Fingernails? What fingernails? I done chewed 'em all off
The good news: I, through some freakish miracle, managed to get an A- on the in-class portion of the Midterm From Hell. As long as the prof doesn't recognize my essay for the crap that it is, I may come out of this semester with my GPA intact. (Remember the missed philosophy exam? I'm cool there. Go me.)
The bad news: Still haven't heard from the U of M psych department about the job. I know they say no news is good news, but I'm dying here. I need to know whether I need to start keep freaking about finances, or if I can heave a sigh of relief.
I'm feeling way stressed lately. With money and school... argh. I want a vacation. Even the holidays aren't going to be a vacation though, since I've noticed several professors thoughtfully are giving HUGE assignments over the long weekend.
I haven't been writing at all, except at weekly Write Club meetings, and sometimes not even there. Writing and school, I've discovered, use similar parts of the brain, and that sucks. I miss writing like mad, but I can't seem to muster up the energy to do it. I'm not sure yet if NaNoWriMo is going to be an extra source of stress or a boost in writing motivation.
