I'm in one of those "bit off more than I can chew" states at the moment. I have two five-page papers due this week, a spanish test on friday, a spanish presentation on monday, a spanish composition to write by next wednesday, and then finals. I studied for my last astronomy test (ok, only for an hour before the test, but still!) and got a mere 73, yes I said 73%. Now I have to get an 84 on the final to get a B. Bah. I pretty much have A's locked in for my Non-Traditional Families, and Learning and Memory classes, and I SHOULD have a B in Spanish. I thought I actually had a shot at an A in Spanish, but it's just so hard to read the way she grades.
I am so sleep-deprived it is not even funny. My head is pounding, I'm too tired to blink my eyes, and I feel like I could verbally tear anyone to shreds who dares have a conversation with me. It's not even that time of the month. I'm kicking myself for agreeing to do an overnight shift this weekend, but it's my co-workers bday and I know she'd do the same for me. Us few female staff need to be there for each other. lol What makes it worse is that sunday, after my over-night shift I've decided to still go to church for the 11 am service. I was going to just skip it (and I still will if I don't manage to get ANY sleep during the overnighter), but it just seemed to ironic that the sermon about witchcraft, etc would be the one I have to miss. I feel like I'm sort of being tested. Also it's B's blackbelt exam, and I know it's really important for him to have his sister here to see. I plan on getting some sleep during the overnighter, meeting L. at church (her moms caretaker agreed to take her!!!! Apparently shes a blacksliding Christian and has been looking for a reason to go to church!, bringing her back to watch B.'s exam while I go home and get some sleep (good luck B., but I'm still going home and sleeping through your test lol). I need to drive into San Antonio again Monday night anyway, so i can bring her back home then. Oh how I wish I'd just leap back into my comfort zone again sometimes. lol This is my life though, and it definitely keeps me from being self-focused.
Stryke is at the vet's office until Thursday to be spayed and treated for an ear infection (from the ear mite medication she was on). I don't know how im going to sleep without claws digging into my ass (yes she enjoys sleeping on my ass). She weighs 6.5 pounds now, which is huge compared to the 1.75 pounds she was when I first brought her home. I'm sure she's still a little small for her age, but she's doing alright, and definitely holds her own with my giant 13 pounder of a cat. lol
Boonies Nachos,
