For whatever reason, I find it easier to internalize my workload by what's due, rather than when. I think part of it is because I view deadlines competitively; I want to beat them, not match them. So while it's absolutely true there are two weeks of classes left (and I might even say that in conversation), I'm really thinking:
(12) Classes to prepare for and attend
(2.5) Decision support system assignments
(1) Group presentation on AOL
(1) Term paper on the music industry
(1) Group presentation on creating and measuring value
(1) Term paper for Social Enterprise
(1) Final exam
