I think this might be my life when I get off of work tonight.
I need to summon up the energy to write another page tonight but I really just want to read fanfiction and finish off my bottle of wine.

Tonight was literally one of the best nights I’ve had in awhile (despite locking my keys in my car). I got to see one of my closest friends and just sit and talk with her. I made her cookies and dinner, and we sat together, ate, and talked about our lives and school. She is a truly amazing person and I love her so much! Hopefully this night will be a turning point and everything will start looking up. If not, I still get out of school in five weeks and can hang out with her and all my other friends.
Instead of writing my paper, I just went through 82 pages of tumblr. Procrastinating like a champ.

Things I need to get done this weekend:
Undergraduate Research Symposium (URS) Abstract
Art History Scholarship Letters
Turn in Art History Scholarship Applications
Email Finnish Institutions for Fulbright
Study for Biology Test
- Finish Susanna and the Elders Paper
- Make URS poster
Write at least two pages of twenty page paper on Unicorn Tapestries
- Start making Presentation for Unicorn Tapestries
Take Biology Test
- Correct Fulbright Personal Statement
Go Grocery Shopping
- Figure out who to have be my mentor for my thesis
- Start Rewriting Paper for the Art History Symposium
- Edit Paper on Ancient Greek Depictions of Aphrodite
- Clean Room if Time Allows
Work Out
So I’m thinking of dyeing my hair a light brown.
Gonna get drunk tonight and hope it solves all my problems.

Fuckity fuck fuck shit bugger!
So two of the times for classes that I need in order to graduate overlap. My Anthro 4310 starts at 2:30pm and ends at 3:45pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays while my Art History 3395 goes from 3:30pm until 4:45pm on those same days. These two classes are only ever offered in the Fall semesters and only at these times. I don’t know what I’m going to do! I have to take 33 more credit hours in order to graduate by Spring 2013. While this is a perfect amount to go into two more semesters, it allows no room for scheduling conflicts. Every class has to fall into a specific slot or I won’t be able to take it. This is why more people don’t have two majors, a minor, and two certificates. Because it fucks over your life and makes it unbearable. I can’t count the times that my proficiency for overachieving has made me burst into tears or curl up into a depressed ball over the past three years. I swear to God that if I have to stay at UMSL an extra semester simply because I can’t get my schedule to cooperate, I might just give up. I don’t want to put my life on hold for another year just to get my undergraduate degree. I have way too many plans for my life to do this. I’m applying for the Fulbright next fall to go to Finland from September 2013 until May 2014. If I have to still another semester, I can kiss that opportunity goodbye. And even if the Fulbright doesn’t work out, that would still mean that I would have to put off graduate school for another year. I don’t want to do that. My personal goal is to have my PhD by the age of 29 if I decide to go that route. I promised myself that I would not still be working on my dissertation in my 30s. I just don’t want to spend over a third of my life in school.
I can’t even deal with this right now. I feel like I’m going to burst into tears. All I want is my cat, a huge bowl of ice cream, a giant hug from my mom, and an episode of Cupcake Wars to make this night better. Unfortunately, none of these things are going to happen and I’ll have to suck it up. I’ll read for my classes tomorrow, do my Biology homework, and write one insert for my annotated bibliography. Then I’ll cry myself to sleep and hope to God that this problem can be fixed. I don’t know what I’m going to do if I can’t squeeze all these classes in. I really don’t.

A pie chart of my life.
I think I’m going to sleep now. It’s probably a good idea considering I got all of two hours of sleep last night. Ugh. Why do I continue to do this to myself?

I just spent the past hour and a half watching Wall-E instead of writing my critique of these two articles for my Medieval Courts class. Whatever. I’ll just stay up until 3am. No big. Then I’ll get about four hours of sleep tonight and be ready for my five and a half hour shift at work tomorrow and my two classes. I got this.
