This is the busiest I have ever felt going into the final 2 weeks

This quarter has had me very busy. I've outlined many of my problems already, such as being flooded out of my apartment, and living in a hotel for a month. After than the process of moving in was quite time consuming. I had to quit my job because they could not cut my hours back enough for me to be able to pass my classes. My mom is now in Afghanistan, and there are various other responsibilities I must fulfill now, such as making sure rent payment is on time, grocery shopping, and sending things to her.

Even after quitting my job, I have not had time for all my work. I am 5 weeks behind as of right now in math, Calculus 2. I am confident I will pass and learn the material but do not know what my grade will be like outside of that. I am all but done on my artistic response, which is a good thing. I still have my paper to write for this class but I have it shaped out pretty well at this point and don't anticipate any problems there.

I have 2 presentations to prepare for however. One in math and another in my biology class. On top of that I have 4 exams coming up between the two classes.

As for my artistic response, I have gone with a comic. Well, it's not exactly a traditional comic. I gathered my inspiration from the internet and have created a series of 'Rage Comics'. These comics are a form of art and expression often used throughout the internet. If something happens in your life, you can create a rage comic to illustrate the event. The name "rage comic" comes from its roots as something people create to vent their anger or frustration at an event. They are most often created using standard sprites or characters with varying facial expressions and moods, which have been created by various internet users for their respective purposes. While they are often relatively simple and simplistic in appearance, I can assure much time, thought and effort is going into my comics as I try to make them perfect.
