Wednesday Words: Deadlines around the corner

This is what my next couple of months look like, so … farewell, “free” time! ๐Ÿ™‚

I am pacing myself on the two individual term papers that I have to write, so I set weekly deadlines to keep me on track with various sections. Plus, it’s a mind trick to tell myself that I “only” have to write five or six pages this week! It breaks down a 20-30 pg paper into reasonable chunks.

I also have a PowerPoint presentation (based on one of the papers) to create, so I’m going to work on it in bits & pieces along the way.

There is also a group term paper for one class, and I am trying to wrangle the team this week so that we can parcel out the sections. I haven’t even added that to the calendar yet, but my part should only be 5-6 pages, so that’s manageable.

The last (and very exciting!) assignment is the draft portfolio that I mentioned last week. It’s a huge undertaking that I spent most of February working on (and I’m almost finished – woohoo!), but now, I have to turn my attention to the lengthy papers.

The good news is that since I will have the portfolio finished soon, then once I complete the term papers, I’ll basically be finished with the semester the last week of April! Yippee! That’ll give me a nice, long break before the summer term begins.

  1. GIrl…I do not know how you do it! I can barely keep my head on straight being a stay-at-home mom, sometimes flight attendant with 3 kids in school all day. Stop it! You’re making the rest of us look bad! ๐Ÿ™‚

  2. Lol – no way I can make you look bad. I don’t have the energy/patience/temper to stay home with the kiddos. I love them, of course, but whew (!) bless their teachers and moms who can stay home.
