The lab report is done. Handed in. Fini! As such, I took the time tonight to take a bath, have a hot cup of tea, and do a little reading. It is my way of getting back to reality, getting away from the stress, and making myself someone worth dealing with once again. Hopefully it will have worked. Now I must finish it off with a good night's rest.

Brain Break: I've been writing this lab report far too long. My main issue is that the fewer things I have pressing on my agenda, the easier it is to put them off. This leads to one task taking a much longer time than it should. This is caused by the task becoming exponentially more important in your mind, and in turn exponentially more time gets spent working on it. That is until *cue music* Dum, da dum, dum, dum! The due date arrives. Due date on the current pressing matter: Tuesday, November 18, 4:30 PM.

Aaahhh...feeling much better now. The whinning will end, briefly. I called Mom, had a good night's sleep, and got some work done today. It's amazing how much better a little accomplishment makes you feel. I have to accomplish more today or else I'll be in deep doo-doo. Stupid lab needs to get done. I think I should have done it on Thursday and left the weekend to play. I say I'm going to do that every week, and it never happens.

I was feeling like a caged animal. I just got back from the trough, ate some nasty slop. B and I are going to the store, even though I should be working on my Fluids lab. I need to get out. It's Saturday, it's shopping day. We need to make our once a week grocery run. How pathetic are we?

Feeling garbled. Got that whole cut off from the world hurtin goin on. I guess it's my own damn fault. I always feel like that when I come out of a super busy spell. Unfortunately I still have work to do, but am having a hell of a time being satisfied with the rest of life. I can't complain too much. B and I went out on Thursday night and had a great time. Dionisus was playing at the Cellar (campus bar). I have to admit though, we left almost right after they started to play. Wintersleep and Jill Barber played before them, and kicked ass. If you ever hear Jill Barber is playing, go check her out. She sounds like a total airhead, but she is an unbelievable singer/songwriter. When her set was over, I was like: more, I want more.

Muaahhhh!!! This is the week to wish modern technology would burn in hell. (Momentarily that is, we all know I can't live without my precious computer.) Unfortunately, a week ago today, my computer crashed...miserably. My registry got unfixably fucked (unfixable by my live in help that is). All is well now, thank goodness for B partitioning my hard drive and making life oh so much easier in loverly situations like these. Now my problem is that for some reason my printer is printing at about one page per minute, no joke. Lucky me I picked now to try and print Abdel the swell's notes off webct. I wanna go play on my bike and get diirty while some little techno fairy comes and makes all my problems go away.
