Please do not Disturb, but Rather Cuddle and Pet
First off, thank you everyone for your comments and kind words. It means a lot to me.
Before the awesome news of Costa Rica Monday, I was feeling a little worn around the edges.
I’ve been going full tilt, sleep is for the weak, free time what’s that, for over a week. And even when it’s good stuff, it begans to get a little much.
Then, while completely and totally stoked about this opportunity, it meant kicking things into even more high gear as I have to get paper work done by X date, shopping to plan for (do not tell my parents - I need to buy snake gaiters. Dad was already concerned about poison tree frogs (like I would ever let a frog get near me!), let’s not give them another specie to worry about), and all the planning one needs to do when one leaves her house and life for more than a few days. (Since USF STILL WON’T LET ME APPLY UNTIL APRIL, I am just crossing my fingers whatever Biology professor I get sees what an awesome opportunity this is.)
Then Bernie died. And then work started sucking majorly. People not understanding code I’d written and going around it sucking. Me not understanding the significance of something and breaking the initializing of a machine sucking. (No one blames me for that; it wasn’t some huge glaring error or anything. But still. Is there anything worse than being on a tight schedule, thinking you’re done with a part, and then realizing not so much?)
So for the past two days I’ve been laying low. Short emails. No eye contact in the hallways. Directly telling my best friend and my grandmother I am not in the mood and hanging up on them. Not answering the phone for anyone else.
There’s no point to this. Just telling you what I’m up to and hoping some of that writing mojo will work its way to seeing that I have a good day where nothing dies, nothing breaks, and people do not piss me off.
ps. Anyone know of a Wordpress plugin for spell check?
