Spring quarter has been absolutely insane so far. I thought that only taking three classes (Arabic, International Economic Relations, and Cognitive Development) plus my two honors theses - 20 units total - would be feasible. News flash: it's not. I've been struggling to get up for my MTWRF 9am classes after a wonderful winter quarter of 11am/12pm start times. I have fewer papers and less reading than last quarter, but a lot more homework to do... and my honors theses are especially draining.
To be honest, I feel like I don't even have the energy for my classes anymore with my hectic work schedule, fraternity life, job hunt for next year, and newly-21 fun... in other words, I have senioritis as a junior. On the plus side, my GPA is fantastic after winter quarter (I miraculously pulled straight As) so I can afford to get an A- or two.
Apart from school stuff:
1. I'm preparing for summer! The Egypt study abroad program got confirmed at the very last minute so I'm definitely going. I already booked my plane ticket and I can't wait! Apart from Egypt I'm spending a week in Cabo with my boyfriend's family, which will be amazing.
2. I've been jamming to "I Knew You Were Trouble." I normally don't like any of Taylor Swift's songs, but I can't get enough of this one and its millions of parodies (Gollum is hands down the best)!
3. I'm attempting to prepare for the June LSAT, although I'm having trouble fitting practice tests into my already busy schedule. As long as I A) don't get the flu again! and B) go up a few points from February, I should be good to go... but I still need to study first!
I'm hoping that the rest of the quarter goes a bit more smoothly from here on out. However, midterm season has begun so it's likely things will only get tougher from here. Fingers crossed that my "junioritis" goes away and that I can continue to balance all of my activities this quarter!
