This is just a rant. This week is going to be absolutely insane. I'm seriously convinced that professors get together, figure out the weeks where a lot of outside stuff is going on and then all assign stuff the week before.

Today I have an exam which has over 300 pages of notes. Wednesday I have a quiz and a keying exercise (keying out insects in class) plus our regular lab plus rehearsal for this play we're doing for the insect festival. Then Thursday is the Arkansas Entomological Society meeting which I did a poster for. Then Friday is the insect festival where I am the swallowtail butterfly in the play for the kids and we do 4 performances that day. Plus sometime this week I have to go into the field. Oh and we're having practice for this game they do at the Entomological Society of America. Plus I have to dissect a bunch of insects to try and be ready to do PCR next week in addition to my weekly meeting with my committee.

Just sucks because certain classes are only offered in one semester every other year so this semester I'm taking 12 credit hours while doing my research. And next semester I have nothing and have to find classes to fill my time with. I wish I could stretch it out.

Moral of my story is.....if my head stays attached this week someone better give me a damn medal.
