End of NaNo, End of the Quarter

Today is the last day of NaNoWriMo. I have less than 25,000 words. Let's just say this was not my year. I've completely failed to keep my blog updated, but I think that's alright considering the people whose blogs I read, and actually have readers also did not update their readers. So I feel less bad about this.

Not only is NaNo ending, but so is the fall quarter at my school. I think I managed to scrape by with passing grades in at least two of my classes. The third one I'm not so sure about, but I'm working on an assignment for that right now that will hopefully help to bring (or keep) that grade up.

I don't have any finals during finals week, so I'll be able to leave early for winter break. I'll probably go home Wednesday of next week on a train with another girl who lives near me.

My final project for my writing class is really exciting. I get to make a video for YouTube. I've already filmed part of it, and I should start editing in case I need to re-film stuff, just because I want to make sure it's good. Yay for making videos again! That was something I also didn't really do this month. Heh heh...

Stressed free write (again?)

I feel like my brain broke. I feel like I can’t concentrate on anything and I am so overwhelmed with everything I need to do and know and I don’t think I can handle it. I need to find some way to deal with all this but I don’t have the time or the courage to ask people about it and I hafjha;jahjajhsjasjlfjl. I just need to do some button-mashing for now and save the fixing for later. I need to write a class blog entry on something that I don’t understand, and I need to write a presentation on something I don’t understand, and I need to write two papers on more things I don’t understand and I feel like the only class I even know where to begin with anything in is crew. That I’m getting pretty well, but I’m afraid that I’ll have so much to do for that that I won’t have time for anything else. Ahhh!

I just need to stay positive. It’ll all work out in the end. If I just keep persevering and work at it little by little, I can do this. Okay, yeah, I can do this. I don’t need to make A’s all the time anymore; it is okay if I have less. I would like to get at least a B in writing, though, so I can take fiction or poetry instead of 39C. But I can handle 39C if I have to. It will all be okay. I just need to believe and keep working, and it will all be okay.

Fully Immersed in the NaNo

Today is November 7th, exactly one week after the beginning of NaNoWriMo. At this very moment, I have 11,029 words and the start of a very strange story. But that's alright, because NaNo is really more about quantity than quality. I'm starting to feel the pressure to complete my recommended word count every day, especially with assignments starting to pile up and be due, and I have so many things I would rather do than homework. And my crew hours for Threepenny Opera have started, so now I'll have even less free time. Oh well.

I have an essay that I need to start for my writing class, and I have a presentation for a group project due on Tuesday that I haven't even started research for yet. I also need to write an essay for my acting class, and I'm still not sure what the essay is supposed to be about, besides The Laramie Project (what about Laramie, is my question).

In addition to these I need to apply for housing next year and register for my classes next quarter. Oh the joys of being a college student. Bleh.

I'm sure I'll figure it all out in time. I hope.
