I'm currently very frustrated and am taking a break, trying to calm down. You see, I have a research paper due in 1 week. I started it several weeks ago thinking I would be ahead of the game. Yet here it is, due in 1 week, and it is still not finished. It needs to be a minimum of 5 pages. Not a problem for me, I can write that much in no time. As a matter of fact, I already have 3 pages done and can probably write up to 5 pages tonight if I wanted to. So what is the problem??? I need to have at least 4 references of the scholarly sort. Again, normally I would have no issue with that either. But for some reason, this time I can't find jackshit for references. Part of that is I am lazy and want all full text versions available online--something I have never had a problem with before. I suppose it could be my topic, but I think I am just searching using the wrong keywords or something. I would love to say that this would be my only research paper due this semester, but I have at least 2 others to do, which are due near the end of the semester, which is in about one month. Great.
I register for my next semester of classes tomorrow (Monday). Now is the time where I sigh because next semester I will have class 5 days a week. Again, a deep sigh. This present semester has been like a vacation for me. I have been home to get Brendan off to school every day, am here to get him off the bus as well. It has provided me the time to be able to help out in Preschool and I'm able to drop Aaron off and pick him up each day that he has class, and also the time to spend some one-on-one time with Joshua. So in the next few semesters when I am busier than I'd like to be, I can look back at this semester and smile.
Y-A-W-NNNNN..........I have just decided to go to bed. Forget this paper for the evening. The only way I see clear of this frustration is to a visit to a Reference Librarian at the university. Damn. See Jackie, this is why you need to go back to school. Become the Librarian that you want to be so I can bother you to help me with this crap!
