End-of-semester death march update (blogging will be light for a week)

Tonight: Work on the slides for the marketing plan presentation and try to finish the accounting project. 

The accounting project isn't actually due until the 15th, but I want to get it done early so we have the opportunity to get feedback from the professor and fix any issues before the deadline.  I'm not worried about it because it's very straightforward and I did so well on the exams that I only need to get 71% on the project to get an A in the class (but my project groupmates probably need higher scores so I can't just half-ass it).

Tomorrow: Rehearse marketing presentation with my group, finish accounting project if it isn't done yet.

Thursday: Presentation, followed by dinner with the former coworkers who are attending the presentation (the marketing plan is for their company).  Begin studying for Marketing final exam.

Friday-Tuesday: Study for the Marketing final, pretty much full time.  I am really stressed about this exam because I have no idea what my grade in the class is going into the exam -- the only intermediate feedback was two short case analysis papers (25%) which I half-assed and only averaged 85.5% on.  The rest of the grade is the marketing plan and presentation (30%) -- I think our group is doing well on but who knows how he's going to grade it? -- and class participation (20%) -- again, I think I've participated far more than the average student but it's so arbitrary and I have no idea if he uses relative or absolute standards to measure this.  The final is worth 25% of the grade and is rumored to be very tough.  I didn't get much out of his lectures so I'm going to have to study by self-teaching myself out of the textbook and that will be very time-consuming.  Ugh.  I'm really freaked out about this. :(

Tuesday night: Take Marketing final.  Drink heavily afterwards.

I'd also like to fit in pigging out at the San Gennaro Feast, see a movie with my husband, say hi to Terrence while he's in town (someone gave me the most ridiculous thing and I must regift it to him), and maybe go to the ArtFest in Henderson.  I've been neglecting my local friendships so hopefully I can interest them in going with me to at least one of those activities.

I will have a lot of rested XP waiting for me in World of Warcraft next week. :)

I like how Grad School is finally bigger than World of Warcraft now.

Well, I restarted this blog as part of a procrastination phase, so of course not-school things were going to be more heavily featured at first.

I can see the San Gennaro thing from my house. I may stop by if I'm back in town soon enough.
