Stressful
Stressful
Stressing a bit more
Stress? Did you say stress?
What can I do?
A little panic attack happening here. Not enough time, so little time. Need more. Tired too. So much responsibility - sometimes I believe I should have listened to those people that often told me I was crazy for doing it all. But, I never listen anyway. Too damn stubborn.
Stubborn or proud. Could be both.
Need to find some way to relax. I've been getting those bad migraines again and constant worry in pit of stomach. It's that time of the year again. Makes you question why you put yourself into that corner.

Thanksgiving Break!
Well, I was on duty last night - had friends over and about 6 of us played games all night and then at midnight went to bed.
Today, I can leave whenever I want to, going to wait and see when D wakes up and what he's going to be up to. Maybe a breakfast outing? :)
I'll be gone until Saturday or Sunday - I have those papers to write!
Have a great week/end everyone!!

Renee! I found the Link!
Now, see if this reminds you of someone! This is "Richard Branson" on The Daily Show. I think it IS a British thing :)
Let it take a second to upload onto computer and then look for about 2/3 of the way in when he leans back with his arms behind his head... THEN see what you think :0)

Kookiness!
It's finally snowing... or snraining. Not sure - but it IS wet snow falling, just that it is rain on the ground. About time, it's been really wierd to have such nice weather for this long.
All I have left for classes before Thanksgiving is my German class on monday and Probs in Lit Crit- and then I am free!!
hrmmm what has been happening:
All I have left for classes before Thanksgiving is my German class on monday and Probs in Lit Crit- and then I am free!!
hrmmm what has been happening:
- teaching - going great, were behind but we caught up this week
- personally - "shhhhh!", conversations, questions, and snuggliness - so flippin' ticklish, gah!
- Halo2 is too much fun, so is the new Lord of the Rings game.. argh!
- movies tnight, some snuggles
- perhaps tomorrow to a party for Dan at my mom's house.
- Been having great time with floor - still very social. A little bad last night from people who shouldn't be on our floor... but I'm not about to camp out in the hallway :P
Library will be seeing me this weekend. Many, many, many papers to do.
Writing one for my Problems in Literary Criticism and Theory - I am hoping something to do with The Cenci and the socialistic view of how the drama/tragedy should be seen within context of the social hierarchy and perhaps a little feministic struggle within to discuss Beatrice's treatment (sexually and mentally) by her father and society.
The other paper is in my Seminar in American Short Stories - something about the Reader-Response criticism applied to A Rose for Emily by Faulkner. Very curious to see how readers respond and what it was perhaps intended to do by the author (not sure on second part).
Fun, huh?! :D

/yawn
Nap time atm. Little sleepy on account of most of my office lights are turned off and the song on the radio is reaaaaallly slow.
To do tonight - type up paper, German Homework, and... I dunno.
We have Thursday off and so it's going to be a nice day tomorrow. Tonight, however, may be a different story on account of the Halo2 game coming out a few nights ago. Everyone has been hiding out in their rooms, slaughtering things left and right. Even D got into the carnage when I went with him to grab up his copy. He and another resident played last night - hopefully enough sleep for his 6am class, cough cough. hehe
Tomorrow, the RAs in Oak and Pine are going to head to T-Juans for social time. That should be absolutely wonderful. I need a good strong daquiri. hehehe Amy said she'd have one if I did - so we will see how they are tomorrow. And PS - Thank God were being paid this friday /wipes brow.
YAY, I get to leave my office in 10 minutes. I been working on papers this whole two hours and need a break!
Run away, run away!

Fun in the computer labs
It seems that my internet explorer has decided to stop working once again and so I am left with no working internet.
I wonder what this means - did I offend said Internet... did I break it by having too many online webcomics... did I somehow get some wierd virus? I sure hope not. Perhaps it could be caused by the fact that I haven't turned my computer off in about 4 weeks or so. maybe it's my computers way of saying, "Holy cow - gimme a break before I start burning some of my internal organs!" Can a computer have a breakdown like a person? Do my wires get crossed? I bet that's what is going on now! I am multi-tasking too often!! Turn me off, let me sleep or at least let my screensaver go on. but, no. I don't have that program installed, and so I end up having three to four programs running at once and I end up freezing at VERY inopportune times... without SAVING! What a mess.
And so, I sit here in the Oak computer lab at 9pmish.... not to mention the fact that I can sit and stare at D as he works on his Math equations which are painful to even try and contemplate. Give me Derrida, Plato, Aristotle, and even Freud. Don't tell me what those differential equations mean - I sure try and understand, but it's all greek to me. ;-)
I wanted to quote something from my literary class tonight --- and well, cripes... I have nothing. It's as if I come out of the class bursting with ideas and sleepy dreams, but as soon as I sit down at the brainwashing glare of a computer and the harsh lights of reality... I lose it all. Afterall, beauty is in the eye of the beholder - and my beauty comes from the manipulation of text on a little screen by the little lift and fall of my fingers upon 107 little buttons that conncet to some little computer brain in the computer.
D just asked me what I'm doing... I was counting the buttons on the keyboard... hehe I think he is a bit confused.

Even less time?
And, yes, those were things I had been doing to create my lack of time.
This Saturday I will be in Alan's dorm room all night - Linden is going on retreat and I get to hang out on his floor. :-)
I teach class in about 8 minutes - I am not so sure on what will happen today - I predict a falling apart of plans and a mystified reaction to the questions, "Where have all the students gone?" or "What do you mean you didn't bring your rough draft?" We will see what happens.
I have been excessively tired these past days. Exhaustion of some sort. My mind just wants to take a nice long break - maybe I could hibernate until Spring. That would be nice, wake up all refreshed and skinny... hehehe
I am a little frustrated with some things in my life and just trying to stay afloat again - I think it's from the mid-semester blues. I think Thanksgiving needs to get here sooner - we're all crying for that week.
Hopefully this weekend will fill me up with energy again - I need it!
