So, I’ve got a couple of minutes and I haven’t had the opportunity to visit with all you wonderful people yet today, so I thought I’d drop a note in the box. In thinking about today’s subject, I started to think that this blogging thing is pretty self-indulgent. I can rant and rave and you can agree or disagree, it really doesn’t matter. It’s a fun thing to do, and I like to think that someone out there appreciates my general mishaps and daily adventures as much as I do. I will be sure and update you all on this most hectic day I’ve been experiencing, but I’m operating on 3 hours sleep, have survived a staff meeting, completed my research paper, and tackled my final. In other words, I’m spent. Done. Nothing else to give. Have a wonderful night and I’ll be sure to fill in all the gaping holes I’ve left. For now, enjoy this thought……

AAAARRRGGGG ( not even like a pirate)…………. WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH ME???
I make all the time in the world to type all kinds of wonderful stories and advice as if I am the all-knowing, wonderful, creator of the English language, but yet I wait until the ultimate LAST MINUTE to finish my research paper. I think I have a seriously defective gene in my DNA that causes me to punch the adrenaline button unnecessarily and work my hiney off all freakin’ night for days in order to have the proper information ready for school deadlines. Did I mention that I’m in the Masters program for Sociology???? That means I can’t FLUFF through a research paper - I actually have to PREPARE it with some kind of intelligent thought and direction. I do believe I’m about to lose my freakin’ mind. Oh yeah - don’t mind the fact that my kid has been acting out and being a demented social outcast due to prepubescent hormones raging through her cute little head, or that I work 40 hours a day and need to be coherent and functioning in order to NOT completely screw up some poor sap’s situation for the coming school year. That’s in addition to the family that is getting ignored even though they live within a mile of me, or the softball team that I’d rather not play with because I feel like I’m neglecting all of my other responsibilities.
Deep breath….. This is so completely my style. I tend to freak out a bit when it comes to Finals and papers being due. I generally get myself totally worked up and convinced I’m going to fail. It’s not based on prior experience. Typically, I’m a passing kinda girl. Very, very rarely do I perform poorly on a test or a paper, but yet I fall into this cycle of thinking I’m failing right around D-Day of each quarter/semester. I know better, as my people would tell you, but I continue to do it, and push myself and WAIT UNTIL THE LAST POSSIBLE MOMENT to complete projects or study. Anyone out there know WHY the HECK that could be????? I could use some assistance with this - I don’t have the energy for self-analyzation right now….
