“Almost dead yesterday, maybe dead tomorrow, but alive, gloriously alive, today.” —Robert Jordan

I was busy with assignments all last week, so I worked through the weekend. As of today, I’m still behind in one class and have some more assignments on the horizon.

Despite the strong odour of eschatological anxiety this creates, I’m focused on doing what I can. I did classwork for eight hours, plus two hours of studying for the LSAT with only one question wrong on a timed section of analytical reasoning. I did laundry. I exercised. I took care of myself. Lets hope I didn’t get too close to the sun.

i must admit lying around in my bed all day is not very carpe diem of me

Today was a day, I guess. I’m not sure where it went, but I’ve been waiting to go back to sleep since I woke up. My essay is due tomorrow, but I’m just sitting here waiting. I got through a bit of my linguistics notes and with some discipline I’ll finish writing some more discussion board posts tonight.

“I can’t exactly describe how I feel, but it’s not quite right. And it leaves me cold.” —F. Scott Fitzgerald

I’ll be going home for the weekend and with a minor miracle the rain will pass and I’ll be able to catch up on my coursework.

I love when I realize that I’m handling a situation better than my old self would have.
