The title is totally unrelated to the assignment, but I am currently sitting and listening to recordings of poetry on Youtube/the BBC... I love the poetry of Keats and Shelley with a passion, and I plan to buy a book of it soon (perhaps also an audio recording? it is soothing to listen to).
I think that, overall, I have managed my time efficiently--all of my assignment's have been handed in on time, and I have maintained good grades. I admit that while the semester is drawing to a close I have become less and less motivated, and yet the assignments seem to be getting piled on top of each other one after another, as if the professors/instructors expect me to be as eager as I was in the beginning of the semester. False.
If life were ideal, I suppose not much would change because I do have a lot of free time, but in that free time I often feel stressed because I know that I have plenty of assignments still to do/coming. It should be made known to professors that students have more than just one class per semester to deal with! Some of them don't seem to recognize this.
I suppose there is not much I could do to change this, considering the assignments I am given are not assigned by me. Therefore, I am going to push through the next few weeks, even if it means assignments completed at the last minute. Today and tomorrow are going to be very stressful, but I hope that, after these days, I can relax in some form and not worry, but this will probably not be the case. Oh well. This time in two weeks I will be home!! That is motivation enough.
Yes well, I suppose this will be another short blog since I ought to soon go to bed since I have a 9:30 class tomorrow.
Adieu! adieu! thy plaintive anthem fades
Past the near meadows, over the still stream,
Up the hill-side; and now 'tis buried deep
In the next valley-glades:
Was it a vision, or a waking dream?
Fled is that music:--Do I wake or sleep?
- John Keats, Ode to a Nightingale
Adieu! =] (I wish I were a great poet! It's an obsession.)
