Monday

As in brain fried, not fried food.  The last week+ has been really intense and the next couple of days aren’t looking much better.  Right now I am taking a little time for myself (as I did yesterday) so I can gear up to do a lot of work today and tomorrow.  Last week was just packed full of homework and organization obligations.  I do like being busy, but I barely had a minute for myself.  Even this weekend was insane.

I briefly detailed my Friday, but on Saturday I awoke at 7:15 in order to be ready for leave for a suicide prevention walk at 8.  I helped set up and hung around until the walk actually began at 10.  I walked and then hurried back to campus to get ready for dancing at halftime.  I barely made it at the required time.  Then I watched the first half of the game and then danced at half.  It went pretty well, especially considering it was my first one.  Then I went to lunch with my mom and aunt at a nice Italian place I discovered.  A nice place in this town – I know, right?  Then back to campus and a potential BBQ, but I was too tired and had the worst headache in the world.  So I slept for 2-3 hours.  After that I found I’d missed a call from a dance girl inviting me out to dinner, and I felt bad and called her back.  Then I went over to my friend’s a little later to get ready for the dance.  I haven’t gotten girled-up in awhile so it was fun – would have been better if I’d known the girls a little better though.  I guess the only way I can get to know them is by hanging out with them, right?  Then we went to one of their house’s and drank a litte (and by little, I do mean a little – I wasn’t even buzzed unfortunately) and then walked to the dance.  It was really effing cold by this point.  It had been cold all day (and yes, I was out in it! :/) but the sun was in, and I was wearing a knee-length dress.  And of course, the dance was in a really open building with no heat.  It would have been a cool location if it was July.  But putting it there in October?  Someone is just really dumb.  They should let me plan their events.  So we stayed until almost 1 and then I headed back on the shuttles with this girl (my new “drinking buddy”).  Oh and I didn’t have my phone for most of the night so that was utterly frustrating.  So connected to technology, unfortunately.  (And of course when I recovered my phone the next day I had 5 texts, a missed call, and a v-mail.  So I was not entirely wrong to worry about not having it.)  When I got back to campus I briefly stopped by a room with my friendish and this other guy but then was too tired and cold so I went back to my room.

Overall it was an ok day but it would have been a fun day if it had been warmer.  And if it wasn’t following an intensely busy week.

Tomorrow I have a psych lab due and my weekly paper.  Then I have 2 exams on Wednesday.  At least after that I get to go home!  I am such homebody, I’m excited.

I have been getting headaches for the last 3 days.  Stress most likely.  And I have been dead yesterday and today – just unmotivated and tired and not up for dealing with people.  My sociability has all but disappeared and it’s all I can do to just be halfheartedly friendly.  And just a few hours ago I started considering actually doing all this work I have for the next couple of days.  I think the immediate-ness of it isn’t registering because I’m so burned out from last week.  Plus of course I have class tomorrow night for 2 hours and dance tonight and tomorrow night.  Doesn’t a girl deserve a break?

Can’t wait for the end of this week.  Absolutely cannot wait.  It’s going to be a blast, and more than that, super-relaxing.  Hopefully.  More likely I’ll be running around all of break and won’t relax at all.  But at least it will be fun rather than stressful.

Anywho, happy Monday.
