I don't know why I am writing this. I should be sitting at my computer and doing the homework that is due in the next week, but I had something on my mind. This next week is dead week and I feel like I am drowning in a sea of stress. I have two finals in the next week and I have to finish four assignments and I am panicking. I do this every year and I still do not have a handle on it. I don't think that I ever will have a handle on it. Dead week is literally dead week. I am tired and I need this semester to be over. I am taking 8 classes this semester. It is a total of 18 hours and I don't know why I did that. Why did I push myself to the breaking point? I know why. I knew I could do it. Deep down I know that I can finish this semester out strong. I am strong. I am smart. We can all do anything that we set our minds to as long as we have the ambition and strive to do it. Yes, I am stressed, but I am going to take that stress and turn it into motivation for me to do well in these next two weeks, because I can.
