low
i'm so physically and emotionally drained from the weekend. yesterday i was paralyzed with a headache that survived three doses of aleve, and today i'm just revelling in my own self pity. my body is tired from sleeping, but all i want to do is sleep. my mind is begging me to read or do homework, but mindless television is so much more appealing.
i had to write a short story for my creative writing class which made me nervous and self conscious all week. this morning was the peer review for my story and it went surprisingly well. the people in my class, and my group in particular, can actually speak fairly intelligently about writing which allows me to take their criticism to heart. this is the first time in my college career that i've valued the opinion of my peers. they had excellent ideas for revision that gave me the last dose of direction i needed to make the endeavor a success. i've never written anything creatively that i felt was truly reflective of my writing ability, but this story has been a boost of self esteem and a much desired starting point.
i think my social life has hit a wall... retrograde from going out every night, i just want to hide under covers this week with my school books and my woobies. after class this morning i came home and replenished my body's beer induced vitamin deficiency with OJ and cheerios, then i watched the mid day news in bed. there's nothing like dozing off and then opening my eyes to a pug tucked under my arm, a cat wrapped around my head, a mutty mcmutterson at my feet, and a miss kitty cuddled up with her. those animals bring me so much happiness.
brad came in this weekend and brought me a big-eyed girl picture that he found at unique. i am so lucky to have a friend like him. above all, i value my oldest and dearest friendships, those that have the most history. i was too consumed with a headache to show my excitement and gratitude, laying on fraiz's air matress in my pajames stinking to high heaven, but brad stayed for a short visit nevertheless, and that brought my spirits up considerably.
the theme of the coming week is live simply and quietly. today is dedicated to rebuilding my energy and my spirits, then i'm going to keep to myself and my schoolwork. i'm going to eat healthy dinners every night, get to bed before leno comes on, and have positive and sober social interactions. i'm going to make sure i'm good to myself.
