Record-bad Monday

[breakinglight11]

I am stressed as hell today. Perhaps you've heard how bad my Mondays are. Today I have a non-stop day of running between classes, work, other work, and rehearsal, on top of the fact that I have a paper due tomorrow on a book I don't have that got put off because of all the other things I have to do. 

I am seriously considering quitting my CS Department job. Yeah, it's not like I ever actually have to do much when I'm there-- I'm writing in LiveJournal right now, for crying out loud --but the commitment to be there for the eight hours a week I do really cuts into the time I need to accomplish other responsibilities. Take today, for example. Instead of taking my one free moment to have lunch, I ran to the bookstore and the library looking for that book I need for my paper, but they don't have it. The only shot I have at this point of getting a hold of it in time is accessing a Brandeis database's online copy of it. But my computer at work doesn't have the proper plugin and won't allow me to download it; I'll have to do it on my own computer at home. So instead of taking care of my schoolwork, which has to be my first priority, I'm stuck here wasting time. It's nice to have the little bit of extra money, but I don't need it that badly, and my stress level has been so high lately that I'm really not sure this is worth an extra seventy bucks a week. 

I should go back to working on my lines. That's another important thing I need to accomplish, and at least it's something I can do while I'm stuck here.

*Sigh* Another obvious sign that the stress is getting to me is that I look terrible lately. Everything about me, particularly my skin and hair, just looks tired and unattractive.

I am going to kidnap you from stress.

Not sure how, since I doubt my stress level is any lower, but still.

Let's hear it for bad Mondays, huh? I had Spanish class at 10:30 but was up at 7:00 to do work for that class and another today; I had tutoring directly after and then had to stick around the library to finish my paper for a class, then we had seminar class where we're supposed to be able to share the crappy stuff we're encountering in the field to be able to de-stress a little and get advice, but class time was taken up by an extremely long presentation and then my professors decided to talk to each other for half an hour of class time, and an assignment I worked for a month on was torn to shreds by my professor who apparently thinks I'm doing everything wrong, and then I had another class and had to help run the social work club meeting because I'm the vice president, and after all of that, I realized that the reason I wanted to kill and kill again for the whole day was because I HAD FORGOTTEN TO EAT TODAY. you know you're busy when you're not just CHOOSING not to eat, but actually FORGETTING to perform that particular bodily function.

Ahem. Thanks for letting me post that here. Not that you really had a choice, but thanks none the less.

Now I have to finish my work for today (I don't expect to get it done for another few hours and I have physical therapy at 7 am tomorrow. Joy!!)
