Did I have over 2 weeks to write this four to six page literature review on dual-language immersion? Yes.

Did I still wait to start on it until the night before it was due, then had to wake up at 4 am on the day it was due to have it finished by 5:10 am? Yes.

So my least favorite class so far is public speaking. I'm a shy person with a lot of anxiety and it isn't fun at all. I feel physically sick every day that I have that class. It's absolutely horrible. Anyways, so I've worked my ass off on this outline for our next speech. And I have the whole speech written out except for the last fucking sentence, because I am horrible when it comes to conclusions. So I message my best friend because she took speech classes all throughout high school and she loves this stuff, and asked her if she could help me with this since it's due tomorrow and I only need the help with one sentence, and she just isn't talking to me now. Like she agreed to help and told me to send it, but isn't giving me any feedback or anything. So I'm s t r e s s e d right now.
