In the Morning
Here I am, at this unearthly hour- 7:30AM or thereabouts- writing in my blog. Does that indicate fanatic obsession or a lack of life? Since it has already been definitively established, I suppose it'll have to be the latter.
I was informed, the other day, that 'gah' is in fact not my word to coin or mint. I was introduced to the wonders of the Urban Dictionary. In it, some cunning and sly person, most likely aware of my attempts at neologism, has already written a definition. To add insult to the injury, another named 'Roger', added a definition for gaa, and wrote that an 'h' could not be used as the third letter under any circumstances.
Gah.
Whatever, the case, I have a sweltering load of homework to do today. My eyes, right now, are bulging at the thought. I have the unfortunate honour of taking Physics by correspondence, an unwise decision in retrospect. Now, I'm stuck with 9 modules to complete- each taking an average of 12 hours to read through and finish. I had planned, long ago when I first recieved by wonderful Physics package, to finish the whole thing by June. I'm away all of July, so I thought I could study the first few days in August and then take my diploma. Of course the 'best laid plans of mice and men oft go awry' so now I'm sitting here, at this unearthly hour, attempting to understand the finer points of static electricity, in an absolutely futile attempt to finish a whole physics course by correspondence, before the end of June.
If I wasn't stressed out enough, it was deemed fit that I also be given a huge mound of schoolwork to complete, SAT II's to stress about and the ominous approach of final exams. This, is the appealing lifestyle of an overachiever.
I think I'm going to dive into some of that homework (I use the word 'dive' only because it is slightly less depressing then 'start') and hopefully when I finish today, at 10:00 PM I will feel an overwhelming sense of satisfaction. Yeah.
