So, Reader, my face is about to explode. Lately, I’ve been battling the very difficult (and short) transition from school to work, when technically, work hasn’t even started yet. That “Good Week” I wrote about was very short-lived, when I finally realized the responsibilities of being a full-time student accepting an internship in the very foreseeable future.

From sending in the paperwork for my Co-op, to making appointments with the right advisers and professors, to finalizing the lease on my short-term Rochester lease, my brain barely has the capacity to soak up any school material. What is even more nerve-wracking is that I’m not even close to being done with my laundry list of things to finish before next week. Here are (just some of) the things I still need to complete (I know you really care, Reader):

-DO MY STATISTICS HOMEWORK BY TOMORROW (Today :()
-Figure out how to hold my scholarship
-Cancel my housing contract
-Talk to my adviser (4:00 pm tomorrow!)
-Find a Finance professor to sponsor my internship as a course
-Sign up for summer classes
-Complete my lease in Rochester
-Call IBM to see if my ending date can be pushed up
-Call IBM about ‘orientation’ day details
-Write my paper for Accounting due Friday
-Figure out my apartment checkout time
-Email the painting teacher
-And mostly finish my Statistics homework.

SIGH, my brain is stale from having to think so much lately. Finals are looming ahead, and I am feeling bogged down and flustered since this is a horrible time to not retain school material.

Thanks for reading all of this petty, petty complaining, Reader, I really appreciate it.

Talk to you soon!

LOVE,

Rachel
