Crisis Averted, All is Good

“The man who smiles when things go wrong has thought of someone to blame it on.”
- Robert Bloch

I thought for sure when I woke up late (8:27 AM) that I wasn't going to be able to finish my bridge project for Design and Society. Not only did I miss my morning class (Japanese 101) but my alarm didn't go off when it was supposed to. If I wasn't naturally a morning person, I could have very well missed class entirely. I got off my butt and started my oatmeal water, but after that it was crazy. I finished the bridge at about 8:50 AM. It was really close though in my mind. I wasn't sure how much time it would take me to finish the bridge, but even though I slept in I barely got two hours of sleep. The night before when I did a bunch of work on the bridge I was going off of four hours of sleep. I really need to stop doing that.

Hopefully my study group still meets up today even though I wasn't in class. I'm also hoping that they were in class today and can tell me what went down. With the written final tomorrow, I'm cutting it close. Tonight I should study at least an hours worth on grammar and カタカナ. My participation grade isn't as good as it could be. Last I checked it was just under an A, so a high B. Plus they will factor in my quizzes and my finals. I'm nervous about this.

Not to mention I have to put together my art portfolio and finish up my sketchbook for my Intro to Drawing class. Oh, and critic my final in class tomorrow for Art as well. I'm fairly confident I'm getting an A in that class, and an A in Design and Society. I won't be ashamed though if I get less than that. My eldest brother Jimmy has gotten B's before in college and he's always been smarter and better than me.

Well it's almost time for me to head off to my study group. I'm hoping that I can convince them to meet on Friday, Saturday and Sunday as well for final prep studying (our oral exam). Also I need to chose my partner for the final, and I think I'll get stuck with Hannah Hector, who has a bit of a speech problem. I love that girl, but she isn't so great on speaking. She's shy to boot which makes it hard to perform in front of others. I'll help her as best as I can. I want her to do well.
