Week 4

I'm nearly a third of the way done with school. Today is the beginning of week 4. Thursday is the end. I love my four-day weekends! I just wish I could do something besides homework. I checked over my TO-DO list yesterday and found that I had an essay, due on Thursday, that I'd completly forgotten about. So I had to add that as well as two chapters reading in preparation for it, to my mental schedule for the day. Of course, it took most of the rest of the day, but I got a viable rough draft out of it. My plan is to work on it again tonight before submitting it to turnitin.com tomorrow. Otherwise, I got through everything except reading the nearly 200 pages assigned in my art class. I made a good stab at it! I divided up my time for my honors projects. I plan to have them done by the fourth weekend in October, which gives me two weeks for each project. The first one is a paper on Shakespeare's MacBeth, the second is a research paper and presentation on the Missouri Compromise (if I get it approved) and the third is an annotated bibliography and research paper on American Indian mythology. Dividing them up into weeks helps me to focus on each. I'm still praying (literally!) that I make it through!

Even though I spent most of my time on homework, I did spend some time with Britta. On Saturday we went shopping at Target for towels for my bathroom and came home with a Halloween lantern and two scull candlesticks for my decorations. I'm thinking of having Halloween party for Garrett and Spencer and their friends. Our ward is having a party on Friday night. I really don't have time to throw as big of a party as I did last year, so this should work out well. I can re-use the decorations in the same way as last year for the party this year! (I almost feel like I'm cheating--must be the influences of school!)
