By December 18, I will have taken 3 finals, written 2 papers, given one teaching project presentation, and taken 2 mock boards. Someone pour me a stiff drink! Being under pressure can do a lot of funny things to your brain. Like, you start thinking that the lump in your neck is cancer (but is only probably a swollen lymph node from stress) and that the weird dull pain on your scalp is also cancer (but is probably from bumping my head somewhere). Also, does anyone else enjoy scratching their butt while on the toilet first thing in the morning?
I’d like to think that I am a pretty competent person and I even shock myself when I go through finals week(s) unscathed EVERY SINGLE TIME. It’s really not that bad, I just like whining and bitching right before I have to start doing what I need to do to get through the week(s).
On the upside, I am pretty grateful, coming off the coattails of the Thansgiving holiday, for what I have – food, shelter, my health, a loving and supportive husband, and my family. I spent T-day with the Ungers down in Florida again. It was good to see sunshine again. I actually managed not to shove all food in sight down my throat. I will probably post pictures soon after I get some photos from those who actually took pictures down there. My nieces had some monster form of the Norovirus and commenced to give it to almost everyone else there (except myself and Mike, thank god). And I am looking forward to more sunshine when I am in LA December 22-30. I definitely need to get out of hokey Long Island!
Now back to writing that paper…
