icarusAnother 12-hour day.
I woke to test nightmares this morning. My philosophy teacher was asking us questions about the Lord of the Rings, which I knew intimately, but because her questions were so 'creative' I didn't know how to answer and was completely confused. Of course, if I'd studied her take on the LotR I would have gotten it right.
I've been warned, I think.
I'm so busy, I don't have any time to write. I barely have time to do my homework. This morning was humiliating and miserable. I actually turned to the student I was partnering with and said, "Now it's your turn to be tormented."
It's only the third week of classes and I'm barely keeping up. The tutoring is incredibly busy. I was torn like a bone between three students yesterday. Don't get me wrong, I love tutoring. But for some reason the students get attached to me and walk right past other available tutors.*
I've a test tomorrow in Law. I've a test Friday in Japanese. I've a test Monday in Philosophy.
Fuuuuuuuuck. No wonder I'm having test nightmares.
PSA: Any fuckwit who asks me for updates right now, when I desperately want to write and
ETA: Normally I love, love, love update requests. They get the blood moving on a story, especially if combined with thoughtful observations about the characters. But right now they're a special kind of torture.
* These are invariably male and spend a lot of time looking at me while I'm checking their homework.

Can't
(yeah that means you, the person who asked for an update to Reunion), will have their nuts ripped off and redistributed accordingly.ETA: Normally I love, love, love update requests.

Hang in there. You'll make it and all your hard work will be worth it.
And I promise not to ask for an update ever. :-)
Hangs on for dear life.

Right now when I'm swamped though, they are a special sort of torment because I waaaaaaaaaaaaaant to write. I do, I do. *sniffle*
