Day 61

I am very tired right now. Nearly everyone I've talked to (or taken the time to talk to) has told me I look it. It's that time of the quarter. Professors are starting to want the papers they've assigned, in addition to the reading they've assigned. I honestly don't remember being this tired and stressed out, and I've realized that when this happens I basically don't want to do anything at all but listen to my music. There are about 6 people with whom I can hold a conversation. Everyone else, more or less, gets ignored.

It was a good call to not take that FedEx job. And my Beta/Gamma RA buddies are reporting ridiculous amounts of work to be done up on the Ridge: One-on-Ones with every resident (at least 32 per RA) to be done by Thanksgiving break. Which, at weeks 8, 9 and 10, is nearly impossible. In fact, I would say that it is. Unless you are taking about six credits of school and your residents respect you fully and do everything you say (and have nothing better to do with their time but meet with you.) In addition, from what I hear, a write up is required to be submitted on each resident reporting on their growth and what they expect out of school.

GROSS. No thanks. They don't get paid enough.

Life is stressful, and I'll hope to be sleeping pretty soon. Tomorrow is a holiday. Which really doesn't mean anything different for me because I don't have school on Tuesdays anyway. So it'll be just another day in the life for me. I've got a ton of work to do. And it's supposed to rain, so I'll be stuck inside anyway.

I'm going to finish my Ramen, make some tea, read some Macho Paradox, and go to sleep. Must... make... it... through... Wednesday...AAAAAAAAARRRRRRGH.
