the yuppie inside

i was awake at 5am. lay there for an hour, with a stomache ache as usual, annoyed to see someone else asleep, and freaking out about the gre, which i did not study for last night as intended. i did learn a little multiplication though, so at least i made minor progress. also, i totally unnecessarily shared a small chair with someone who didn't seem to mind, and was fed deep dish pizza and chocolate. i'm sure that's progress by some definition.

finally fell asleep right before the alarm went off at 6, then walked through the frigid chicago weather (i miss north carolina) to starbucks, where i got a soy vanilla latte, and narrowly avoided the urge to use splenda. i spent as much on coffee and a bagel as i do on lunch. wtf.

spent an hour working on fractions. i think nobody is allowed to spend time with me from now until feb 17th unless they have a book to read or they're feeding me.

think i'm going to apply for family practice np. three out of three people interviewed yesterday agree, independently, and came out with the same points as each other and as i was thinking myself. mainly, i can always get another degree for therapy, and i'll already have prescriptive authority.

the return to school begins. this degree will be at least a five year project. at least i can work after two years.

what i want to know is, when did insomnia become by body's preferred method for dealing with anxiety? what a strange turn of mental events.
