icarusHa. I have tiger stripes.
Getting my hair dyed is too expensive and I'm never doing this again. But for the summer, just this once, I have stripes. Like a tabby cat. I'd post photos but 1) the camera battery won't recharge and I can't figure out what's wrong, 2) I don't post photos of myself anyway.
Now, if my cramps would just settle down and I could please stop feeling like crap, I would be much more pleased about this. I realized my general discomfort is making me see the dark side of everything.
I'm having doubts about doing the summer language intensive, which starts tomorrow. My funding hasn't come through because of a screw-up with my FAFSA (the system didn't want to take the real numbers last January and now I have to turn in all this paperwork, which means I have to dig up my tax forms, and they're buried). So the school's asking two grand that was supposed to be covered by financial aid. It's a language intensive and I'm beginning to get the idea that this is going to be brutally hard and take up all the time that I should probably be spending on my thesis this summer. Yes, I got accepted to the honors program. I find myself less than happy at the prospect, largely because I got railroaded into a topic I don't want to do. They critiqued my writing heavily (and well they should have, it was terrible) but the research they liked and based on that they gave me a 3.9. *splutter*
I've had one week off since finals, school starts tomorrow, and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wildernessguru took a week off at the same time--which should be great, but in actuality turned out to be him taking much of my time on the computer. We had a wonderful time rolling around in the bedroom Friday night but this damn period and my general bitchiness cut off anything else this weekend. I was supposed to go to a public talk by Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche and I feel like shit. I didn't get much done on Out Of Bounds and this one scene won't bloody well cooperate. I finished the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
mcshep_match fic and am quite happy with the story but I have to wait and--
*grumble, grumble, grumble*
You get the idea. On cramps, the whole world is a terrible, terrible place. I'm drinking beer to deal with the backache. Send chocolate. Or recs. Read anything good inkink_bingo lately?
