Sunburns are NOT good, Cookie.

I'm a klutz. I stub my toe more often than one would think possible...

Hope you're getting out a bit today, Em.

Tiny toes also confuse balance aspects...

I know Addy I was wondering why my forehead hurt while I showered... Then I recgnized the sunburnt sting

I was going to take a shower, but they're cleaning the bathroom. I think I'll get lunch first.

Say a little prayer...I'm about to be off to get ready for my jury (voice final). It, for whatever reason, is always more stressful than it should be...

Exams scheduled from 1-7, three hours each, though I don't think either will take that long. Cramming for tomorrow's which is at 1, but I have somewhere to be at 10, and after I take care of that, I don't think I'll be able to do much studying for the rest of the morning/early afternoon. Then I have a take home essay exam to turn in by Thursday evening, which I haven't started yet. I also haven't read the plays the essays are about. All while trapped in the emotional hell I'm being put through and can't escape. Great.

I don't have the self-discipline to push myself to work until I know everything I need to know, or have written the best essay I can, etc. I push myself to that point only if it doesn't interfere with me getting enough sleep, or something.

Sooooo banal.

Good luck, Amber.

Jumping on the bandwagon of complainers, since, isn't that what this thread is all about?

My mother is not being helpful AT ALL. She thinks she is, and has good intentions, but she makes me want to pull my hair out. She just doesn't have the right thing to say. I told her that I felt like my head was going to explode. Now, I didn't think that was a particularly weird thing for me to say, as it's finals, and I wasn't even really complaining, just...commenting. Her response is "it's college". Really mom? No sh*t.

Her obsession with helping me pack my stuff is a whole different story. She asked me if I packed up my coffee pot, something that will take all of 5 minutes. She actually wants to come up here tonight when I will be studying to put the coffee pot in a box. Does she think I'm really all that incapable? ARGH.

Could you explain to her as nicely as possible that you appreciate the sentiment, but that she's not being helpful and you can do it yourself?

[Fantabulous428]

Posted: 5/9/06 at 11:32am

I don't know. She wants to come up tonight; she wants to come up tomorrow. I know she just wants to help, but a. I can do it myself and b. I really don't want her looking through all of my stuff.

I'm home sick. Not cool.

I haven't gotten lunch or showered or studied for my exam. My room is hot, but I don't want to open my window because the pollen is really bad today. Bleh.

Yeah, it's on, but it's really just recirculating the warm air.

I'm going to get food.

I really don't want to think about the fact that my parents are coming tomorrow, because my room is completely trashed. There's only so much I can pack now, because my parents are bringing boxes with them.

I have no idea how I'm going to take this exam in the condition I'm in, aside from the fact that I'm unprepared.

Posted: 5/9/06 at 12:42pm

A certain something came in the mail.

I'm freaking.

I need to finish a book by seventh period today, but it's so not going to happen.

Sparknotes.

I'm not wearing pajamas for the first time in almost two days. I finally put on actual clothes.

Congrats!!!!

Too many people don't know this thread exists.

They probably don't know the meaning of the word banal.

The good news: I survived. I got my big research paper back after the exam, and I did much better on it than I thought I did. I was able to concentrate on the exam much better than I had anticipated.

The bad news is *why* I was able to focus; I was absolutely freaking out. I was so freaked out that my brain just had no room for worry about anything else. I had to BS the entire exam (three essays). The two essays were regarding books that I (a) didn't finish reading and (b) didn't bring with me. So, I did the best I could with the lecture slides and the notes, but I really just bullsh*tted almost the entire exam. My TA is a fairly lenient grader, though, and I did well on the midterm and the paper, so hopefully I can still pull an okay grade in the class.

I have a bit over an hour before my next exam.

I walked into Health Services over an hour ago. All I wanted was to make an appointment - and they somehow convinced me to sit down and wait. I waited for 45 minutes when I needed to be studying, and now I have to go back on Thursday.

I just called my mother. Three times during our conversation, she cut me off and started yelling at my brother, instead of listening to my answers to her questions.

My jury went really well...YAY!

Now to get some chocolate and start my percussion project (blech)

Posted: 5/9/06 at 3:13pm

Emcee--that happens to me all the time...except it's usually my father commenting on what my mother is telling me. It's why try not to call when they're both home.

My random thing....I went to get out costumes for my 5th graders from the closet today and found a dead, decomposing mouse in the box with the wigs! Ewww! It was so gross! Of course, the kids were fascinated! I was just glad to have a custodian to deal with it!
