lovely life

First week of classes is over.  One essay still waiting to be written, paws up, looking at me with big doleful eyes.  Lots of studying and reading to be done over the weekend.  Still, it feels great to  be back at school and in the office with everybody again.  Gives me a great big dose of happy.

Just think, in four months I'll have (if all goes well) a Masters in Bellyaching.  I'm getting great at it, but as we all know, practice makes perfect.  I also have the encouragement of my friends, which makes all the difference! :)  

Oh, stress levels.  There's the point where you feel yourself falling behind, but you still think you can catch up if you work really hard.  Then you get to the panic stage where there's no fucking way you can do everything and you're so so screwed oh my god ohmygod i can't breathe.  Then you kind of pass over to the point where everything is suddenly hilarious and you've strangely stopped worrying about anything... and your paper's not done and it's for tomorrow but... hey look at this great video on YouTube! Hahahahahaahahaaaaa!!!!!!!!

Yeah.  I've been on THAT high for the past couple days.  Now I'm like... literary theory, why SURE I'll read up on that for fun tonight!  You're right, there's no way in God's name I will ever finish Nestor's readings this semester!! Isn't it gonna be awesome?!?

Hahahaha.  I just hope this strange high doesn't wear off that quickly.  It's great for keeping reality at bay.
