Relativity Media as we speak!
7) Finding sponsors for CEC's Shorttakes Film Festival - meeting every Wednesday night at 10pm to draft letters to Panasonic and Apple!
8) Running the Art Club - working on my piece and trying to market the club with posters & flyers and looking for a meeting space!
9) Looking for Apartments and Roommates for next year - have to be very careful here!
10) Applying for jobs - 8-page application form to be a tutor!
11) Looking for Internships for Summer - very restricted options as an international student!
12) Applying for next quarter's classes - need to write a 10 page story sample to get into Creative Writing (luckily this could tie into number 4)!
13) Taking Driving Lessons in April - scared shitless!
14) Making arrangement for Spring Break - Seattle? Portland? Where should I go?
15) Sightseeing with Relatives - in the midst of this madness! Just trying to be polite!
16) Dealing with Roommate Tension - this is the worst of all.
And so on. I think I could handle 5 or maybe 10 of those things, but all of them at the same time is just... just... well, you know. My mind is too tired to come up with a good word. The worst part is that I wish I could really do justice to any of those things individually. They are all awesome and rewarding and potentially superfun things. Well except for the last one. But as much as I'd like to, I'm constantly distracted by evvvvverything else, so in the end I don't do ANYTHING well. And I feel bad for wasting time complaining and blogging but goddamn it, girl's gotta have some kind of outlet, doesn't she?!
Ahhh Kelly huggg. Looking at your college schedule I get what you mean- suddenly this second half of term seems like a whole lot to take in and think about. But I don't have as many things to do handle as you- gosh you have SO MANY Things!! Just three more months of living with your roomate ... time WILL fly! I'm thinking of applying to summer school at NYU to do cinema studies- the courses look so so so interesting!!! But I'll only go for summer school of things don't work out with regards to working in London over the month of June/July. I've also got to think about my dissertation title (submit a proposal by May) and then I've got to wirte my coursework for brit lit, the usual amount of class readings, presentations, summer internships in London and home and I really should be revising German more often (have an exam in a few weeks!). I have decided that getting my license shall be put on hiatus; I can't afford to spend another $1000 trying to learn it again for a third consecutive summer haha. Maybe i'm not fated to drive. But I'm sure you are!!
ReplyDeleteYou're gonna be in NY this summer too?! IF YOU ARE, WE MUST MEET UP IN JUNE.
ReplyDeleteHang in there, Kelly! Life's not all that great in Singapore either. But we'll all get through!
