A little early for the pub, but I had an exam yesterday, get at me.

In the process of doing all of my end-of-semester scheduling, I came to realize that, assignment-wise, I have 3 papers and 3 exams standing between me and the end of my second to last semester as an undergrad.

I've re-made my resume. I know that I'm 22. I know that it would be unreasonable for anyone, including myself, to expect me to have a big beefy resume. I know that part of the reason it looks so skimpy is the fact that I've had the same job for 3 years, which is actually a point in my favor, because it shows consistency. Add that to the fact that I own my own business, at 22, and I should be fairly confident in my resume, and it's (my) value. But it's still really concise. And maybe part of the reason I'm so concerned about it is because I'm a little self-conscious about how quickly and easily my professional value can be summed up.

And I've been battling a viral upper respiratory infection for the better part of a week now, and it's making all of the other stuff that I have to do more difficult.
