Kill Me Now

*swears*
*thinks of other assignments*
*swears a lot*
*looks at exam timetable*
*swears some more*
Can you guess I’m not happy at the moment. Just came from an English lecture. Turns out the people who organise the exams forgot to include my Rise of Fiction module, don’t ask me how they managed it, and they can’t slot it into the timetable now. So the English department had to come up with another way to asses it. Here was me thinking maybe it’d just be done by one major essay like one of the modules last semester but no. Second half of the course is being marked by an essay which’ll be due in a week or two before the exams which just sucks for me. Firstly I have a major project worth 80% of my choice History module due in around that time. Second I have another English assignment due May 9. Also my, now two, actual sit down exams are on the first 2 days of the exams and they are both 2 hour papers that require a lot of work. As you can guess May will be beyond busy for me. Actually looking at other assignments April will be too. Also we don’t have titles yet and there are under 6 weeks left in the semester!
But what has really annoyed me is the fact that the first half of the course is being assessed by take home open book exam. WTF!? I know you’re probably thinking what’s the problem with that the answers will be right in front of you. Let me explain. We will be given the paper with 4 essay questions, pick one, on Thursday at the end of class. We will then have till Friday, the following day, at 5 to hand in a hard copy and submit via turn it in. Friday is the worst possible day for me. I have 4 lectures in a row, 3 of which I have to go to as attendance effects our final grade and the other one I really should go to anyway cause it’s a short module and based on online assessment and assignments. So I basically have to do a college essay in one day. No wait I don’t cause I have another English lecture and a History tutorial to go to, not to mention I don’t get home till something to 8 on Thursdays. Add to that we haven’t a clue if we’ve to reference, footnote, add a bibliography, use secondary sources, etc. I don’t even have any secondary reading done cause I wasn’t expecting to have to have any done till the exams in mid May. I haven’t even read all the novels! And of course not forgetting any other work I have for other modules and subjects and those fricking weekly quizzes. I’m actually depressing myself. I think I may cry.
I was going to say the only positive is that I only have 2 exams but they are both in the first 2 days of the exams so I’ll be cramming non stop.
Dammit I need something to cheer me up cause this is going to depress me for a long time.
