Scarred For Life
So...
Sometimes you see things that no human being should ever have to witness. Sometimes you are completely unprepared for these things you see. Sometimes the shock of having seen these things causes you to go into a cold sweat for hours. Not even talking about it will help. These images are burned onto the insides of your eyelids, and trying to go to sleep only makes it worse...the images invade your dreams...you can't sleep, you can't concentrate on anything, food has lost its flavor.
Sometimes, the sight of your boss jogging is enough to warrant workman's comp and a free stay at a mental health clinic.
Not that this happened or anything. 'Nuff said. Let's talk about something else.
Oooh...I know! We can talk about the fact that tonight is my precalc final and afterwards I intend on going out and partying myself into a happy, stress-free oblivion...which shouldn't be too hard since I have been going on 4 hours of sleep or less for the last couple of days so I already have the oblivion part down.
Tomorrow morning Chris and I take off bright and early for points far east (well, farther east than the Midwest...it's in a totally different time zone! That counts!). I'm going to find the most fabulous apartment I can afford next fall as a lowly, impoverished grad student. Yay me.
