I have one month left of my degree and the pressure is on like I have never felt it before. I spend my days with my eyes half-lidded as I think about everything that I have to do before I’m allowed to graduate. My work is definitely not at its finest, its average at best, and the stress is showing in my skin and my stomach.

*huge sigh*

But there’s just one month left and I need to power through. I have five assignments due on October 23rd and then I have an exam in early November. And then it’s nail-biting until final grades release and if all is well, I will graduate in early December.

I always get confused when I get poor marks on something and the comment is that I didn’t provide enough detail. I never know how to add anything more without going over the word count. I’ve always had an issue with writing succinctly but have worked really hard on it in the past couple of years, and so I’m at a loss at what I should have done better with the word count I was given.

I’ve been having serious focus issues and the timing sucks. I see the doctor on Tuesday for the results of the second-last (hopefully) round of tests. I have been doing some writing though. I finished X and have started writing the sequel. I’ve been working on The Tales of Mylvetta, mostly writing synopses of different stories and then fleshing out scenes from them. But my writing has been pretty garbage, as if I’ve gone back to early fan-fic years before my degree.

It’s time for some tea and cake … although I’ll save having an actual tea party until after my assignments are finished.
