me as 80's child grown up

Yes, I am still alive. Sorry for my extended absence as I have attempted to survive this semester. Currently, I am sitting at work...working the 3am shift tonight at the Ridge. Thankfully it has been uneventful..and I am using the time to catch up on some of my emailing, etc. What has been going on with me? Well, as I have told you I moved. I am liking my new place...and just about to get settled in there. I am still unpacking some stuff...who knew I had so much junk?? The big thing was that I got sick and pretty much couldn't do anything for about a week and a half. No work...no school...and of course the week before finals. I basically couldn't eat anything and what I did eat would not stay down. Overall I am feeling better now..still have some fleeting symptoms, but needless to say that it put me extremely behind on everything. I actually sucked it up and took an incomplete in two courses because I just couldn't sit up to write the two 15 page papers. It is all ok though...and will not affect my standing at school, etc. I am going to complete the papers over the break. Right now I am just trying to give myself a break until after the new year though. I have completed virtually no Christmas shopping..great I know. Tomorrow I will brave the streets of Lexington to do all my shopping before heading southeast for a few days. I was hoping to go home tomorrow, but I have just gotten so behind that it is not going to happen. Anyways, I am doing better now and just playing catch up. I should try to find some work now I suppose.

Writing about cognitive "overload" has had me have an overload, so I am trying to take a break before tackling my next project. These next two weeks of classes are going to get the best of me. I have discovered that the way my body is wanting to deal with all this stress is to just sleep..which is what happened last night..hence why I am up tonight. I went to bed last night with every intention of waking up at 5:30..not so much. By 7:45 I had convinced myself that I could find time today to complete the papers. Lovely..lovely. Love life: nada, nada. I suck at the love thing. Why in the world am I so stinkin' good at making friends, but so bad at dating?? Tomorrow evening I am going to see Chicago in Louisville..I am very excited about it. We have first tier balcony seats..I think I am going to get dressed up and the whole nine yards.
