FYI, I am alive. Still.
Why is that the title of so many of my entries? Oh, wait, I think I know.
So, here's how life's been going:
1. Winter break was FANTASTIC. I didn't do *anything* related to school, and it was super-relaxing except when it was STUPID FUN because so many great people showed up to hang out with me. WELL PLAYED. When they weren't around, I was reading books and working out and it was GREAT.
2. Sadly, this is followed by a)withdrawal and b)returning to school. And just like someone who's fallen off the workout wagon, I found myself out of shape and way, way off my game. Luckily I have Cameron around to give me backrubs and encouragement and cook me fantastic dinners and look attractive (decorative?) lounging around in my apartment or at the coffee shop, working on woodworking plans while I spaz out and/or grade papers.
3. After a while, though, I feel back on top of it. YES. I am killing everyone. TAKE THAT IGNORANCE, LIMITED LINEAR PROGRESSION OF TIME, AND LIMITED RESOURCES!!! Booyah!
4. THEN I get frustrated with stupid kids' repetitive stupidities, and I am WANTING TO REALLY KILL EVERYONE.
5. And then, like I did tonight, I mediate my rage by eating a pizza, watching The Simpsons, and updating my livejournal. And life is (more or less) good again.
I guess that it's not altogether a terrible system. I just wish I had time for more writing, reading, exercising, and, well, let's face it... SLEEPING.
On the plus side, I am really, really excited about next year, really feeling pretty good about my job, and TOTALLY ready to kick butt at parent-teacher conferences tomorrow. And the hot bath I'm about to go take while I read Lies My Teacher Told Me, which is totally my new jam--this is a really fantastic book.
I'm also going to try to go back to the workout tomorrow. Sadly, I can't go with Amy, because I have to be at school early. BOOOO. Whatever. Getting up at 5:30 is totally reasonable. Right?
....right??
