Leave me out with the waste
May. 12th, 2008 11:55 amWoke up with a headache again. Six days now. I'm sure my liver function is severely compromised and shit with all of the advil I've been taking. It's like...8000mgs a day. Which is bad. When I'm done with this paper, I'm not gonna read anything for a few days, and just spend the time sleeping or something. It just totally and completely fails being as I have this huge paper to write with all of these sources. Oh well, I'll get it done as best I can. There's nothing else I can do, really. Failure.
One more too go!
May. 11th, 2008 10:37 pmHeadache. Headache still here. Fail. But on the plus side, at least two of my classes are now done. I feel slightly bad for killing as many trees as I did, though. My journal was 60 pages, 10 for one story, two five page stories and four pages for my politics paper. All done with that though, now it's dinner, possibly a cat nap and then it's time to cozy up with some Dracula.

May. 11th, 2008 01:23 pmI have now had a headache for five days. It blows. I am, however nearly done with my politics paper, thank goodness. I just need to edit my story and print off the bazillion pages of my journal and then I'll just need to do my Dracula paper. Amy is my hero, however, and she has given me til Tuesday at noon if I need it. Hopefully I won't. Having a professor tell you that you suck is strangely liberating. It means there's no reason to really try. Woot for that.

May. 9th, 2008 03:49 pmSo, I really want this. Like woah. I'm trying to decide if I should buy it or not. Cause it would be truly awesome. http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/warfare/9bcb/ Hee.
Working on paper, doing some rereading of Dracula to be reminded of what, exactly I want to say.

I never drink....vine.
May. 8th, 2008 11:48 pmSo, not being very productive today. I read most of the day yesterday, which was stupid. I knew I was going past my point of tolerance but I pushed and now I'm fucked. Bad headache has made working on my papers kinda impossible. I'm taking a vicodin tonight and hopefully that'll make things better tomorrow. I'm gonna get up and do at least have of my Dracula paper, even if it kills me which it just might.
What have I become, my sweetest friend?
May. 7th, 2008 12:24 pmSo. Much. Finals. But I have now completed my first year of classes at MH. It's funny, cause there were so many places where I wasn't sure I was going to make it through the next class, never mind the next day of classes. It was rough, but I'm glad I did it. Watching all the stuff for the seniors has made me feel much better about my choice. And no matter how fucking bad my grades are, I will still have Mount Holyoke College on my diploma. And an awesome story to tell grad schools when they ask about my shitty grades. Heh.
I need to go home so I can download this fucking song and stop repeating it on youtube. Stupid music loss.
Also, I'm sad I woke up at 11:30. I'm gonna do some research and nap, I think.

Speaking words of wisdom: let it be.
May. 6th, 2008 09:55 amSo yeah, I've locked my last post, because I've receached a decision about it. I'm not going to think about it anymore, or talk about it anymore because doing both of those things gives it power over me, and I can't have that bullshit hanging over me during finals. Right now, the paper is tucked inside a box that's ready to go home, and when I get there, I'm going to set the fucker on fire. But before I do that, I wanna say that it's not the fact that it was a bad paper, it was the fact that she gave me a "A-" on content (she's one of those professors) and a "C-" on the writing, so I'm assuming that means I got a "B-" on the paper which is fine with me. I'm not thinking of it anymore.
Anyway, I hate days when both showers are filled when I need to take one. Fail. I'm so freaking sleepy. I really don't want to go to classes, but I totally have to. Oh well. I'm gonna go see if the showers are empty.
Drunken Dracula tonight! Call me and lemme know if you want in!

So much teh tired. I really need to budget my time better and stick to it. I'm also so incredibly buggered. This paper is such shit, she's gonna hate it and I'm gonna get another C. Oh well. *Sighs* At least I'll have something to turn in. I hate it when you use a word so much you're totally convinced you're spelling it wrong. Colonialism. Yeah.
So today is a good day...NOT to die.
Apr. 7th, 2008 05:29 pmYeah, this is a god damn rarity in my life: a good day. So, today all of the stuff with my professor not accepting my work got resolved...and I got a B fucking plus! Which makes my GPA like 3.6 or something. I also went and spoke to Weber, and he told me to turn SOMETHING in for credit and an A for my Henry James class, so I'm gonna be doing that tonight. I also spoke to Penny Gill, and she made me feel loads better. I also got nominated to be Vice-President of the FPSA and like...have decided for really sure, to stick it out and see what happens. I'm gonna join the paper with Steph, and like...do stuff and get the most of this experience.
So today is a good day NOT to die.

Apr. 5th, 2008 01:51 pmFor one glourious day, I have a 4.0 at MH. I got an A on my two credit independant study. Clearly, he did not even read it. As for the other shit...what does a 2 credit A, a D and a C make? I so don't wanna know. Man, I wish I had done the James paper. Maybe I should say fuck doing the reading for class and like...do my HJ paper and see if he'll take it. But it's so much fucking work. Oy. I dunno. I don't care.
I'm going home. Mount Holyoke has decided that I am apparently not fit for heat or something, I dunno. It's cold, I can't breath, I broke my tea cup and everything sucks.
I hate being sick.
OH BEST NEWS EVER?
THE ONE 13 PAGE PAPER I MANAGED TO GET DONE FOR MY CLASS? WELL, IT ISN'T GOING TO COUNT! OOOPS. YAY AUTOMATIC "F"s.
I hate everything.

Things made of win at this moment: me. So, I finished my paper, kicked serious butt at it and then kicked butt on my writing class assignment. (That class makes me feel so superior.) On top of which, my professor was sick and the TA let us out early.
Random thing about it, she emailed me to talk to the TA in case the TA didn't get her email. It's weird...cause why me, ya know?
Other things that are awesome? Having dinner tonight with Steph at Okaka and then ice cream at Herrels. But first: nap. Napping is godly.

So, things I fail at today? Napping. I got woken up early and then couldn't go back to sleep. Then I did brunch and like came back to work on my paper which gave me a headache which made me wanna nap but I couldn't get to sleep and now I'm going to go and see my TA about my crappy writing assignment to see if it like fufills what the professor wants it too. So now, vicodin, TA, then coming back and writing my paper before the last minute.
So, all that fucking goodness I was feeling about like....stuff? Like that I would go into the library and work on shit? I lied. I got another "C" and on my paper she just wrote about how my writing wasn't up to college level. I'm done. I just can't do this. I can't be a "C" student. I really am kinda fucking suicidal at the moment. I don't know what to do.
So, I'm editing this post to make me look like a bit less melodramatic, and to explain some shit more.
I have always been smart. It's the one thing I've always been to hold on through like everything with my grandmother, and the kids being fucks at school, and even when I was at my most batshit crazy I knew I was smart.
And now I don't feel smart anymore. Ever. I know like...I said I felt stupid when I started at MH, but I still got B+s on papers and stuff. And I felt like I wasn't being crushed under work once I got out of my Arabic class. But there is a direct causality between me going blind and me feeling stupider.
Six months later, and shit still doesn't work like it's supposed to. I fall all the time, I hit things, I'm constantly getting hurt because I can't get the difference. I was trapped home all weekend cause I can't drive. People are constantly making jokes about my eye patch, and little kids are scared of me. And like...I feel so stupid, cause I'm killing myself and still am only to get "C"s. That is the worst part of it for me....I've gone from having no effort at all, to like...having migraines and shit. I'm worried I'm becoming addicted to pain drugs.
And most of all, I just feel like hell. The one thing that always worked to make myself feel better about shit...just isn't working.
I have no idea what to do about any of it.

Mar. 24th, 2008 12:57 pmSo yeah, twenty pages of writing pulled off, which means ten wasn't. I'm gonna try and work on it after the classes I am entirely unprepared for today. I know I said I was okay with it, but right now it really makes me feel like a colassial failure. I just don't know. I can be a C student. I really can. And I'm hoping that maybe I'll pull off some sort of magic in the library after classes, but I totally doubt it. *Sigh*
