July 17, 2012             

     I am so scared right now! Some of the assignments leading up to my final in this English Composition 101 class were just posted. I always get a little overwhelmed when I first read the week’s lesson plan, but this one has so many parts to it, so many steps, I just hope I can get all of this done. I can honestly say I feel nauseous. This is my first class that I’ve taken in a very long time so I don’t know what to expect. I am expecting to have to write a research paper, but I don’t quite understand how I could do that at a proctored final exam. The suspense is KILLING me!! I’ve only written one research paper in my entire life and that was my senior year in high school and I’m not even sure if that one was a good research paper. Who knows? Maybe I will do just fine. It is just this waiting, I can’t stand it. I just keep telling that I have less than two weeks left in this class.  There is so much reading to do before I can even begin these assignments. I wonder if I will be able to get all of it done. The thing is, I know I need to read all the information, but at the same time I worry about leaving myself with enough time to complete everything that I need to do. It looks like my family will be eating cold sandwiches the next few nights. I will say that they have been more than understanding about dinner nowadays. Tonight my husband has volunteered to make BLTs for dinner just so I can get through some of my reading. He’s also been good about keeping the boys entertained in the evenings. It is so nice to have a support system.
