Okay, the test is over and after all that studying I honestly don’t know how well I did.  Half of the test I flew through and the other half felt like I was reading Arabic.  I want to say "I should have studied more, I should have taken the practice exam two more times," but really, at this point, what good does it do?  I really enjoy the class.  I do well on homework and online quizes, but the unit exams seem to kill me.  Hopefully I can do really well on the last one to bring up my gpa.

The last entry was my rant about Alex.  I feel bitchy for being aggravated with him because I know I expect a lot out of him, but it just really bothers me that he can’t give me what I want.  I really used to think that I could see him and I living together in the future.  I imagined him moving to Brooklyn with me and living with Alexis and Aric and Kate and we’d have this cool three bedroom apartment and I would commute and work in Manhattan and maybe even go to grad school and he would go to grad school and become a history teacher at a private school.  How ridiculous is that, that I pretty much planned out a future that will never ever happen?  He wants to move to North Carolina.  He’s never even asked me if I would ever go with him.  He doesn’t want me in his future.  Damnit, I need to stop thinking about this shit before I fall into a deep depression that will last the whole weekend.

So, eating-wise.  Last night I didn’t drink anything, even though I was offered a vodka and orange juice.  Then, when I brought Alex food, he offered me half and I said no.  I was staring at the mozzerella sticks thinking, "just one can’t hurt."  But in fact, it can hurt.  It’ll make me feel huge and disgusting and I would have made myself throw up.  So, when I was at his place studying and waiting for them to come back, I was having the worst hunger pains in the world.  My stomach felt bloated and painful, like there was so much emptiness that the acid was eating at the lining.  I was in a lot of pain and contemplated eating something, but realized that would be weakness.  So I stood up to get some water and almost fell over because all the blood rushed to my head.  But I got the water and sat back down and it seemed to ease the gas in my stomach.

When I woke up this morning I was going to get right in the shower like usual, but decided to lay around and be lazy.  I watched who wants to be a millionaire, made some coffee and ate a small bowl of special k.  I figured that since I was so hungry and my stomach pretty much growled all night that I should eat before my test if I wanted to concentrate.  It was nice being lazy, but then I realized that while I was writing the last entry that I still had to buy a bubble sheet so I had to practically run to the school store and run to class.  I was five minutes late, but it was okay.

So, I guess I should dry my hair and stuff now.  Oh, and by the way, I think I finally figured out why my coffee always tastes disgusting.  It’s my old, ghetto coffee maker.  Also, I have to put five scoops of grounds to three cups of water if I want it strong enough.  I need a new coffee machine.

You should look into getting a french press. It makes much stronger coffee than the machine, and takes about the same amount of time. You do need a tea pot as well, for a french press requires that you boil water, stir the hot water over the grounds, and then strain. SUPER DUPER STRONG!

Maybe you should consider eating a little bit more so that you don’t faint one day, bust your head open, and die??? What good is being thin if one day you’re dead? Sorry, don’t mean to be so blunt, but I would hate to come here one day and you are no longer writing because no one said anything, ya know??
