My homework load makes baby Jesus cry.

[] Physics quiz tomorrow. I’ve barely even glanced at the material.
[] CSE Homework 2 due at 5pm on Sunday. Of course, I’ll be at Courtney and Ryan’s Halloween party Saturday night, which I’ve been looking forward to for months, and I’m not about to bow out.
[] Math quiz in Monday’s recitation, worth 5% of my grade.
[] CSE Midterm on Monday, as well, worth 25% on my grade.
[x] Film research paper topics due Tuesday, October 31st. I think I have mine more or less worked out.
[] Fairy Tales essay due Wednesday, November 1st, worth 30% of my final grade.
[x] Also read a bunch of variations of the fairy tale “Donkeyskin” for Wednesday, November 1st.
[] And read Robin McKinley’s Deerskin (375 pages) for the same class.
[] Physics Midterm on Thursday, November 2nd. I am going to die.
[] Math Midterm on Tuesday, November 7th, preventing me from doing any real volunteer work on Election Day. Bah.
[] Read a lot of variations of “Hansel and Gretel,” and read Louise Murphy’s The True Story of Hansel and Gretel (300 pages) for Wednesday, November 8th.

But you know what makes the Baby Jesus laugh and sing and dance again? Ben & Jerry’s “American Pie” on a banana nut waffle. Thank you, Baby Jesus, for the gifts my stomach is about to receive.
