midterms already

I have a midterm due/scheduled for this week in every one of my classes. IT'S ONLY THE FOURTH WEEK OF TERM! This is not acceptable, profs!

However, I'm actually not too terribly worried about it. Two of them are papers, one due tomorrow (well, today now, I guess), and the other due Friday, and the other is an actual exam, also on Friday. The papers are only five pages each, and the exam will apparently be short answer, so I can deal with that. I've got the paper due tomorrow (today) done already—in fact, I finished it at like, 4:00 this afternoon (woo, getting things done early!). And I've finished all my other assigned reading and daily work up through Tuesday. So actually, I'm way ahead for the time being. It's kind of a new and wonderful feeling. All I've got to do is write the other paper (poetry analysis—no big thing) and study for the Friday exam (I think I'm going to draw up outlines—it shouldn't be too arduous a task), plus any reading that gets assigned on Tuesday or Wednesday. If I can manage to stay on top of things and not get too cocky, this week might actually be kind of relaxing.
