Stressed, Thankful

I tried to think of another adjective that described how I was feeling right now that started with "u" but couldn't do it.

Anyway as the title implies, I'm pretty stressed right now but also thankful. The two sort of go hand in hand.

I've got two tests tomorrow, mostly free response. For me, multiple choice is generally straightforward and not too hard because I have developed a lot of experience and skill in the art of guessing (see: my SAT score). Free response is a whole other animal though, and I actually have to study for those portions. I still have several articles to read/re-read tonight so I'm familiar enough to answer these questions. Not so fun, and it's already almost 10 which means I should sleep soon since I have an early start tomorrow.

And I have an early start because I have an interview at 7:30 at school. We had a couple career events the past couple days and I'm very thankful that I got several interviews scheduled for tomorrow. This is unusual (not the "u" word I was looking for but close) for me since I think I've only had maybe three or four total interviews the past two years. Regardless of what happens, I'm really grateful just that I can go and talk to these companies and recruiters. I feel like as far as career stuff, God has really blessed me and put opportunities in front of me even when I don't think they'll be available.

So that's it. Just wanted to throw something about that up here. And just wanted to procrastinate too.

By the way, one of the very first posts I ever had on this blog was this one: http://uniquelygeneric.blogspot.com/2009/03/pet-peeve.html

I was basically complaining about people misusing the word "literally" because, yeah, I'm that much of a stickler. Anyway, theoatmeal.com basically said the same thing, in a much more succinct manner and with cooler pictures.
