Break-neck Pace

I had a boss who used to joke that when he was younger he did go to school, "In the front door...then right out the back one." Ever attended Spring/Summer classes at University? It goes by so fast it's a marvel to behold. They essentially take a 4 month course and compress it into 6 weeks! Here's a sample of my calendar. Keep in mind that this is only for 2 courses:

May 26 - Project #1
May 27 - Lab Midterm Exam
May 31 - Midterm Exam
May 31 - Midterm Exam
June 02 - Abstract for Oral Presentation
June 07 - Oral Presentation
June 09 - Project #2
June 15 - Lab Final Exam
June 18 - Final Exam
June 18 - Final Exam

Whew...that's tiring just to type out! I'm then free for 16 whole days before the next semester fires up. So, if over the course of the next few weeks I don't return your calls or show up to your birthday, or whatever, know that it's probably because it's occurring before, during, or after one of the dates listed above.

Currently: Envisioning astonishing academic success at great personal/social sacrifice...
