You people must all be out having fun on this lovely Saturday. I am stuck inside researching for 3 awful papers I have to write. My only salvation? Coming here to read the boards every once and a while.
Unfortunately, you people aren't here posting for my amusement!!!
I need something to do other than my school work and I've already gone over the entire forum.
So, I guess I'll talk about my work.
April has been a hell month for me. I have a total of 60 pages for 6 papers to write. I think I want to write them all down just to see their awesomeness
Paper #1: Military Statecraft: Analyze the Iran nuclear case and provide policy prescriptions. 5 pages...done
Paper #2: Globilization and the market from my readings. 5 pages...done
Paper #3: Environmental global governance. 20 page research paper...finish tomorrow
Paper #4: Policy Analysis: US intervention in El Salvador in the 70s. 10 page research paper...done
Paper #5: Finance and Trade: US-China trade relations and why it isn't a bad thing. 10 pages...done
Paper #6: Globalization and Outsourcing: Why outsourcing is good for the US. 10 pages...done
I've known about #3 and #4 all semester so it's my fault for procrastinating. #5 and #6 were given to me last Monday and I had until today to do them both. I have to say that I was so releaved when I turned them in!
Tonight, I will be writing my oral presentation for #4 and tommorow I'll finish the last 3 pages of #3...then it's summertime!
Summer will be busy too. I didn't manage to find an internship because no one thinks I'm good enough, so I need to find a job. In addition, I'm going to be applying to the Presidential Managemenr Fellowship. Cross your fingers here people!
School is amazing and mindblowing but I'll be excited when it's over next year. But, then I fear finding a job.
Anyways, school's on the brain so I must get back to work! I have a bottle of wine calling me...
Well, maybe not...that's a case of shock advertising for ya!
Last week Thursday-ish I developed chest pains, like I had been screaming for hours and my throat was raw. I wish my life was that exciting . It was accompanied by minor blah cold symptoms, but were easily forgotten and gone within 3 days. However, my cough is still here and is getting worse. It's a dry cough and I can't do anything about it. Cough drops, medicine, and liquids just don't seem to help. I blame moving to NJ with all its deciduous trees.
Anyways, I still prepared myself with these defense mechanisms for my evening international political economy class. Just as it was getting started, I was seized with an uncontrollable coughing fit. I'm not kidding you, I must have beet red, my eyes were streaming the tears as I desperately tried to make it stop. Class was stopped so everyone could stare at me...so embarrassing. Single-handedly the most out of control coughing fit I have ever had (and I've had nmeumonia and mono)
I spent the next 20 mins convulsing as the coughs tried coming up while I fought to keep them down. I must have looked so silly.
Cut to the end of the class where I'm walking out with the professor and she says to me, "you were quiet in class today."
...ummmm...
