Grad School Update

snoggedI probably don't do these as much as I should considering the stress and frustration levels of being a grad student should really equate nicely to the personal venting space that is a journal.
Honestly, though, I like the aspect of LJ where I post my fanfiction and my artwork. My involvement in fandom is how I relax and de-stress from the grad school stuff.
But just in case you wanted to know...this week has been particularly stressful on the grad school front because it's midterm time!
For my Ethics class, I need to:
-complete my Take-Home Exam for Monday 10/13 (which consists of about 40 multiple choice and 4 essays)
- write my consultation paper (5 pages) with my partner, Tim by Monday 10/20
- Read Ch. 1 and 2 of the Doughterty text (which is at least 50 pages because it's a textbook and they always like being extra wordy)
For my Techniques of Research class, I need to:
- not maim my professor (this woman shouldn't be allowed to work with students. period. But I'll save that for an extra special rant)
- fill out my pointless worksheet (I feel like I'm in high school again)
- track down more literature about substance abuse treatment for women so that I can write my rough draft literature review.
For my Marriage and Family class, I have:
- chapters to read in two of our textbooks (at least 25 pages a piece for however many there are)
- keep reading the Family Crucible (which is awesome and interesting)
- and prepare for our midterm on 10/16 by completing the study guide
I think that sums it up okay.
What I know is that my social life is going to be intensely limited for the next two weeks.
But I can do this...and I'm going to be awesome at it.

Then there was that body. Hidden away under frumpy sweaters and tights, but he knew it was there. It was all for him, to touch, to taste.
The bell rang and students filed out of the classroom. He filed in. She hadn't even recognized his presence when he grabbed her from behind, pulling her tightly against him.
She only struggled for a moment before recognizing his familiar embrace. She arched her neck submissively, whimpering as fangs struck the delicate flesh her move uncovered.
Then he was lifting her, pushing at her skirt and tearing the crotch of her tights. His erection was freed and he eased inside her wet heat.
"That's a good girl, Willow. All wet for Daddy."
"Yes, Daddy. Oh god, harder." She whimpered as he thrust, dropping her head to the desk and holding on tightly.
When she finally lost control and came, she bit down on her arm to muffle the noise. He felt no such compunction and yelled as he shot his seed deep inside her.
Willow rose shakily, spinning around to him. "Hello, baby."
She raised up on her tiptoes and ran her fingers through his dark hair. "Hello, Angelus."
