AAAAAH! what was i thinking?!?!?!

how the next month-and-a-half looks for brianne....
  • complete a research project: collect the data, analyze the data, write chapters 4-6; prepare a presentation - in this class, we really only have one grade which is our final product of our research paper. PRAY FOR ME! :) i know i have LOADS of research experience from marian, but still, i could potentially get a non-A grade in this class b/c of silly mistakes...blah.
  • complete diversity critical project: study "refugees in schools" (through media, society and counseling related issues) and find at least 5 sources to back up a lit review section of the paper; prepare a presentation
  • complete my butler portfolio: create lesson plans, do guidance work (individual, classroom and group), collect data, analyze data, reflect on the outcome/relevance of each piece (i have 4 left to do); organize into a binder to submit
  • study for the comprehensive exam that i'm now taking in april instead of in july (YIKES!): 8 sections spanning from human growth to research and appraisal (YUCK!)
  • complete about 150 more internship hours (this is actually the fun part :))
  • organize a college visit trip for high school juniors; collect data; reflect
  • finish a "mean girls" group at the middle school; collect data; reflect
  • do a mini-group on culture shock at the high school; collect data; reflect
  • do two (only need ONE) more videos for my internship class
  • not make lee want to divorce me for being oober stressed and kind of mean/bossy/pissy all the time (love you honey!)
  • find time to eat/sleep/shower
  • figure out how i can enjoy the amazing spring weather when i'm in buildings all day --> not to worry, the weather has SUCKED!
  • try not to freak myself out about not making ANY money for this entire semester
  • ...who knows what else will come up...

as you can see, my stress level may be higher than it ever has before. i got myself into this situation, so i'll live through it...but i'm scared a little about how this will all get done in less than two months. eek. lee has been amazing through all of this. he's really just been taking care of everything b/c all i can take care of is my school work and my sanity! :)
