I am up to page thirty on my English 681 final project, not counting the extra handouts I'll need to print and insert prior to turning it in. With those included and another ten pages or so of lesson plans/exams to craft and tack on, it looks like the final version of my project will clock in around fifty pages or so, give or take a few.
This is, of course, more than double what the required length of the assignment was, but it can't be helped; the first fifteen pages or so of it are nothing but the absolutely necessary parts of the assignment -- namely the three-page defense/course description, a five-page detailed syllabus, and then a weekly lesson plan. My professor wants example lesson plans/class assignments, example quizzes and the like as well. I have trimmed what I was going to include in half, basically, and it still will be around fifty pages when it's all said and done.
I have not slept. I have, of course, tried to sleep -- first a little after 2AM (when Lady went to bed), then again after 7AM. I will probably crash at some point soon. I feel it coming on but I'm not quite there yet. I'm writing this post after eating breakfast in the hopes that I will soon become tired enough to actually sleep.
Lady is still sick; this marks day five of her flu. Still she soldiers on. She is unable to make it out here this weekend because of schoolwork, but we've made plans for next weekend -- when neither of us will be busy and can actually relax together for some actual peace-and-quiet time. Plus, by then she (hopefully) won't feel like walking death, either.
As it is Saturday morning, I've got three more days of weekend laid out ahead of me. This means I can pace myself for the rest of the project and attempt to get some real rest in the meantime as well. Perhaps I should try that now.
