Due to a critical miscalculation on my part, I ended up being thoroughly screwed last night when it came to getting things done.
As of noon yesterday (Sunday), I realized that I needed to A) finish (OK, start) my political science midterm, B) finish (OK, start) my English speech, and C) check on my EE homework to see if anything was due.
The political science midterm was already delayed a full week because I spent the previous week being sick. The assignment was 15 pages of quasidense text on five supplied essay questions.
The speech was 15 minutes (including Q&A, so really only 10 minutes) on a topic of our choosing. It had to be a persuasive speech.
Here's what my schedule looked like, starting at noon Sunday:
- 1200–1600: read background material for PS
- 1600–1630: get more background material from library
- 1630–1800: read more for PS
