All work and no progress is no fun
Yesterday, I worked all day on economics, and I felt like I accomplished nothing. I kept reading things over and over again and just couldn’t find the answers. I should have worked on the presentation first, but I thought if I got the short answer questions done, that would help me with the presentation. But I don’t know where our tutor gets his questions. It’s definitely not from the books. I had four econ textbooks and three sets of lectures notes and handouts in front of me, and on half the questions, I had to try to find answers on google. So today, I actually do have this race thing, which I’m dreading, and I don’t have the questions or the presentation finished. I don’t know if the questions will get done before 7. I wrote Chris an e-mail and told him that, although technically he said we didn’t have to do the questions. He just recommended it, which of course means I’m going to do them. I’m struggling with the presentation too because it seems like it’s just a bunch of different graphs, not much notes. So I guess that’s what I’ll do.
At 6 last night, I went to meet all the G-town people and administration who were taking us out to dinner, president, two VPs, and Dr. Hadaway. It was a good dinner, but lots of the talk was about promoting G-town and then at the end there was a little drama between the guys and girls because the guys called a cab before we were out of the bathroom and then Jennifer left her camera inside and couldn’t find it, so we were waiting in the cab and the tab was running up while we waited for Jennifer. So we all went to Stanley Road, and Jennifer vented to me and we talked a bunch. At the end of the night, she walked back with me to Regent’s because she said she didn’t feel like being social. She brought her bike so she could ride it back. So it was nice to have company. But I didn’t get back until late.
So this morning, I tried to wake up early to get work done on econ. So I’m going into this race with not much sleep and stress about this econ. We’ll see how it goes. None of the girls are confident that we’ll do well at all, so at least we’re all in the same boat (no pun intended). Well I guess I better be getting to church, so then I can head down to the river. Hopefully it won’t take long and I’ll still get back here in time to finish my presentation.
