Apparently I need deadlines like I need air.
Today I stayed home, feeling physically miserable because I have 58 papers to grade. (Hooray for two drop-outs! Less to grade!)
So I cancel class and tell myself: YOU MUST FINISH AT LEAST TWO CLASSES WORTH OF PAPERS TODAY.
But this is not enough of a deadline for myself, and [...]

My life still feels like a swirling mess of disorganization and craziness, but I’m hoping to straighten it all out very very soon.
Happy Valentine’s Day, by the way. I enjoyed it by playing WoW with the hubby all day long, sitting around in pajamas, and knowing that those actitivies were absolutely acceptable as bonding events [...]

I can’t get off my lazy ass, ladies and gents.
I just can’t do it.
I’ve been skating by with the smallest amount of work possible each day, I’m still feeling sick from this week/weekend, I’m still needing more sleep than I should. What the fuck?
I feel like such a loser, I haven’t gotten on top of [...]

And I realize that these papers are really bad.
I mean REALLY REALLY BAD.
I’m a nice grader, and I’ve given more D’s/C-’s/F’s on these drafts than any other paper I’ve ever had.
What in the fuck is up with this?
I really really don’t need to be slogging through 22 failures tonight because their fucking sorority party or [...]

all this time spent watching the shows i watch, the movies i love, reading the books i can’t get enough of, and i’m starting to wonder…
if i feed off of others’ pain.
i don’t want to cause it, i don’t want to instigate it or trigger it, but i thrive off of ingesting it.
this sounds a [...]

J. is down for the count.
What started as a possible poison ivy rash or something similar progressed into a myriad of small, horribly itchy bumps that covered over half of his body by last night. This morning he went to the doctor and was told it was a viral infection, and most likely he is [...]

My mom called me the other day and, as we discussed our worsening financial situation, she expressed her concern for our future:
“I’m worried about you going into a PhD program. How long can you and J. live like poor churchmice? How much longer until you’re actually earning what you should be?”
And my worried echo hers, [...]

Do you KNOW WHAT THIS IS????
It’s my Beta Key for WotLK in action, baby! Yeah!
*does a Beta dance, involving much squirming and a bit of jigging*
High fives to those of us who know what this means.
To those who don’t: It’s WICKED cool.
Who says I have to do actual work? I’m playing WoW for the next [...]
so you've said.
