Homework #11 THE BUDDY SYSTEM

My next step is to graduate :) In order to graduate, I still have bunch of school work I need to complete within the next three weeks ( can't believe it's almost over!).  It is stressful to think about how much more I need to do within such a short period of time.  This was honestly the hardest semester of all my college years- not only as always I am working full time, school, and internship take a lot of my time (when do we students sleep?), on top of that the past few months were the hardest on me in my personal life as well- everything just went wrong...  I am very stressed and this better end soon...I need a break.  So that's why I am taking a year off before graduate school.  So applying to schools and all that good stuff won't be the center of my attention for the next few months still. So my next step, as I said earlier, is to complete all my school work and graduate.  On my sheet in class I wrote down that I will finish up whatever I need for my psychology paper (which is a nightmare) and get my psychology presentation out of the way, and I did it. It feels good.  The rest of the school work I gotta do shouldn't be as hard as those two, so I feel better.  I think I can breathe again...:) 

As for the Buddy Meeting, I chose Abidemi Abioye as my partner.  We met up this morning at the UIC library.  Our meeting was kind of pointless, to be honest.  Both of us have goals to get our Master Degree, but we both are taking a break off from school for a year, so right now we are not applying.  So as for reporting back step, we reported back to ourselves that we did our school work for the week, because we both have the same next step to complete all the school work and graduate, so her, as well as me, also knocked out a lot of school work out of her way this week to move closer to graduation.  We did not run into any problems so we didn't really need solutions, other than that we are both tired, stressed, and stuck with he same psychology paper (she's also taking that Nightmare Psychology class!!!) but we are getting there with help of our strict and criticizing TAs... Our plans for the future- keep on working on school stuff, lets get this over with!, and graduate:)

I didn't find the Buddy Meeting helpful at all...Me and my buddy are on our own pace and on top of the things, and it was really hard to find a time to meet as we are both very busy.  It actually took me two hours to commute this morning from Buffalo Grove to school (our 90 Highway is something else...) just to meet Abidemi up...  Honestly, this could have been done over the phone...
