ten days

I have spent the last ten days going through stints of being an emotional wreck and periods of diligent working. When I can concentrate, I work long hard hours. When I can't, I hide in books, mostly novels. I am not sleeping much which makes me grouchier than normal. My friends are being patient with me, they know this period in my life will pass. My work is being turned in, on time, so my professors are leaving me alone. My 'to do' list for the lab for this semester is essentially finished so my major prof hasn't had a reason to call me into his office for a 'talk' lately.

I have not been posting much lately because I really don't feel like sharing the details of my misery. I will get through this and will be stronger for the experience.

That said, I am not looking forward to the next ten days. The next ten days will consist of filling my brain with facts from books, working problems, getting lecture notes in some semblance of order in preparation of finals week. I will be sleep deprived, hungry (because I forget to eat when I get involved with my studies), stressed due to the weight these exams hold on my grades and my future, anxious, and still heartbroken over Amy. Then, on Friday, I will fly to Chicago...
