The Taste of Chemicals

In my mouth. Stiff upper lip. Mouth ulcers not getting better. Hard to eat what I want. Pretty docking today, despite the wetness and induced numbness from bowloader, off to starboard. Salty and bitter is the taste. Salty from the salt water, bitter from ????

So on the plate for the day: shower, inorganic class, something to eat, then maybe a small nap, then some major inorganic studying/homework. Hopefully I'll be diligent until the evening when maybe a Costco trip will be in order to get those fantastic Gummy Bears (the 5lb-er!) and other accessory snacks. Then back to studying, and maybe some sleep for the night.

And by the way, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARIEL! Although it's probably too late for you to see this anwyay, I guess the gesture's still there.

Suffering through Inorganic is almost impossible. I sit there and try to stay awake and listen.. but when an hour and a half are spent on 2 slides.. I don't get quite enough visual stimulation to stay awake, especially that soon after a crew practice. And why is it that I never seem to get enough sleep on Wednesday nights anymore? It must be Top Chef...

Ok, time for a nap.. just hunger strike for a little longer and it'll be lunchtime...

Chicken tastes so much better when reheated and drenched in its own fat that melts right over it. Yum :) Anyway, I think my cheese danish is also at the end of its lifetime. And the black from burning my pot lid that I thought was ruined.. is definitely ruined.

I never seem to wake up from naps when I plan to. Setting an alarm for 1 o'clock basically means I won't wake up til 2. I'll finish eating at 2:40, finish showering and tooting around by 3ish, complain about how I"m still tired online for a bit, repack my computer and head to the library.

I think my methods of studying are slightly counterproductive. I have just over 12 hours left til my exam, and 5 long chapters in inorganic to complete, and I'm slowly trudging and outlining my first chapter, somewhat unproductively...

Is it really so serious?

So another few hours wasted. Only 8 hours now til the exam... Watched the grassroots of hiphop on VH1, have listened to my new mix about 40 times through, got through 2 and a part of the big chapter in Inorganic. I still have the chapter 5 and 6 homeworks to complete, to finish remembering the info from chapter 7...

My stomach's been acting especially bad. And my mouth has gotten worse since I took the medicine for my stomach yesterday. The disharmony in my immune system is really screwing with me lately, as my ulcers haven't gone away in a month and a half now, that's the longest I've had them around since.... since probably during high school.

I really want to bake. But my apartment looks like a pack of angy dogs have run through it. Unfortunately, when that happens, I can't seem to do anything until I clean it. And at this point, its not much of an option. I just made myself some strong tea, and shall try to endure the rest of the night.
