I can't concentrate even though I got a whopping six and a half hours of sleep last night (that's the most I've had all week). I think my stress level has reached a peak now after a month and a half of non-stop commitments. My resting heart rate has reached 102 per minute! This can't be normal.
But to keep things in perspective, I was speaking to someone who is has seven midterms and two assignments due in the next two weeks. And my grad student was hit with a horrible gum infection over the weekend that has made her entire right side of her face swell up so that now she can hardly see out of one eye. I'm quite lucky in comparison.
Plus the scab on my lip has finally fallen off! This scab wasn't from the usual cold sores I get during stressful times, but rather from a painful blister after being scalded by hot cheese off of a slice of pizza. Oh, you think cheese is your friend, but it's got a dark side!
And I have been quite amused by people's diplomacy skills. Judge this situation for yourself:
Carol to me: "Argh!! Look at this big hole gauged from my ice cream!! (pulsating forehead vein pops out) WHO ATE MY ICE CREAM?? THIS IS MINE MINE MINE!! It must be Bob. (nostrils flaring, eye slightly twitching) Oooh, I'm going to tell him to stop TOUCHING MY FOOD!!!"
Carol to Bob: "(in a nice, happy tone) Hey, did you eat the new ice cream in the freezer? Because I bought it for myself."
(Bob apologizes for eating said ice cream.)
Carol to Bob: "(non-chalantly, like it's no big deal) Oh whatever. That's alright. Don't worry about it. (happy laughter ensues)"
And this is me in the same situation:
Me: "IF YOU EAT MY ICE CREAM AGAIN, I'M GONNA CRAM ALL THAT SWEET BUTTERY GOODNESS UP YOUR BUTT!!!"
Yes, I have got to learn to be a little more diplomatic. Or perhaps it's anger management classes I need.
