Like a mushroom: in the dark, under poo
Today has been a shitty, shitty day so far.
I slept in later than I wanted to...somehow my internal clock has shifted to going to sleep at 1am and waking up at 10am.
When I tried to get dressed I suddenly hated all my clothes & the way I look in them. It's a fat day today. I think I've gained about 15 pounds since I started at the Deli, which makes no sense because I am way more active now than I was last year. I rode my bike to work every day in the summer! Trust me, it isn't muscles being heavier than fat. I've got a little muffin top going on. Too many soft gingerbread cookies I suppose. Must get on a healthy kick somehow.
Then I got to school & had a test in my 412 class. Basically we had an hour to examine two problems (one of which was offering a celiac-friendly menu at UVIC--yeah!) come up with three research questions for each problem and then two sources for each question. Then we had to defend each source and offer a search string or research path that we would use. My mind seriously went blank...about 50% of my sources were google-based.
Yesterday I did the practice for the test & found it pretty easy. I guess it's different when you're under timed pressure & the questions seem more obscure. I haven't choked on a test (leaving about 40% blank and just running out of time) since like first year chem midterms (I seem to recall hiding a 26% under my bed & trying to forget about it). I know how to research...I know how to use the library...I'm in 5th year!
I have an essay due on thursday I must MUST get started on. I don't want to do the Wednesday panic-rush I usually do. I'm so over being in school. I don't care much for jumping through hoops anymore. At least there are only 9 or so more weeks to go; I just hope my lack of enthusiasm doesn't result in C's for my last semester.
