It's cold, dark, and windy...may be this is a sign of the times...or may be it's just Boone.

Halloween...Southern Conference playoffs ...school cranking up the heat...it must almost be November and crunch time again. The fact that I am rising at 6 am to update my blog epitomizes that fact that I have no time for anything other than academics and athletes at this stage of the year.

Academically, I am checking out my diary and syllabi's regularly to see for assignments that are due and I just can't figure out when I am going to have time to complete them all. I have a lesson plan due here, a reflection due there, an investigation's waiting for me to complete it over there, and tests galore coming up, just to name a few things on my plate.

Athletes on the other hand is cranking up the pressure too. The Men's Soccer team have two regular season games remaining and then it's Southern Conference playoff time. From then on out its pretty much sudden death, you lose and your seasons over. We recorded a great win against ACC foe Virginia Tech on Tuesday night and hopefully this is a sign that we are coming into form just at the right time. As a senior, if anyone is interested, it is Senior Day on Sunday the 26th of October. It would be great to see as many people as possible come out, support and give their appreciation to the four seniors (including myself) who will be playing their last home game for Appalachian State (playoffs depending.)

I'm in my last stages of preparing for the GRE's. As my roommate and professor told me, you can't exactly "study" for this exam (because it luck whether or not you get a question you recognize and its suppose to be a test where you have learnt all the content throughout your college career) but you can prepare yourself strategically to answer certain questions in certain ways, and that's what I'm doing. With all the school work I'm finding it hard to schedule study, but in the end I know where my priorities lie and time is being found (I don't know from where though.)

I'm sorry that my post is similar to the one I wrote last time. May be this is an indication of what my life is like for me at the moment. Even my partner and Mum are catching the short end of the stick when it comes to communicating because I have so much stuff to do.

Fingers crossed I get it done. Anyway, I've got to fly, it's 7:30am and my job in the I.MC. of the school library is calling my name. Hopefully my boss understands why I'm a few minutes late.

Until next time...
