The last two weeks of my life.

Wow… it’s been a pretty hectic two weeks there…

Ever get the impression that you are purely running on adrenaline and lack of sleep… that’s what the past two weeks have been like. The strange thing is that I couldn’t even say what kept me so occupied. I mean last week is easy enough, I had a major lab report due on wednesday, and two exams in the same three hour block on thursday. I also had a 10% homework for Physical Chem due the Friday before that, which must have taken at least 10 hours, I spent last weekend studying for the two exams and trying to get some work done on the report. I postponed my guitar class on Monday, to get some work done on my lab report, spent all of my free time on Tuesday doing the same, was up until 3 or 4 am, and spent the three hours between my class and the lab putting the finishing touches on it. Wednesday after choir I spent at least four hours studying, got up at six to continue and wrote my first exam at 9:30, the second at 11:30.

I actually feel good about all of it. I didn’t get my homework back yet, but she put the corrections online, and it looks similar, as for the exams, I know I made some minor mistakes, but I don’t think there was anything major.  I made it through the first hour of my Thursday afternoon class, but seeing as it was just a review class and I was basically crashing… I bailed on the last hour. It was actually the first time since I started school that I was home in the afternoon… I crashed for a few hours and headed to theatre practice.

My Friday shift got cancelled, so I actually just kind of vegged out at home, enjoying the fact that I had nothing I absolutely needed to be doing. Got a last minute night shift, so at least a little money will be coming in despite the cancelled shift.

Fred actually woke me in the early afternoon when he crawled into bed with me. Lovely way to wake up actually. We spent the rest of the day together, went shopping at the Marché and then headed to his place to prepare the oysters we bought, we also bought some really tasty little cakes.

I’m really proud of him. He quit smoking and drinking on Tuesday, and he seems to be doing really well with it. Granted I don’t want to get my hopes up, I’ve seen him fail at both before, but this time, he seems to be taking the right steps, and it shows in his personality that he feels good. We actually talked about it quite a bit. He seems to have much more insight into himself that he’s had in the past, or at least that’s the impression I get. He also really seems to want to me to understand what he’s going through. I’m happy to be there for him, but at the same, I don’t want to get too entangled in all of it, because it would hurt to see him fail.

But we really did have a great day. Kind of relaxing, easy, no pressure. Almost felt like when we were at the cottage. It was nice.

So I officially accomplished nothing productive this weekend. When I got home I tried to start some homework but it just wasn’t happening, Then my roommate got home and we decided to make chinese fondue for dinner, and now… well, I’m on here…

It’s ok, this week is fairly light. I mean I have my Physical Chem exam on Thursday, but nothing else really, and the week after that is fall break… and… I have tomorrow evening off, so I’m reserving it for my physical chem studies.
