I was talking to my manager, trying to explain to her how if a powder becomes airborne it can be very explosive. We were in an airport terminal. Some guy was making big clouds of some tan, flour-like powder. She really wasn't getting it at all, and just kept explaining it. Then she looks down and points at my hip. I look where she was pointing and see this thing clinging to my leg that looks something like a cross between a moth and a frog. It was about the size of a grapefruit. I used the giant shovel I was holding to brush it off, but I didn't see where it went. I looked back at my manager to see if she saw it, and she looked frightened. When I looked back at my leg, I only saw one of it's feet sticking out of my pocket. My manager quickly tried to grab it's foot and pull it back out, but it was too late. I felt an incredible amount of pressure in my hip and collapsed to the ground screaming. I could feel it burrowing inside me. The pain was so intense that I passed out and woke up still screaming in my head. It took me a long time to realize that it was just a dream and there wasn't actually something crawling around inside me.
All I do is set myself up for failure. Most currently, I have a 30 page lab report due tomorrow morning that I haven't started yet as well as an exam and a homework assignment. I also work tonight. I am pulling an all nighter.
I need to drop a class this semester now too. Hopefully I can hold it down to just one class so I can stay full time.
there are a lot of things I need to change. I need to quit smoking, I need to start eating mildly healthy food, I need to start keeping my room clean, I need to quit my job, I need to start doing homework, I need to go to class, I still need to buy my textbooks, I need to stop wasting time.
