The late night college madness

So I currently sit in front of my computer right now at about 5 am with an art history book plopped open trying to make scene of the words of a Mr. Clement Greenberg. I personally find the guy to be a bit pretentious in his opinions as a modern art critic but that is for the moment beyond the point of this blog post you are currently occupying your time with.Some hopefully less boring things to read.

I find the madness that plagued the end of my Junior semester here at Suny Plattsburgh with a not so welcome feeling from my side of things. On top of this blog which is in need of maintenance I am guaranteed  at least 3 short art history essays a week. I earn the advanced writing credit that Denis Costanza says his class gives me. Just as well I should mention 3 upper division art courses to deal with. It is more than it sounds trust me.

I wouldn't mind this say if  I knew if I was not the only one? I mean we are about 2 1/2 weeks into this semester so I m assuming the newness is waring off by now, just wasn't expecting this intensity quite yet. I'm also wondering if my room mate has woken up in the middle of the night wondering what the hell am I doing in front of my laptop still. Certainly didn't take any breaks to play Minecraft or anything like that... or did i? (No.) The stress has to be coming back for some already is what I am trying to say, possibly seniors and up in particular.


 Can't claim I didn't have didn't have days like sung about above over the summer, but dang did I do some cool things in that game. I am getting distracted again it seems though. Please if you will, share your thoughts and feelings and such. and until until  next I see you all, I think I have to convince my now possibly waking up room mate that I'm not crazy and havent been up all night.

  1. I completely agree with you about being super busy. I feel so stressed out and it's only week 3 of the semester which just makes me so nervous. I hope that I begin to balance myself better and can start to get work do early in the day so I can sleep more. We shall see where this crazy semester takes us.

  2. I third this motion, I'm a senior and its literally the 4th week in and I feel like I'm failing every class already and am swamped with work. But, yeesh, art history huh? Sounds painful. I'm currently in the library doing homework and have been here for an hour. What have I done? Commented on peoples' blogs...ha! Good luck with your art history, sounds like a great way to start a nap...

  3. Coming from the girl who's replying to you at 2 in the morning.. I feel your stress. Plus, Minecraft can be such a downfall. I literally watched my roommate build a tree farm for 6 hours.. SIX. And then I finally got off my lazy ass and tried to build a beach house but ran out of inspiration. Damn you Minecraft. This is all when she should be doing my Broadcast homework or studying for a current events quiz. We feel your pain!! Junior year is going to be one hell of a ride.
