Oh, how I love thee, my portfolio!

I’ve been working on my MA portfolio. I should have started working on it a long time ago, but I keep thinking there is time. There is not time anymore; it is due in a month. The most horrible part of it all is that I actually have more work than I thought I did. If I had realized that the two sections of my analytical paper were not reconcilable, I wouldn’t have put working on it off so long. So instead of having six pages to write on one paper and five on the other, I have thirteen to write on one and five on the other. Lovely. On top of that, I have all the work for my new classes. For instance, I have a 10 page paper due on Monday and I don’t even have the slightest idea what I am going to write about. I know it isn’t that bad, but I am getting really stressed out about it all. I am worried that I won’t graduate because my papers aren’t good enough. I feel a bit incapable. If I had someone to talk to about it, I think I would feel better. At least I might. Everyone is just annoyed that I am worrying. I don’t understand how they are not! If I don’t graduate, what am I going to do? It will be like I wasted these two years. But if they don’t graduate, it will be even worse! You can’t go to get your Ph.D. if you don’t have your MA!
