When will I learn?

So not alot has happened with me these past few days... just ALOT of homework. So I definetly did it again... procrastinated a ridiculusly ahrd 40page paper until the week before it was do. I mean I didn't mean too do that... I started it back in March and then I def forgot about it until last weekend when I realized it was due... three days after another 10page paper and the day before my huge presentation for one of my classes. So I've spent the greater portion of the last 5 days doing homework nonstop! If any of you remember last year at this time I had procrastinated my clinical research paper which was also 40 pages? You think that would have taught me something... apparently not. I spent 9 straight hours on saturday doing the stupid paper. My teacher told me on Thrusday when I met with her that I could have an extension if I wanted for 2 days because she had given out a few... but let's face it... the extension would have just caused me to procrastinate more so I didn't take it... but after the 9hour cram session it's done and it's a damn good paper!

Then onward to my presentation... now this was on the Assistive Technology Act of 1998 and basically I had to design two presentations... one for a room full of health care professionals full of information and technical terms and all that good stuff and then one for a room full of clients and family who need to know how it affects them. Now I worked on this sunday night and monday afternoon as it was due today actually.... and let me tell you... don't read a government document at 10:30pm at night... it just doesn't make much sense. So sunday night I read the entire proposed act to congress (which is a law now) and designed both my presentations and went to bed. On monday I decided to make a brouchure for the client centered presentation so that I could hand out to my "clients" or my classmates instead of copies of the powerpoint. So I spent probably an additional 2hours designing this stupid brouchure... which again is quite awesome if I can say so... and in this process decided to rework my powerpoint to make it better and much improved. I saved both presentations on my flash drive (or so i thought) and then headed off to work 45mins late (which was fine, I warned the family of this possiablity on friday). This morning I woke up and gave a practice run for my presentation so I could further work out what I wanted to say and everything was good so off to class I went... now when I got to class I started with the health care professional presentation and I started off quite shaky... I was mixing up dates and VERY nervous but then I just tole myself that I was in my room giving it to the wall and I was almost done. After that I was much better... I made eye contact and I was able to remember everything I wanted to say which never happens and I would have to say I did a very good job (for myself at least). Then I brought up the client centered slide... passed out my brouchure and moved on from the title screen.... and then it hit me... this wasn't the new powerpoint I did... it was the orginal, not the way I practiced it or the way I wanted to do it. After freexing for probably 30secs I proceeded on alittle shocken up and VERY confused because I saved it on my flash drive I know I did. Afterwards I revealed to my teacher what happened and she laughed at me but said that I had covered VERY well.... so hopefully I did good. It's too bad that I was late to work redoing something that I didn't even use. Grrrr.... my computer hates me.

But now my large assignments are done except for one which I hopefully plan to start tomorrow and the semester is winding down. It's exciting!! I'm almost a college graduate!! Not that I will actually be done with school but I'm still wicked excited. My fieldwork is scaring me though... majorly. And now I'm faced with the decision on trying to move my fieldwork up a week so that I'm done a week early and able to go to New Hampshire with my Remsen family for a week... I really want to go because the money is amazing (and very much needed), it's a paid vacation in a cabin on a lake! And they really need the help... my problem is I really don't want my fieldwork to start any earlier then it is and I will miss George too much... I also think that he doesn't want me to go but he hasn't told me that in those words yet... he just refuses to talk about it. Boys... grrrr.... gotta decide in like the next day though so I can call Heritage and ask...

Anyways... off to bed. Thanks for reading my rant!
