Break is only about a week ahead and I feel like I’m drowning here.  Teachers just love to pile things up into a big mountain of poo just for me to climb up and stick my face in it!  My eyes are dilating tremendously, my hair has turned into a complete S.O.S. pad, and my social life is dust.  Thanks guys, I always love it when you throw it all at us at once.  Must be a popular subject during your meetings, “How will we stick it to ‘em this year?”  Oh, did I forget to mention Christmas?  OOops, haven’t put the tree up yet.   It is amazing how this transformation occurs to me as a student.  Summer, my house is clean as a whistle, dinner is served three times a day, and I sleep maybe 6 hours a night.  This semester, well, my house could be cleaner, A LOT cleaner.  Dinner is served at Mickey D’s and I still sleep about 6 hours a night, yet the stress keeps me up late, so maybe only 3 hours a night.  Yeah, I’m really looking forward to Christmas break, that way I can get my tree up and maybe a bit more sleep.
