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!!!
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."
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...
