Scholastic Slavery

I keep joking about how it figures I need to undergo surgery in order to get some time off. I don't feel this last week really counts as vacation though, since I'm drugged and in pain through most of it. Hardly a holiday. So by this point, I'm desperate for some time off, or of just a day where I can relax, and not have a billion other things in the back of my mind that I'm worried about.

However, it looks like that is not in the cards for me for quite some time. Today, I've been attempting to study for an exam I have tomorrow. It has not been going well...the painkillers I'm on are having a negative effect on my concentration. I was taking a break and decided to look through my class syllabi to figure out what will going on for the next few weeks. And discovered I'm basically a slave to my studies until May 25th.

All of my professors have decided to throw all these projects and extra chapters at the last minute. All five classes. Throw in the fact that I am still healing from the surgery, and I have to go in on Monday to have these wicks removed from my lower teeth, which will require added healing time.

So what this all comes down to is the death of my social life for another 2 or 3 weeks. I'm seriously going to need to cut loose and unwind after that last final. Because I don't think I'm going anywhere but the library before then. Sigh...
