Back to work after a very pleasant (but far too short) holiday. I've hardly done anything today, and I don't suppose I'll accomplish much at all until the new year when nothing's before me except a few bleak months of Ohio winter ( Read more... )

As soon as I complete my biology exam tonight, my semester will be finished! I am so happy I'm almost delirious. I took eight hours of vacation time yesterday to study and finish my short story submission for Kent Stark's creative arts publication. It would be swell if it got chosen, but more than anything I'm proud of the fact that I actually ( Read more... )

So, yesterday I took the civil service examination for that job with the City of Akron. You could tell that the test was specifically tailored for the position, as it included a lot of math and questions pertaining to very formal clerical functions within a city government. I took almost the entire time allotted to complete the exam, which was ( Read more... )

I have been very anxious and overwhelmed lately. Not only do I have so much to tend to before the semester concludes; I also have an examination on Wednesday for this position I applied to with the City of Akron. It isn't quite an interview, but I can only assume that this is the first step in getting one. At least I've gotten this far, for I ( Read more... )

I took an antihistamine this morning so as to conquer a tiny fit of allergies. Needless to say, my lethargy has given way to what can only be described as complete ineffectiveness and a desire to ignore everyone and find a small corner in which to fall asleep. Joey has tried to get my attention but I pretend as though I'm focusing intently on ( Read more... )

I just took an unexpectedly difficult exam in my I/O psychology class, and now I am sitting in one of the computer labs as I've got some time to burn before I have to head up to my second class. I was actually planning on going over the lecture slides for the upcoming course material in biology but they aren't posted, thus leaving me bored and ( Read more... )

I get so sick of trying sometimes.

I am empty, and if it wasn't for the great love that I know resides within me, I would give up.

I haven't come here to write much lately. I've actually taken to writing with just a plain ballpoint pen and paper, which in some way makes me feel unburdened and far less scripted. I don't feel like I have suddenly become more private, though. I can, of course, choose that for myself using an electronic format if I want. It just feels quite ( Read more... )

I am mostly well again - I'm still a little sick but functional, which is good enough for me. The minutes are just inching by today and I feel restless, both physically and emotionally ( Read more... )

I don't know why I am at work right now. I feel like hell. It started yesterday afternoon and got progressively worse throughout the evening. I feel like I'm swallowing needles and my bones ache; all of this is punctuated by sharp chills and fatigue. I don't usually get sick but when I do I don't care about anything and all I want to do is ( Read more... )
