It's been a busy week. I scrambled to write an extra credit essay for my government class, spent every extra moment on it right up to an hour after work yesterday (30 minutes before the class was to begin) when I reread the directions for what seemed like the tenth time and realized it was all wrong. So, I finished the paper up, stapled it and raced to school (I was late) and turned it in anyway. Maybe the professor will give me some sort of credit, maybe not. He's totally being fair if he doesn't, but that childish part of me won't let go of the hope that he may be generous.

So yet again my weekend will be spent studying for an exam. I have to work Saturday, also. It's amazing how the joy and relaxation you feel during a vacation fade so quickly the moment you return to real life.
