Just me whining about stuff. Feel free to skip.
I got the name "Brienne" in the Neopets name clearings. Hi, I am a nerd.
In other news, I lost the auction for grail-cune. It was a bit depressing, since I was the high bidder with five minutes left and things were looking good... but then two Japanese bidders got into a bidwar and the auction kept extending until one of them BINed it. Why anyone would BIN something in the last five minutes is beyond me. (Also, this broken leg Suicune sold for almost twice as much as the last one I saw, which was in like new condition. I will never understand Pokemon collectors...)
Actually, life in general is kind of depressing. Nothing incredibly bad has happened, per se, but I'm super exhausted and stressed out. Classes are piling the work on me, job interviews are just around the corner, I'm more homesick than I've been in several years... and it's barely the third week of school! Not to mention, I can't shake the feeling that my pessimism and anxiety are starting to alienate me from my friends. One of my professors had to tell me to calm down. Apparently I was stressing him out.
I just wish I could find a way to deal with the stress. I don't mind the occasional crappy weeks (the two weeks leading up to finals are always painful), but if this is going to become a constant thing, I don't think I can handle it.
Thank goodness that One Piece comes out on Wednesdays. That and Star Driver are the two things keeping me sane and semi-optimistic at the moment.
