I bought my cap and gown today

But before I get to do any walking around in it (in flats, they were out of my size so I had to get one made for short-er people), I must finish a bunch of obnoxious stuff:

1. 15 page polysci paper about the war in Afghanistan. This is the scariest assignment of them all, and I should probably be figuring out my thesis and doing research right now.

2. 3-5 pager on Universal Health Care- luckily Massachusettes just implemented a plan, so I should have plenty to go on there.

3. My last group project ever! (as an undergrad...who knows if I'm really gonna be done with school, right?). It's next Wednesday, my group sucks of course, and I have to use their answers to write my answer and no one has done anything yet. Oh yeah, and it's a company analysis of Ford. They kinda suck these days.

4. Two regular homework assignments, one about bond pricing, the other about derivative securities. Thrilling.

5. A portfolio project where I create and analyze a $10,000,000 mutual fund of 20 securities. Supposedly it's gonna be 20 pages, and lots of excel graphs and tables. Fun.

6. Two finals, but I'm not worrying about those until classes are over on Dec. 7th.

And I'm really so over this. I'm over my job, I'm over rushing to get to class, I'm over not EVER sleeping in, I'm over staring at the damn computer when I'd rather be outside or working out, and I'm over being poor. I want to have money on payday, not barely enough left after paying all the damn bills so that I feel guilty for buying a bag of groceries at Whole Foods instead of Schnucks.
