All right ladies, I feel sick! Sick to my stomach, sick in my brain, sick in my head. No, I am not really sick, I just feel that way. You see, the problem is, I am in school. Now I know you have all read about it before, but this is different. Last week and the week before I was just starting, not sure what to expect, and a bit on the "OK, this will be fine" side of things. But, this week is different. I have a paper due tomorrow. Now that would be enough to put some people into a panic, but it gets worse. It is up for peer review. So, that means that one of the young, smart, whippersnappers in my class is going to read my paper, and I think I am going to be called out as the fraud I feel like. They will realize that you really don't get smarter with age, and that your mind really does degenerate as you get older. My last wish is that you all remember I did have some moments of pure lucidity before I started this whole college thing, and that if it doesn't work out for me, you all will not point and laugh. I am now off to finish the paper and blow all of you and my blog off once again, until next week.
Sincerely,
The woman formerly known as smart.

I am sure by now you already turned in your brilliant paper and are feeling a little less sick!
Just think probably half the class stayed up until 2am drinking and partying and then wrote their papers with bad hangovers and only 2 hours to go before class (not that I would know anything about that...I never ever B.S'd a paper right before class...I'm sure you didn't either!)
I promise I will only laugh if your laughing too, and if I am doing any pointing it will just be to something on the dessert menu! At least you're trying to tackle school and a family...I have issues just getting the laundry done or dinner on time!
I agree with everything Monkey Bugs had to say. You have the advantage of self descipline over most of the youngsters in your class. Probably a good portion of your classmates feel the same way you do and a good portion of the rest of the class just doesn't care.
You're awesome!!
Oh, I'm sure your paper was and is great!! I felt that way when I was writing those damn papers for my history class this past fall. It all comes back very quick... stand tall and proud and let those little youngsters know your not scared!!!!
