Stress

So this past week has been really stressful.  I decided that I wanted to start reading a book, which probably wasn't the best idea.  I love this book and have the hardest time stopping, so of course, I haven't been doing my homework until the very last minute.  I had to study for a test for seven hours last night because I have been reading this book all week long. I really need to stop procrastinating. It would really help me manage my stress...but at the same time, I feel like I do my best work when I procrastinate. It's a really complicated situation. Overall this semester hasn't been too bad, which I'm very thankful for. I'm really looking forward to next semester...no chemistry...fewer early morning classes...psychology classes :-) I'm pretty excited.

Random

So...I don't know if we were supposed to post this week, but I figured I would because first of all, I don't want to take the chance of not getting the points, and second of all, I have nothing better to do. This hasn't been the best of weeks.  I had food poisoning on Monday.  On Tuesday, one of my roommates had some boyfriend issues. On Wednesday, I got a little frustrated with my room situation.  I almost yelled at one of my roommates, which under most circumstances I don't normally do.  I don't really like yelling.  It makes me feel like a bad person.  If I ever yell at someone, regardless of what the person has done, I have to stop myself from breaking into tears.  It breaks my heart to see someone upset because of something I did or said. I don't know...maybe I'm just weird.

Research Paper

So I found the rough draft of my research paper fairly easy to write.  Going through and finding information to use in the paper was harder.  I had to figure out how to incorporate it into the paper and be able to expand upon each idea.  I started out with an outline.  I always find it much easier to write a paper if I have an outline to work with.  I know where I'm putting information and can add things without completely messing up my paper.  It took me forever to figure out how to do a bibliography in APA style.  I've never done it before.  I think that my final draft will be pretty good.  I have some things to fix, but for the most part it looks decent.

By the way, when I was driving home, I saw a kid's shoe on the side of the road. It was a little strange.
