Free Write-Semester Check-in

At this point, I am VERY stressed, at least with my work load. This week alone I have three exams and a five page paper due. Next week I have two lab practicals. The following week is finals! I'm coming down to the end of the semester, finally, but hitting some obstacles I thought I wouldn't find as hard to deal with. What's working for me though is where I choose to study. I study in the library and when I need to get work done, I am able to.

On top of the work load, though, I found out that one of my good friends here is trying to transfer to another school. I'm definitely going to miss them and feel like I have nothing to do when they aren't here.

Other than that, things are starting to look good for the end of the semester. I will be good to get a month break once Christmas comes, though. Just to be able to stay at my own home in my own bed.
