Mar. 30th, 2004 12:55 amOne should never get too contemplative this late at night but it never fails that I do. Especially when I'm the only one awake. DH retired to bed about twenty minutes ago and is, very likely, dead to the world already. Unlike me, he can fall asleep at the drop of a hat. I got out of that habit when I left the military. Sometimes I miss that ability.
The past week -- and the beginning of this week -- have been less than red-letter days. I have been so overwhelmed by the feeling of just "falling apart" -- migraines, knee problems, and some mild arthritis to the little finger have left me eating Advil like Milk Duds; I've had to avoid my migraine meds in order to keep going to classes. Being in pain like that doesn't seem to help the world outlook at all, ya know?
I've also fallen behind on assignments. I know, bad puppy. I think I've got a bad case of burn out -- we're well beyond senioritis here. I want nothing more than to spend the day tomorrow reading the Zahn Star Wars trilogy, or maybe re-reading some of the Harry Potter books. Instead, I have to get up early and finish a paper proposal that was due Friday, and prepare a presentation on the "line-item veto" as a policy tool for Thursday morning. This, on top of the aches, as well as the looming deadlines for my thesis, a paper in Political Concepts, a paper in Statesmanship, and a paper in Policy Process -- it's all piling up, and I find I'm not dealing as well as I'd like.
::sigh:: I miss writing. I need to do some...Was always great as a stress release.
