Thanks Jenny!

Last night I talked to my friend Kim, whom I met while Habitat-ing. She personifies just about everything I like about the south - friendliness, good cooking, genuine consideration and politeness, and a sense of humor. She's finishing up a nursing program in Alabama, and she's pretty excited to finish up and get through it all. When I talked about how stressed I am about my finals she said, "Girl, I told you, we claimed it! You ain't got nothin to worry about!"

OK, that's a slang that I don't really know, but I get the meaning.

It's comforting, but I'm not relaxed.

This VERY IMPORTANT MEMO due on Monday - I'm fucked. I just tried to write the section I'd been putting off, and it's impossible based on the information I have. And, the last moment to ask questions was 5 pm yesterday. No wonder she was asking me how I was doing on that section. Why on earth did i put it off? Oh my. And I was talking to a guy who got a crappy grade last time because he misread something - which is exactly what I'll be doing now. All my work will be in vain if I'm wrong on an argument.

My brain is fuzzy and I'm overwhelmed - and I MUST finish outlines this weekend because I'm leaving town and then I have to start practice tests when I get back because my first exam is December 4th - and it's the hardest one by far. OH MY SOUL.

I wish I could function on little sleep, but I can't at all. Sigh.
