Bitchfest 2009

Heres the thing. I want to hibernate for like a week. Shit is hectic.

I spent a good 5 or 6 hours on homework on Tuesday. I hand sketched 15 drawings for my drafting class, wrote a 2 page paper, read 2 chapters of a book, did 3 sections of math and studied for a quiz. Then I went to Barnes and Noble and bought a writers' reference book ($60!), came home and made manicotti (that recipe is getting better, I almost have it perfected), drank wine and took a bong hit.

Yesterday during my writing class, the "lock down" alarm went off and we realized that it wasnt a drill when the teacher let some of us out for break and someone came yelling down the hall "Its not a drill! Get back inside, theres an armed man!" So we proceeded to lock ourselves in the classroom, turn off the lights and scoot away from the door and window. And then we continued class in the dark with the alarm going off for 2 hours while some guy apparently threatened to kill himself and others down by the bookstore (which, btw, I was in earlier that morning and the girl who helped me out was a total bitch, so if thats what set him off, I totally understand).
Meanwhile my panic attack level is running steadily at a 9, and Im having to present to the class. At one point, running outside and getting shot in the face seemed like the more attractive option. Luckily, I had some homeopathic drugs in my backpack and the situation ended without incident (oh and no one got shot).

On top of this, Ive had about 4 total hours worth of the shittiest sleep ever in the last 2 days. And I have a decent amount of homework to do this weekend.

Also I caught a cold last night.

The good news? Oh yeah. Theres some of that too. The Fedex guy dropped my Pilate's stuff off yesterday, I ordered a new laptop online, after today I have no classes until Monday and its supposed to be sunny and in the mid seventies all weekend. AND I *will* find a way to sleep this weekend, come hell or high water - seriously, after like 3 glasses of wine, a bong hit and a sleeping pill, I was still up all night Tuesday night! I have some seriously formidable insomnia! Also, Im getting some awesome pool tips ("lessons", if you will) from the best player I know, so hopefully I am on my way to sharkdom.

I better get to class. You stay classy, Portland.

(skip the bong hit when actively trying to sleep I find. I mean, I know it all depends, and sometimes it's just the thing. But when you want it too much and add the bong hit it can go horribly wrong. Once you're done become a Major Engineer, you can conduct a study as a side project I guess. I don't mind being the subject.)
