I've got a bone to pick
With the person who invented sinus infections and migraines….especially simultaneously. For 3 days now.
Sometimes you just outgrow people. Don’t try to fix or repair, just accept it and move on.
I need to learn how to do this.

101 things in 1001 days Progress?
I started this on my LiveJournal in Feb 2009. I deleted that at least a year+ ago. I posted this when I first started my Tumblr in 2010…my “finish date” passed last month, lets see what I have accomplished.
Strikethroughs were accomplished by September 2010 when I posted it on Tumblr.
Regulars have not been completed.
Bolds have been completed between September 2010 and Now...

Impromptu Half Day
Put in 4 hours at work and decided early on that since the internet was out, I’d be out after half a day.
Granted, the internet came back 30 minutes before my half day was over but I had already decided I was leaving.
So instead of working for 4 more hours, I went to lunch at Olive Garden with Linds. Now I’m going to hit up Bath and Body Work for some 6 for $20 hand soaps.
After...

End of the Fall 2011 Semester
This semester was terrible for me. For the first time in my academic career I just didn’t care - nothing could get me motivated, I was disconnected, disinterested, and indifferent to grades.
I worked hard, for the most part. But the level of procrastination and indifference I experienced was never before felt by me.
I don’t know if it was because I was simply burnt out, having been...

I want nothing more than to be done with school for the semester.
I have 1 final left, take home. 4 questions. I’ve completed 1 out of 4.
I have zero desire and zero motivation to finish it.
This semester has been awful, I have lost all drive to finish grad school.
I would rather be doing anything else than staring at a screen trying to finish.
