For those of you who've ever seen the movie Twister, you'll know what I'm talking about. Do you remember the part where Helen Hunt and company are driving towards the bigger twister? (don't remember it's category name, I'm not that big of a keener) Anyway as they are driving towards it, you see a cow standing in the pasture eating grass and minding it's own business, and the next thing you know it gets picked up with the greatest of ease and thrown in the chaos to fend for itself. Yeah that's kinda how I feel.

Okay, so maybe the example wasn't the best, but it was the best I could think of off the top of my head especially after a 5 hour nap. Yes that's right, you heard me. It's just been a whirlwind of stuff going on in my life altogether. I'll further elaborate.

The worst part about the recent chaos is the fact that I let it take me by complete surprise. I did not know about any of my scheduling worries until the beginning of this week, which was pretty late. Here's my "To do list" for the next few weeks in the rank of priorities:

1) Study for my accounting midterm which comes the monday after halloween. This really sucks considering I'm kinda lost in what we're doing. And to make matters worse, somehow I've let some of the homework assignment dates slip through my fingers and I wasn't able to hand them in before the deadline. That means an automatic zero for each weekly assignment I miss (which are worth 1% of the course for each assignment). When I look at it, it's pretty ridiculous how I've missed some of these deadlines.

Like today, I decided to take a nap at noon so I could get on track after a sleep deprived night. Struggling with the idea whether to depend on my natural clock or to set my alarm so I don't oversleep, I set the alarm just in case. Hours later, the alarm wakes me up at 3:40, in which I snooze for about 20-30 more minutes. Then when the alarm rings again, I decide to turn it off thinking that I can trust myself to get up. And of course I don't actually get up until 5:30, WAAAY later than I thought I'd be able to sleep until. This is a bad thing, seeing as the deadline was at 5:00 PM, which had totally slipped my mind while I was in bed. So now I'm quietly raging to myself about my stupidity...

2) Study for and make a cheatsheet for my Blaw midterm which is on the same day as the Accounting midterm. Honestly, having 2 exams the day after halloween just blows...

3) Finish my big group project for marketing which is due this Friday. Seriously, this thing has taken much more effort and time than I really thought it would. It just sucks ass because two of my group members have their birthday tonight, and of course would rather not work on the project on the night of their birthdays (understandable). It just feels as if we're cutting it really close to the due date, which I find more and more is a really bad habit for me. The due date is 11:55 PM tomorrow night, so I'm hoping we can piece everything together.

4) Finish my stats assignment for the same Monday my midterms are on. Honestly, how much crap can you pack on one day?

5) To make matters worse, I have a shift scheduled on Halloween, and as well a drama rehearsal for that same day where the director wants me to know my lines. This really really sucks for timing seeing as I have my fricken 2 midterm/assignment day the following day.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg my friends. There's another stats midterm that I write later on next week, and I just also recently realized that the saturday after this week's, there is supposed to be a martial arts tournament that our club is going to. Yet I really doubt I'll be even close to ready as there's no way I'll be able to attend karate for the 3 classes before the tournament, I have work from 8-midnight for the friday before, and I haven't even picked out the pattern that I'll be performing yet. Also that weekend I'm assuming my drama group will be holding at least one thorough drama rehearsal, seeing as we perform the sunday after the tournament.

Yeah to say the least, it's chaos! I think it's not so much that I'm overbooking myself in relation time constraints, but the fact that everything suddenly decided to explode out on that first week of november. I'm hoping that I can cope through these next few weeks as that week has to be worth atleast 25% of my GPA for this semester, if not more. So yeah if I seem on edge for either weeks, you'll know why.
