 October 25 at 3:42pm I have a class in roughly 30 minutes, and glad that it's online. This is my Psychometrics course; I still don't understand precisely what that means and need someone to explain it in simpler terms. Or, I could be a big girl and do my own search.

Why is it that the busy work happens all at once, and is not spread out? Because I was bad at planning. Okay, I recognize that. First flounder of the semester, but one of many in my life. Do I ever learn? Ha, yes and no. I also realize (thank you, Dr. Therapist) that waiting until the last minute is a coping mechanism for my stress. Regardless, I ...
