I will be screwed come the restart of school

Christmas Break (or should I say, Winter Recess, to be more politically correct) has been awesome. Albeit it’s only a week away from the freaks which I am forced to associate with daily, but still freedom from them! :P
To top that off, the end of the first semester is drawing nearer and nearer. But as a result of this, I have a feeling that the work-load is going to double if not quadruple. I am quite surprised however, at the amount of homework I had over vacation. Only 40 note-cards for an American Literature essay. Considering I am taking classes like AP Spanish, I am surprised that I only received that assignment! :D
Over the course of break, my sleeping schedule is getting more and more messed up (as I’m sure many other people’s are too). Going to bed at four or five in the morning and waking up in mid to late afternoon. I’m expecting it to lead to my downfall come next week. Last night, as I’m sure everyone knows, Saddam Hussein was executed (I’m expecting to hear nothing but this for quite some time). My sister and I, both interested in what the result of this would be were watching CNN last night and we became quite uneasy.

Only hours following the execution, a car-bomb exploded at an Airport in Madrid, Spain as well as increased violence in Iraq. The fact that across the bottom of the screen, messages of fear of repercussions in the U.S. did even more to instill this feeling within us. I myself have no idea as to what will occur, but I am pretty sure it won’t be good.
