No matter how early I start, I always seem to find myself doing the bulk of a class’s homework the night before it’s due. It really drives me crazy and makes me question whether I’m a “good student” or not. “There HAS to be a better way of doing this..” I think every time I’m sitting at my desk at 1am. Finally after bringing it up to my boyfriend, a Masters student at OU, his response provided me with a small bit of re-assurance, “The truth of it is: It’s college. That’s just how it works. Everyone works the night before. Trust me… you’re not any different or any less responsible than all the other college students.”

I often have a hard time feeling that “passion” for an assignment because of all the other deadlines for everything else because even when I do start feeling excited about a project I can’t just keep working on it because I have other classes that have much closer deadlines. It’s like I have to work on everything in little snippets because I only have time to work on what is due for the next class.

I’m creeped out Ken…did you crawl in my brain while I was in my Nyquil coma over the last 5 days? I swear I had this conversation with myself as I was laid up in bed wondering a) when the sinus pain would stop and b) trying to figure out how to get caught up after missing so much.

ugh…I need a personal assistant.

I have also found that the synthesis of our education in design does not exactly occur overnight and this in turn may be feeding our fears. I know that principles and concepts I was ‘taught’ in my formative years at community college and even my junior year at CCS are really only beginning to flower in my mind. And only of late I have been able to apply those principles and concepts to design. Unfortunately, it feels as if applying such is too late sometimes, and that also may be feeding The Fear(tm).

You said it baby, we’re almost done. We’ve made it this far and there’s no turning back.
