Stress.

It's officially begun to dawn on me just how much work I have to do in the next two weeks. Now that my workload in school has started to slow down as far as checkpoints and assignments, I can start working on my final projects. The only trouble is that now, I have a trip to Phoenix to work around.

Whether I like it or not, I have to go to the Mesa courthouse on the 22nd. This totally screws up my plans. I was hoping to stick with a rigid schedule between now and the last day of class, but with taking a whole day to get up there and a whole day to get back, that's two days wasted. Schedule fucked. Plans fucked.

Ugh.

And then let's add the stress brought on by my problems with financial aid. Lisa has yet to tell me about any new developments with my account, but I got another letter from her office reminding me of my upcoming debt. All I know is that this better not go on my credit. She told me that I shouldn't have to pay anything, but the money is due tomorrow and I swear to god, if my credit gets ruined because of this... I'll scream. I will. I'll fucking scream.

But in the meantime, I'm going to try not to panic. Nothing's happened yet, so I shouldn't worry too much.

I officially started work on my final projects yesterday. So far, I have three rough drafts of twelve total postcards that will probably get finished tomorrow. I'm hoping to finish three or more every two days, so I can have my Photoshop final done in about a week. Then I can crack down on my Communications final. And then... I have to hope that everything with my financial aid works out so that I can move on to my next classes and not have my graduation postponed.

Hopefully if I stick to this new schedule, I'll be alright. Then I'll have one glorious week of no school, followed shortly afterward by my long-awaited trip to Japan! I'm so excited. I'll be in school while I'm over there, but I have a plan for that, too. Here's hoping that it works.
