Brain don't fail me now!
Oct. 9th, 2004 08:34 pmGot the results of my dreaded lab practical back. I didn't do nearly as bad as I thought, but a solid B isn't going to help my nursing school chances at all. Hopefully this one is going to end up being my lowest (and therefore dropped) exam, so I can get that A+ I always dreamed of (I love the +/- grading system, something they didn't have at Brown).
Work today was very tiring. I think the weariness started from yesterday. Chem Lab was a trial, and I came home extremely spent. I washed up and hit the sack around 8:30. My aunt called and asked us to come over at some insane time. Well, insane for me, seeing as I was wearing sleeping clothes and under my covers when he came 'round knocking on my door at 10 - the "he" being my brother bearing the message. I wasn't leaving for anything, and I told him as much. I had to wake up for 6 AM, but even though I was exhausted I didn't sleep straight through. I sort of laid there, then put the TV on periodically, surfed the web, then went back to bed.
Of course, when the alarm went off I took it back off and went to bed. Luckily I woke up at 6:45, and managed to get to Brookdale only 5 minutes late. Felt like shit on a stick, though. And I had to run the bowling alley again. The kids can be great, but dealing with their racket is just...ugh. I went from 6:45AM to 4:10PM in a flickin' daze. It was ridiculous. And the subway ride home was almost painful. I can't see myself doing this anymore, especially if the Gamestop thing pans out. I love 'em, but I can't deal with the leg pains and the lack of sleep (the former most likely related to the latter).
THEN...I seem to have pissed off my aunt by not wanting to go over her house tonight. I just don't have the energy. Seriously. I thought I had mono, or had been bitten by a tick that was on Krishna and got infected by some random parasite, until I got home and perked up a little. I think I just have had too much of dealing with others. I need some down time. And I know I'm going to have to deal with her bitching to other family members about how I didn't want to come over. When she called, I tried to be as polite as possible, but she just kept pushing. I had to come right out and say "I really don't feel like leaving the house tonight".
So now, I'm sitting in my room, reading over my Bio notes in preparation for the test on Thursday.
