Done With School, Now Oh So Lazy

Finally completed my first year of college. The final exams for the most part were pretty easy, except accounting which I wanted to throw up before and after while taking it. Now since I have tons of free time on my hands, I can finally get to working on TYSIC some more. Too be completely honest I finished school May 15th, but I've been so lazy that I haven't even updated this thing yet.

So far my first week at home hasn't exactly been stress free. My mom had to go to the hospital (which is about 30 minutes away by car) with my sister for her last session of chemotherapy. So I have been responsible for waking up my other sister at 6 am and get her ready for school. I didn't even wake up at 6 am while I was in school. I also had to babysit my neighbors two year old daughter.

Right now, I'm hoping to start writing and reading. But of course I might just decide to be lazy and watch tv. I have missed the past 3 Doctor Who episodes and also the Lost finale is tomorrow and I feel like I may just make that a whole days event

Still No Progress

School has completely pushed everything aside for now. So basically at week 7 I have nothing to show for it really. I did actually walk out of my comfort zone this past week. I walked about 3 miles to wear there are always loads of people and places to shop. I was only there because I needed to go the post office, but still it was a big step. Of course I did get lost, but I kinda expected that. I'm not exactly good at directions and the fact that I rarely go out doesn't help.

Anyways for now it is all about final exams and the exams before then. It sucks but I always tell myself to make a schedule and I always end up breaking it. I should really put DO NOT PROCRASTINATE as part of my TYSIC, but that's one bad habit that I know can't be broken

Oh well, I'm going to list my last exams on here to remind myself how quickly the next couple of weeks will go by.

May 7th: Theater Paper (On Henry V)
May 7th: Accounting Exam, 7 pm- 9 pm (Cannot afford to fail)
May 10th: Credo 4 (On The Sunflower by Simon Wiesenthal)
May 11th: Psychology Exam, 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm (Allowed one cheat sheet, only front)
May 14th: History of Ancient Greece Exam, 4 pm - 6pm (From the Peloponnesian War to 4th century)

May 14th: Freedom, 6:01 pm - Onwards

The End is Approaching

Of my first year of college anyways, this is still only the end of week 6 of TYSIC, I'm not giving up yet. My last final is on the 14th of May. Needless to say I'm completely dreading it. With the unpredictability of my computer I don't see how I'm going to be able to write two 15 page papers and one 10 page paper in the next four weeks. Hopefully, it won't betray me till school is over.

This may not seem TYSIC related, but it is given that one of my goals is to have a degree in business, specifically I'd love to work in international business, and I'm interested in marketing and advertising. However, I'm really having trouble with one business course this semester. I absolutely hate accounting. It sucks that it is required for all freshmen. I took Accounting 101 (financial accounting) in the Fall and I also thought I would fail, however we had stuff like participation points, and a couple case studies that brought my grade up to a B at the end. However, the class this semester, Accounting 102 (managerial accounting) is all about the exams pretty much. I completely failed my last test and I have no idea if I'll even pass the class. The thing I hate most is that the test was one 4 questions that doesn't exactly give you the best chances. I got partial points on two of them, but I still failed. I just want to get this class over with, even if it is a barely passing grade.

My exam for this class is the May 7th, so I'm going to try to go to every extra session we have in order to try to learn as much as possible during this time. It just makes me feel awful because I was always the "A" student, and while I didn't plan on staying that way in college I still wanted to have good grades. This is the only class I'm doing bad in. Psychology, History of Ancient Greece, Writing, and my Theology class are all fine. The worst part about accounting is that it is killing my desire to be in business. I feel like I have no interest for it right now.
