As I sit here sipping my celebratory Bell's Amber Ale (thanks Andrew!), I would just like to reflect on the fact that for the past 5 or 6 days I have thought about little else except my 30+ page Investments Simulation Study. I have spent approximately 30 hours working on this project, most of which have occurred in the past three days. I did something I never do, "call off" from work, and I even skipped two classes as well (a first for this semester). I have drank about a half dozen pots of coffee and eaten nothing but junk food for the last 24 hours. Sleep has been sporadic, and I am pretty sure that the dark circles under my eyes aren't going anywhere for awhile. But it's finally finished. Why I procrastinate so much, I can not tell you. I think my brain only reacts to deadlines within 5 days...it doesn't matter that I have been writing it in my planner for the last month, or that it was assigned before this semester even began. Nope. I just like to wait to the last flippin' minute.
Oh well! It's not the greatest, and I can think of at least three errors right now. But it's over, I turned it in, and god-willing, Dr. Hancock thinks it's at least worthy of a C-. I am going to worry about it until we get our grades for the semester, but really that is only like two weeks away.
I suppose now would be a good time to begin my Dollar-Cost Averaging project for Retirement Planning...it IS due Friday at midnight! ;)
And thanks to everyone for the words of encouragement/covering my ass at work/dealing with my sleep-deprived and slap-happy self. I ask for your continued support in the next two weeks, and then it's gonna be party time! (oh wait, I start the summer semester the week after finals...hmmm).
