Test week hell
13 years ago
Don't expect this to make one lick o' sense. I would hate to dash your dreams from your mind and throw them to the fishes in the lake. But, hey! That's what expectations do.
Why is it that classes always line up that each time tests/exams roll around, they are all within a couple days of each other. This week I ended up with an O-CHEM II and a Biochem exam both on Wednesday, and Medical Entomology lab exam on Thursday. Then I shall come home Thursday to crash, and drink a nice beer that night. A Scottish import, Brew Dog's Paradox Glen Grant, aged in a 1970 Glen Grant Speyside cask. Should be quite an experience, I hope.
So last night/late afternoon, my roomie and I went out for a bit, then came back home and had some fun. We jammed (while drunk and rather stoned, I have to admit) for a few hours. It was amazing, the sounds and noises that just a guitar run through a couple amps can create. We ran from metal to noise to blues to punk, a bit of whatever came to our rather well fueled minds. Was a great way to let off some steam and ease my over-wound nerves and anxiety issues of late.
[As fun as it was, though, I don't plan to do so again anytime soon - it makes me too tired, and I wind up sleeping way later than is conducive to good study habits.]
After the test week from hell is over, I plan to really work some more on art and writing again. In the past two weeks I have been a bit more creative and productive than at anytime in quite a long while, which has been both wonderfully and surprisingly frustrating. I simply can't seem to keep up with both school work and my creative endeavors without leaving something behind.
To add to this stressful week coming up and all the anxiety that entails, I am on antibiotics that are messing with my stomach something awful. Essentially, I have had a minor but lasting tummy ache for the past week...
And to top all that off, my doctor informed me at our last appointment that my kidneys are, indeed, not functioning quite right. While they are clearly not filtering at nearly 100%, she said they were not something we need to worry about at this time - only that I should keep drinking as much water as possible to help them filter everything out like they should.
I am currently broke as well. Not really wanting to ask my dad for money for rent next month, but it appears that I will have no choice but to do so. I have put in several applications (both on and off campus) over the past two months - essentially to every job within walking distance or on campus (until my car is fixed, that is all I can apply to).
Also, as one last addition to this already obnoxiously un-gathered train wreck of a thought process, I am trying to give up smoking, for the time being at least. Possibly permanently. As much as I was enjoying hand rolling my cigarettes and as much as they seemed to help me relax and not freak out over things, my health simply won't handle it. And I think, since I am on antibiotics for a respiratory/sinus infection as it is, I should try to do anything I can to let my health catch up with the rest of me.
Sorry this turned out to be so random. I guess, honestly, it was just a rant on my current situation more than a journal entry.
