Does anyone else feel like they no longer have a life?

[lunarbeetle]

Yes, this is going to be one of those posts, wherein I bitch about my life. You ready

okay, remove the yom kippur parts, remove crew, add in a job and 8 hours of tutoring per quarter and basically you have my life. and you're not going crazy. or at least we're all going crazy together. I don't have a social life at all - no one even eats lunch together any more. it's really pathetic. maybe we should petition the universe slash our solar system to make an extra day every week just for us to get caught up and have a normal life and more than, say, five hours of sleep a night.

Dude, the lunch thing really bothers me. I spend my lunches either doing homework (usually for Carton's class) or chasing down Ms. Abrams. The few lunches I do have off, I sit at the tree alone, because everybody else is doing one of the aforementioned activities.

I definitely agree on the extra day thing. Definitely.

Oh, the elusive Ms. Abrams.

We should obviously coordinate lunch - get people there on a certain day (how's Friday?) and then we can all hang out. And make sure everyone's alive.

yes.

I second the whole lunches are fractured type thing. Because every once in a while, there'll be a few of us eating together. And the rest of the time people are off working on one thing or another.

But call me if you're not crazy busy, and want to just chill and eat lunch. everyday but wednesday I have nothing that I have to go to, and I don't do homework at lunch. every once in a while I go to lunch with Sira and Jessie, but other than that...

Also, yes, I definitely have next to no life. School and homework, G&D, and feeling guilty about the college stuff that I'm not doing. Occasionally there are tv get-togethers with various people, but those have died now that we're moving into full-throttle first-semester-of-senior-year life.

sigh.

oh, and p.s., you're not crazy. I'm definitely behind in some of my classes. aka MATH and econ. our math class is over my head and I haven't done any work since our study-session thing, and I'm behind in econ. and i'll be even more behind in everything after my trip. yay.

Basically, I have concluded after extensive research that senior year sucks. These findings will be reevaluated starting mid-January, but for now, my point stands.

Also, math is the worst class EVER. Econ's not so bad, but it's SO MUCH READING. Although it works better when I read the book in class instead of listening to Powers talk about the Chinese peasants and how we're all screwed. But you sit right in front, so that might be an issue.

Oh man.

So not fair. That's exactly how I felt last weekend, when I spent the entire time working and still didn't even have time to start the two essays I'd wanted to do. And it wasn't even an issue of procrastination this time, it just wasn't humanly possible to do everything. And when I manage to get all my work done on a school day, and practice piano and singing, and realize that it's only 8:30 or so, which is rare enough, I'm too exhausted to enjoy relaxing for a few minutes and just reading a good book. Basically, if you turn yourself into a working-robot, there just isn't any room left to feel like a human too.
Ah, complaining.
We should still hang out sometime, though.

[lunarbeetle]

I agree with all that. Especially the part about being a working-robot. And the we-should-hang-out-even-though-we-have-no-time part.
