Some days you just know it's go-time. And you can wake up and get things done and not be tired and generally just own the whole day. Every moment is productive. You're never tempted to stop and just surf the web, or check your news filters just to see what's happened. You have a list of what you need to do, and you GET. IT. DONE.
Today was that day.
Woke up twelve minutes before my alarm -- that's bonus time, friend! Bonus time I desperately needed before this insanity:
8am - Met with my TA.
8:45 - Impromptu group review session with TA.
10 - Catholicism in the US. .
12noon - American Literature.
1:30pm - Phone interview.
Study. Study. Study.
Paper.
Study Group.
Blog for five seconds.
Study study study study study....
Wish me luck.

What I'm Doing Today
So no big post about yesterday's outting, or my mental breakdown about upcoming tests/papers because I just have so much work to do.
THIS IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN DOING ALL DAY, in preparation for Tuesday's geology midterm:
Note the lovely bars and metal grate covering my bedroom window. And the lovely view of the wall of the building right outside. How jealous are you right now?
THIS is what I WILL be doing all of TOMORROW:
More geology!!
AND MONDAY, starting at 8am, when I go to meet with my TA for a private review/tutoring session:
You get the idea.
Also, what is the worst view YOU have ever had out of a window some where you've lived?

Midterms. And MISSION: MOBY DICK.
As an English major, I live in a constant "Oh-my-Shakespeare, I have two papers due next week!" kind of thrilling panic. Plus, you know, midterms for my other two classes. So a girl's gotta be pretty productive.
Today, for instance:
Woke up early to review the study guide I made for my Catholicism in the US class just ONE LAST TIME before the midterm. Coffee, apartment brewed. Took midterm. Kicked midterm's ass. (This I didn't love so much. It was after all a midterm).
BUT THEN I went to American Literature, where a strange guy I had never seen before came in and sat down in front of me. He was wearing a bright red Toys-R-Us button-up staff shirt at least three inches to short in the length. It was gross and weird and disturbing, and Kenton and I wondered why he just didn't go back to Toys-R-Us and let us block that image out of our retinas forever and ever.
We also talked about Moby Dick which, by the way is a really long book, just in case you were wondering. 'Cause I mean, do any of you actually know anyone who has read Melville's Moby Dick?? NO ONE reads that book. I don't think anyone in my CLASS is reading the whole thing, and it's assigned. But you know what??
I AM GOING TO READ MOBY DICK. ALL OF IT, BABY!! Maybe I'll do a little CollegeKate's Book Club, for the benefit of culture and the world. I mean, how do any of you feel complete without having read Melville's most noted achievement?
Okay. It's decided. I'm reading ALL OF MOBY DICK and then posting a fun little synopsis of it for you on Friday (it's long, even Friday's kind of ambitious, but get excited!!).
In between, to give us a rest from all this academic stuff, I'll think of something significantly more shallow to discuss for tomorrow. I'm also thinking I might need to organize this blog thing better, because I totally started this post planning to write about my hyper-productive and academic schedule today, with this being my first actual break while I scarf down a late dinner. Or my (surprise!) sort-of position in the College Republicans. But what can I say? Moby Dick just has that effect on people...
