Well, well. This week was... hectic. I had a make up test for one class, a skit worth a huge portion of my grade for another class, an essay for a third class, and elections for an organization I am part of on campus. I honestly did not think this week would end soon enough, but here I am, on a Sunday, done. Done with all that craze. The best part is that I aced both my skit and test... don't know how the essay went... but I got elected for the position I ran for as well. I'm currently feeling pretty good about myself. This feeling of accomplishment will probably die off soon because I have many more crazy weeks left till I can actually rest.

I'm taking things one step at a time, one day at a time. I've realized that if I continue to worry about all that my future holds and all that I have to do, I'm going to go nuts and tire myself out just thinking about and not want to do anything. Either that, or go cry in a corner. Most likely do the latter because of the former.

Taking it one day at a time lets me focus on specific things though and I get a lot more done this way. My next goal is to tackle finals and then go into isolation for a month to study for the MCAT. I want to emerge from this dark hole, victorious.

I may have said several times before that the current week I'm writing about is the busiest, but no. THIS WEEK will be my busiest week. I have an exam, a huge skit in my Arabic class that is worth a large percent of my grade—both on the same day, if I may add. On top of that I have to commute from Oklahoma City to Norman and back to pick up and drop off my little sister to school. Then on Friday, I have an extra credit assignment for which I have to attend an event to obtain the credit. Finally, on Saturday, I'll be attending "India Nite"for a few friends who have dances they will be doing. SO, its going to be a fun, fun week.

Oh! Some fun news that is not school-related at all—and I'm sure all you Game of Thrones fans know this already—but the first four episodes of Game of Thrones were leaked! And... I watched them all. I know, I'm horrible. I couldn't help myself, though. It was too hard to resist. On the bright side, I won't need to watch it for a month and can focus on school and MCAT.

For class this week, I have to turn in my final story for my portfolio and I want to make it absolutely amazing. I'm having a bit of writer's block... or have been having it for the past few days, BUT hopefully, I will know what I want to write soon...

This past week was very productive. I had a lot of things to do but I sat down and wrote out a schedule and got a lot of my work done on time. Instead of fooling around (lol), I finished all my homework in about two or three hours directly after class. Then, I took an hour break to eat and watch some tv or take a break. After this break, I basically sat down for six hours straight and studied for the MCAT and then once I was done with that, I hung out with my friends for about an hour and then went to sleep. This schedule was a very busy one but I was able to eat, sleep, study, and be social every day—which i learned is possible to do. The only problem was that I don't think I've ever studied this much consistently for a week straight so I got slightly sick and nauseous.

I know that it is going to get even more busy for me especially now because my mother is traveling to Pakistan to see her mother who isn't feeling very well these days. Being the oldest of three, I have to take responsibility of my little sister and drive back to the city to pick her up from school and take care of her since my dad has work and comes home in the evening. This is going to make me very tired, I know, but hopefully it won't be too bad and I'll live through. I'm still counting down the days till my mom returns, though. :D

This past week was not that memorable I would say, probably because I can't remember anything. Wait, it's coming back to me... slowly. I have the absolute worst memory, or perhaps this past week wasn't the best so I forgot it.

From what I can remember, I had a test in my psychology class. I think I did alright in that though I've been acing all the other tests and assignments so even if I didn't do well on this test, I could afford to do so and still maintain a good grade. I also had a quiz in my physiology class, aced that, which was great. I feel bad when my friends don't do as well but I get a better grade on an assignment though I still sort of enjoy it... I know I shouldn't but school is a competition and I will gladly enjoy all my winnings.

As for this class, its been rough. I could do a lot better and manage my time better but lately I study for the MCAT first and once I'm done with that, then I go to my studying and homework for all my classes in the time I have left. I'll try to do a better job with that though and prioritize better to where I can get everything done. The only problem is that time is running short, but I've been getting pep talks from friends and those are really uplifting and motivating.

The worst.

This past week went by pretty smoothly and I didn't have that many things to do so it was good. However, because it was one of the better weeks I had (since I didn't have as many things to do), I was a bit lazy with other assignments. On top of it being a nice week with homework and assignments, it was also a beautiful week with weather so just relaxing outside on a bench was pushed to the top of my list of priorities. The other big thing that happened this past week was the Medieval Fair! For all of you who go to OU, you should definitely know what this is since they have it every year at the end of March and it is pretty much right in your face. They start set up about a week prior to the event and the event itself lasts three days. Even if you don't like these kind of things, you should go just to see all that they are selling because everything is so cool. It's even more cool how they all dress up and talk as if you were in the medieval times. The absolutely BEST part though, is the jousting! That is one of the main reasons I go. I always had a love for "medieval-ish" kind of things, being a Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit fan, I immerse myself into these things completely.

That was all in terms of my life outside school. For this class in specific though, I enjoyed this past week's reading assignments. They were definitely some of the more fascinating reads and also, because I love the Pandavas, I enjoyed it even more. I was a bit sad at the ending though. I didn't really like how everyone just one by one died. It made things appear a bit depressing, but still, I did love the whole story!

Mine is definitely the latter... or is it?

This week is starting out hectic, especially because its the week right after Spring Break and I have so much on my plate. It's absolutely ridiculous. It's even more stressful that I have to prepare for the MCAT that I'm taking in about two months while I have to keep up with all my classes. At the start of this semester, taking only fourteen hours I didn't think I would have too much of a load but that turned out to be completely wrong. I have been sleeping very late and for very few hours. This makes me end up sleeping long hours and waking up late on the weekends to where I have even less time to study for the MCAT—weekends being the time I keep to study for that huge test. That test is eating my soul—no joke. The stress it is causing is becoming too much, but hopefully it will be over soon!

Aside from that part of my life, I can say that this class has its good and bad moments. Sometimes it seems like a lot to do but other times its really nice because it is a lot of writing, and writing is something that is a passion of mine. When I realized that this class was mostly writing stories, I was thrilled. If I could have another chance at college, I would have writing as a profession though write now it's just a hobby and I'm totally okay with that. My favorite story I would have to say is "I See Fire." That was a story that came to my mind like a lightbulb and I wrote it so fast and I absolutely loved it too. I've found that stories that come to me in a flash like that tend to actually end up really good. And judging from all the comments, I can see others love it too for which I'm glad!

This week was a hectic one. Where I planned to keep up with my work and get ahead, I actually slowed down. Where I kept up with things my first two weeks, I seem to have died this third week. Most of this is due to the fact that I have to study for the MCAT on the side and take some time away from homework to study for it. But homework this semester is taking a lot more time than I expected. Where I assumed I would get done quickly and then resume my MCAT studying, I end up getting very tired of doing homework, finishing it partially, then studying for the MCAT and then ending up too tired to finish the rest of my homework.

School is a very tiring process sometimes. However, in the past year I acquired a job, and just recently, I left it. It was afterwards that I realized that I liked having my job and earning money and feeling independent. And that is my biggest motivation for finishing college and continuing onwards towards the profession of my dreams: a doctor. I do realize that the studies I have right now are nothing compared to that which I'll face in medical school, which I hope to first get admitted into. So I suppose I just have to toughen up and focus and prioritize. 

For this class specifically, I had a set schedule written down. But instead of being a day ahead, I'm doing the actual day's assignment very last minute, something I said I wouldn't do. Hopefully though, I can get back on track starting this week (on Monday) and ace this class. Starting tomorrow, I plan to finish Reading A and Reading B for week 4 and begin to form an idea for my storytelling post that is due on Wednesday. 

Planners are the best!
