Life Updates…(I’m 20!!!)

Life updates! Um, somehow the last time I wrote on here was September 27th. As I said, we’re about to change that!

1. The first update I couldn’t help but put in the title because I feel like it’s hands down just the biggest (and surprising, I guess, if you can call an annual day, a birthday, surprising ((because the other things, like stress, are un-surprising life updates)). But, I’m (somehow) 20!!!

2. Also am hella stressed right now, which is probably why it has taken me so long to write. Aka, why it has been such a long time since I have written. I HAVE NO TIME. It’s like last semester all over again.

3. And so, my birthday, was actually not such a good day. Like it was a good day, in terms of some things, and straight-up awful in terms of others, like how I had lab AND an exam (so had to skip dinner). I was so tired by the point of lab. I could barely function during my exam, and it didn’t help that for some reason it was like a sauna in the basement of that building, like a million degrees.

4. And it has gotten slightly worse. First of all, I’ve had MULTIPLE MULTIPLE bad weekends and we’re only 6 weeks in, we’re only about halfway through the semester, so a few weekends, is basically like all of them, you could say at this point.

5. This week I have both a chemistry quiz and a physics exam. And I’m terrified, especially for the physics exam.

6. Last weekend, I literally had to read Dostoevsky for 11 hours straight…But, at least, now I am done with Crime and Punishment! And I did it all in Russian! So that’s an accomplishment! Did those 700+ pages in Russian, in the original, in about a month…or 3 weeks? I can’t keep track anymore. It wasn’t easy, in combination with my STEM classes (the other three). ALSO MY 14 CREDITS ARE A LIE, clearly. It’s funny how even last semester, my credits said 17, but literally on the first day of classes, my statics professor said the class was more 5 than 3 credits, so 19. This semester says 14, but it’s just as bad as last semester, if not worse. It’s actually worse if I’m being honest. The weekends are worse. I only had like one bad weekend last semester or something. Maybe a few. But now it’s almost like every weekend, besides one amazing one maybe I’ll write about next. And keep in mind, for comparison, that last semester, I had like 30+ assignments due each week, but this semester, I have like maybe 6 due each week. I maybe only had 6 last semester the last and first week of classes. But just because I don’t have as many actual assignments to submit for points to be graded, does not mean ANYTHING, clearly, because I still have to put so much time effort into these classes.
