It's the Finals Countdown

By this time next week, I should have completed everything for my first semester of graduate school, unless something truly unexpected comes up.  In the past four months, I have had to read over a dozen novels (okay, one might technically be called a novella), about half-a-dozen short stories, and well over one hundred poems.  This doesn't include the lecture materials, articles, extracts, and non-fiction books I had to read to complete all of my assignments.  During this same period, I think I have only read one novel for my own pleasure, and I sped through so fast that I may have skipped some of the more boring parts.  There are at least three books I have been waiting to read, but I haven't had the time to spare, not with all of the required reading, assignments, and the other things I do to pass the time.  I have a backlog of over two weeks of puzzles I have been wanting to solve, but I just didn't have the time or enthusiasm to do so.  Tonight, I will probably take a short test about my researching knowledge, before tackling the big tasks.  I have the first of three theses due this Friday, with the other two next week.  I will also have to tackle my lone (hopefully, the other syllabi didn't mention anything) final test, as long as I can find a three hour block at a location with strong steady wifi to take it.  Strangely enough, the wifi at my store is horrid, at times.  It can take over five minutes just to load Facebook, with another ten minutes or more to start a game.  At home, I really don't have a three hour block that I can take a test comfortably, unless I cut out something minor, like eating or sleeping or cleaning up.  If the test were available on the weekend, I wouldn't have this problem, but it will only be online from Monday through Wednesday.  I am still trying to figure out how to do everything.  At least next semester will be better.  I am currently only taking two classes, one on syntax and an advanced writer's workshop.  None of the other classes even halfway feel suitable.  So, I will go back to writing theses soon. Checking online sources.  Confirming facts.  You know, all that fun type of stuff.  To be honest, I actually like doing that sort of thing, sometimes.  May the blogcast be with you.  I will try to make that a real word, and soon.
