I got lost for two hours trying to get to my aunt's house. Seriously. Two hours. I've never driven in that part of the island before and driving here is so confusing, so I got off the expressway in the wrong place, then I wound up going in a huge circle to a town I'd already crossed through and the whole time I kept calling my aunt, trying not to ( Read more... )

It has come to my attention that I could write the intro for this essay today, which is great (except for my writs hurting for no apparent reason), but I was looking forward to avoiding it for another day. Oh well. It'll be better in the long run. Now I hope I get some fic writing done. Which I did do yesterday (1,200 words) despite one of the most ( Read more... )

This seems to have now become my new motto. Just one more essay, one more week and I'm FREE from the tyranny of essays forever! Except for... you know... those... what are they? Three three hour long exams I have in May. And, oh, a 12,000 word dissertation in September that terrifies me and makes me want to run away to California. I have never ( Read more... )

I can't believe the amount of energy I have right now. I feel like bouncing. Hell, I am bouncing. Yesterday I was a congested, sleepy, whiny mess. I spent the whole day in bed with very brief periods of ambling about the room just to get my blood circulating. I watched 8 episodes of Arrested Development, 2 of 30 Rock, took a nap from 8 to 11, sat ( Read more... )

Granted, it's only been two nights that I've gone to bed so late, but I really should try not to on days I have class. I've got to leave in 40 minutes and I fell as if I just got up. And it's 2:52!

School work didn't really get done yesterday. I took like two hours to get through 40 pages. Not good. and I could theoretically finish the research ( Read more... )

Which is great, because there's no nausea or floor wobbling below. I just came back from that Bolivian Carnival I mentioned earlier. Basically, it was a lot of music and a lot of dancing and I loooove dancing. I really have to do this more often. I went with a girl from my class, her husband, and a couple of friends of hers, all Bolivian except for ( Read more... )

I've done NOTHING in the whole day. Nothing. No problem with cramps this time. I downed two Aleve as soon as I felt them creeping up on me, but god, the moods. It's driving me nuts. I've spent the whole day watching Big Love and Deadwood and I might watch Queer as Folk later, though I feel well enough now to get some work done, but I majorly don't ( Read more... )

I finally washed my clothes. I'm so lazy when it comes to these things, especially when it costs 2 pounds ( Read more... )

I'm so tired of being in this little room ( Read more... )

It's been three days since I posted? Wow. That never happens anymore. Maybe it's because I'm not freaking out over anything right now. I should be. Everyone else is, but for some reason I find it intelligent to leave the dissertation proposal to the last minute. Speaking of, I need to e-mail my Aztec course professor. I already know the subject, I ( Read more... )
