i'll be back soon

I know I've used this before, but it is more applicable now than ever before.

I have a Shakespeare research paper due on Tuesday {before Thanksgiving break} which means that I only have six days to finalize everything about it, and whittle it down to as close to perfection as I can get it before I surrender it to my professor for mutilation.

I have a research paper that I have still yet to write for my Modern British Literature class that is due the day after Thanksgiving break ends {thanks for the great timing, professor}. Even with only one class period left before the break* we still haven't discussed anything about the paper. We've asked; oh, believe me, we've asked, yet received no information. Which means that I will be writing said paper blindly on the plane rides and a little while I'm home, hoping that I'm doing it correctly because all of my time this week is devoted to the a fore mentioned Shakespeare essay. It takes precedence; it's due sooner. I foresee quite a bit of emailing back and forth with my Brit Lit professor.

I am mostly stressed out about these papers because they both require eight to ten pages, and the space of time I have left to work on them is diminishing much quicker than I would like. Haven't they figured out how to suspend time yet? C'mon, someone has got to be close, right? Granted, the assignments are entirely doable; eight to ten pages really isn't that much, but throw two of those bad boys at someone and it's enough to garner a reaction akin to the picture above.

So before I run off and have my affairs with Hamlet, Macbeth, and Oscar Wilde, and bid you, my faithful followers, adieu for the next eight days or so, in the spirit of the season, here is what I am thankful for right now. One: Understanding, kind professors. Two: Starlit, quiet moments up the canyon spent with the one I most enjoy spending time with.

I just realized how lengthy this is, and I apologize. Fare thee well, bloggers. {at least until Thanksgiving}

*Editor's Note:
At BYU, the Tuesday before Thanksgiving break is Friday class instruction, hence no Tuesday/Thursday classes.
