Over the past year or so, I have come to associate dread with Sundays. The reason being is that I always have a lot of school work due by Sunday night. Whenever I am on a break from school, I still get that familiar pain in my stomach after breakfast on Sunday--even though I have no school work to do. However, next Sunday I will be back to having a legitimate reason for the feeling of doom. School is back in session tomorrow.
I expect that many of you readers are having similar thoughts right now. "Why doesn't she just work steadily on her school work throughout the week?" My question to you is "Why don't you steadily bite me?" I'm just kidding. Though at the beginning of every semester I take the same solemn oath in my head that I will not procrastinate anymore...ever. I stick to my word for about a week before life creeps into the picture again. One of the boys are sick, or something comes up at work, or I just plain want to sit and watch TV. Thank you Writers Guild of America! You have given me one less excuse to avoid school work! Don't pat yourself on the back too much, I'm sure that I will find some other distraction to replace the new episodes that I would have watched.
The one thing that is keeping me going in school is that I'm getting so close to finally graduating! The count down has begun. With graduation in December I now have less than a year until I receive my degree!

Big props to you for having the determination and dedication to commit to a full time job outside the home, a (hell of a lot more than) full time job at home, AND school. There's no way I could hold it all together to do all three at the same time.
And if it makes you feel any better, it's been almost five years since I last was enrolled as a student, and I STILL get that sense of dread come Sunday night. =) If only weekends were five days and the work week was two...
Your "steadily bite me" cracks me up! I do the same thing with daily tasks. If I know someone is coming over I can't get the nitty gritty cleaning done until about 30 minutes before they arrive. (ok ok I mean I can't START until about 30 minutes before they arrive.)
Unfortunately, I watched Grace and Luci do the same. I give them 20-30 minutes to clean up their room and if they don't, I clean by taking the stuff left on the floor away, and they have to earn it back. So when the beeper goes off, I collect things in a box and they rush to take it all out in less than 1 minute and somehow get it put away before I get it all in the box. I think I need a new system!
And I feel all the hypocracy of myself explaining to the cottage girls how to steadily complete their homework. And then I feel the "steadily bite me's".
So I believe it is just human nature to do things this way and theory always works better than practice.
Heeheeheehee, why don't you steadily bite me? I'm going to say that to my boss next time she asks me why my report wasn't in on time.
Mad crazy props on the proximity to a degree!
