So...I didn't mean to be tipsy. My bigmeanexam is on Wednesay. I've been studying my ass off. The only times I'm really not studying is when I am in transit or in the shower. Anyway. Apparently my fooling around with birth control has resulted in me being a huge lightweight. Huge. As in, this much wine should not do this to me. Anyway ( Read more... )

Neuro continues to beat all of us down. It's just hard. Really, really tough to remember all of the complicated pathways and how they fit together. It's oppressively overwhelming. And since my building is switching from boiler heat to furnace heat there are men putting in duct work all the time and not allowing me access to anything besides the ( Read more... )

I've been thinking a lot about the future. Granted, I've always been one to do that, but this time I'm thinking about it less romantically and more with a sense of anxiety.
