What is this?
I think that for the first time, in a long time (or maybe ever, for that matter), I'm stressed out. I foolishly decided to take 18 credit hours this quarter, thinking that the Indonesian puppet class would be cake (well it is easy but very time consuming). Only, what would posses me to think I could handle 18 hours? I have no idea. As an undergrad I usually went part time and at the most I took 15 hours- but then again that was under the semester, not the quarter system I have now. The quarter system takes all the same amount of reading, paper writing, studying and research that a semester has only gives you less time to do it in. As I am a graduate student my papers have to be longer and I have read more than ever before. I guess the fun of Ohio University as worn off and I'm starting to think- what have I gotten myself into? This is a lot of work. I'm starting to dream about school- nightmares about whether I have studied enough for an exam or made my puppets correctly. Plus, I'm also taking this history and just have my first exam- in two years. I felt I did okay but an 80 isn't exactly the greatest grade (I might add here that I stopped taking history classes years ago because I could never get better than a B in them- and perhaps I should have stayed with this policy). Then there's the whole Thai issue- I really hate feeling like a quitter- but there is no way I will do well in that class. I need to take a deep breath.

Hey, at least the quarter is almost over. And now you know better than to take that many.
