Academic Boot Camp

*stretch*yawn*

Ahh time for a break.

I've got a 5 page minimum (so of course I need to write at least six ^_~) research paper due Friday. That's what I've been working on for the last few days. I spent hours searching for sources because I needed five... so far I've only got four so I have no idea what I'm going to do about that. Then I finally made a tentative outline, and now I've started my rough draft. It's up to a little over three pages now. Oh, my topic is "The uses and dangers of artificial sweeteners". It's actually kind of interesting. Although I wish I could have done it on something pertaining to history or art or literature or philosophy... but since my major is Food Science and Nutrition, I suppose it's only natural that I have to write papers on things pertaining to food.

I also have a test tomorrow in my consumer education class, that I'm not 100% prepared for, but that I have every confidence in receiving at least a B in as long as I put some effort into it.

I've allowed my grades to slip a bit over the last two months, so now I really need to apply myself. I'm hoping that the new-found discipline techniques that I've required will allow me to discontinue that procrastinating habit and make even better grades in the following semesters.

I'm skipping two midterms today that I'm not prepared for in the desperate hope that my professors will allow me to take them tomorrow.
What the hell is going on with me?

Sorry. I've been so caught up in all the stuff I have to do.

*sigh* It's not nearly good enough. I'm going to have to start staying up a lot later to study if this is the best I can manage.
