No Quarter

The Winter quarter has ended! I made it through without hurting anyone. Last night I slept for thirteen hours to make up for the little to none from the previous daze. The house is a mess, and so is Marigold. I throw her schedule off when I keep these crazy hours and am almost punch drunk with stress. Yesterday, with two days of no sleep, I was so jittery that I challenged three people to some friendly fisticuffs. Luckily I had no takers. TaeKwonDo classes would have been nice to vent some of that sugary energy.

Again, I hope that I got all A's, but I wouldn't be surprised if I got a B in my Computer Illustration class. Really I don't want to care about that, and only look back at the quality of my work and any overall improvement I have gained. Unfortunately, I do care about grades. They make almost no difference to me practically speaking (I need only to retain a 3.0 average), but hold a huge emotional sway. Plus I like to lord them over the heads of those people who got a Fellowship from the school, and then lost it, or are on the edge because of their grades. It's like they give either fellowships or grades arbitrarily here. I don't mean to be bitter, I just am.

Packing for Lacoste, France begins in earnest now. The time seems to be flying by so fast there is barely time to clean up kitty vomit. I'll leave you with that image.
