60 to 0 in Half a Second

I don't know why, but I've just been hit with a strong feeling of dysphoria. This afternoon I was super hyper (example, I orchestrated a countdown to dinner time New Years Eve style). Now I'm completely exhausted, a little stressed, and rather antsy.
Possible reasons:
1. Health/expanding waist line
2. Looming finals week
3. Good old lack of fuel
4. 2 humongo papers awaiting me
5. The cough I'm just now getting over
6. A mild argument with roommate during dinner time (in front of whole house)

On the topic of humongo papers, J., my play analysis teacher announced today that our final exam has been cancelled [hurray!] and our final papers now count for 400 points [oh crap!]. The paper that I am currently avoiding is worth 40% of my final grade. In the words of Strong Bad, "Holy holy holy holy holy crap!!!" Anyway, I'm stressing just a little bit about this. I can just imagine myself walking to the FAB (how funny is it that the drama building is call the FAB?), crossing the street only to be hit by one of the crazy TalTran bus drivers who don't pay much attention to anything smaller than a Mack truck, and FAILING Play Analysis because of it. Ok, so maybe my imagination is getting away with me just a little bit, but that doesn't change the fact that there is a lot riding on this one paper, which is due in under 5 days and has yet to be undertook, not to mention finished.

Anyway, time to get some work done.

Laura I have complete confidence that you will be able to write your paper and not only that but that it will be stupendous! I have seen you write before and I know who taught you how to write and both are the facts that enable my confidence. Go for it girl! Love you, Desiree

Thanks for the vote of confidence Dez. It's Sunday afternoon, and my paper is still not done, but I'm sure it will get that way. Only a thousand more words to go before I've hit the minimum requirement, and I think I can find enough to talk about. Wish me luck (and hope I don't pull another all nighter on account of this paper...or the one I have to write for Tuesday).

I sympathize with your paper writing dilemma. I have a few large and extremely important papers to write myself. I enjoyed reading your blog and especially like your refreshing outlook on life. God bless.

Hey Laura-lu,
No need to fear- you are going to ace all of your end- of-semester stuff! I will be thinking about you when I am baking my Christmas apple pie. It was so great seeing everyone a few weeks ago. Please let everyone know that I am moving to Gainesville (blah), but I am going to have an ADK get-together sometime in February.
Merry Christmas and much ADK love,
Ker :)
