I'm starting to regret choosing to work on Friday mornings from 9-1. Usually I have no trouble getting out of bed, since I get a decent six to seven hours of sleep, but today (this whole week, in fact) has been more torturous than usual. My body just did not want to get up. I wish I could stop time and try to recover from this heavy fatigue, but it seems like I won't have an opportunity at all this weekend. Today I have to get as much of my schoolwork/thesis work done because I am heading to New York--to see the Spice Girls!!! Burst of preteen joy aside, it's going to be a hectic weekend. I will arrive in New York by 5pm; hang out with Jackie Saturday night; hopefully wake up in time to rush over to Queens for Sunday mass and to see my family; see the concert Sunday night; be on a bus back to DC by 8am (so that I can at least make it to work by 1pm). I am so so so hyped about the fact that I'm going to see the Spice Girls, but its timing is making me feel exhausted already.
At this point in the semester, I would wish for spring break as well, but spring break means having my thesis draft done, and I do not want to be anywhere near that date. Today marks three weeks until "D-Day" and I probably have a quarter of my thesis written. Not polished, not good, not tightly connected--just written. The OCD editor in me is fuming. The hardest part is carving out a time to write every day, and not getting up until I have my goal done, whether it's a section or a page or even doing research. Well, fine, I do get up for an inordinate amount of caffeinated drinks and snacks and other small distractions, but at least I try not to. I apologize in advance to my friends and roommates, because my new goal in life is to be a hermit. Once this weekend is over.
Not to end on a totally negative point, but here's an idiotic, yet still funny Youtube video:
