schoolwork

I love school. I hate the dread that I feel when due dates are approaching. During my undergraduate career I would just pull all nighters or work all hours of the day to get my projects completed on time. Now, I do not have that luxury. I have the hours after the girls go to bed to get the research, reading, and paper writing necessary for my classes completed. Last night I tried to write my 8 page paper due on Thursday. I have certainly written longer papers, but my professor did not introduce a "point" for this paper, therfore I had difficulties coming up with a direction to go with the research. I get so nervous about these assignments that I give myself headaches and then end up having to go to bed....this is something that I need to work on. Last night, I overdid it with coffee to try to relive my old undergraduate days, and I end up writing to bulk of the paper today...ugh!
Maybe by the time I earn my masters I will have a system down for getting everything done without a high level of stress....
