Christmas Is Coming!!! - buuuuut school is too

As School is coming to a close as Christmas approaches times are getting busier and plans for the holiday are beginning to set.  First, I have nearly 5 weeks of break over Christmas!  Which is Amazing, especially compared to high school.     So, on Thursday, December 14 I will be flying out of Bloomington, Illinois to Atlanta, Georgia and then from Atlanta to Austin, Texas.  I will then spend just a tad over a week in Texas with my mom and dad and Jonathan and Abi.   Then I will drive back with my dad and siblings to Illinois just before Christmas.  

But before all that happens I have a busy week, or so I thought.  Going into this past weekend I sat down and calculated about how much time I expected of homework over the next week.   This is the last "week" of school, next week is finals.  However I won't be here for finals next week as I don't have any finials to take in class - I have two-ish (not really finals, but rather end of the semester tests) and they are online over the weekend before.  Anyways I estimated about 21 hours of work. Now with not having a computer most of that has to be done at school.  I was able to get a good chuck done on my phone (which I am very grateful for) though it was quite a bit more of an inconvenience. This morning (Monday, December 4th) I had planned to come to school for 9am.  Thankfully, praise God, that worked out.   I don't have any classes on Monday until 6pm.   I've spent the entire day here working on getting assignments done.  I knocked the estimated 21 hours down to an estimated 1.5 hours.  And I am proud to say that I got a lot more done than I expected.  Though I'd have to say as I sped up with the quantity of work that was done, the quality of the work dropped.   Yet, 6 papers and over a chapter of online reading, quizzes and assignments later, I am glad to be done with it all.  

Oh and I was suppose to give a speech on Wednesday in Biology on Nutrition and Diabetes Type 2, but I asked the teacher if I could do it tonight instead (so I can get it over with and that I can go to church on Wednesday night) and he let me.  So I will be doing my speech tonight!  

Thank you God for the productive day and all that you have blessed me with, I am truly blessed!

  1. Hope and pray your speech goes well tonight!
    Happy for you to get so much homework done already. :-)

    And I love how you prayed that the ISU concert would be for God's glory, even if it wasn't intended to be so.
