The Month of Hell is Over!!!




In case you've been out of the loop lately, July has been seriously kicking my butt. Despite all the academic hardships I was already preparing myself to face, unexpected events also attacked me, leaving me an exhausted, stressed-out, woe-is-me maniac by this last week. The above picture is an example of my emotional rollercoaster this past month. Let me break it down for you:

July 3rd: Legal case study, aka major group presentation
July 5th: Injured leg/hip at karate
July 8th: Doctor's visit, prescribed more drugs (yay), resting
July 9th: Seriously going nuts because all physical activity is a no-no. Turns to cookies for comfort.
July 10th: Start to ice my leg/hip. Let me tell you that sticking an ice pack down your pants is one of the most unpleasant things in the world.
July 11th: Help cousin Kelly move in, then abandon her to my mountain-pile of work.
July 14th: Spill water on computer-dies.
July 14th: (5 min later): Cries uncontrollably for 10 min, then laughs like an insane person for another 10 minutes.
July 16th: Computer taken to repair-can't fix it.
July 17th: Thesis Defense-a presentation that I've been working towards for a year and a half, when I have to answer people's stupid questions and either pass or fail.
July 17th: Momentary relief when I pass my defense. Eat a lot of congratulatory cake.
July 22nd: Take computer to Best Buy; they fixed my computer; I break down in front of the geek squad member and tell him he saved my life. He looks uncomfortable.
July 23rd: Class final.
July 24th: Get sick.
July 25th-28th: Clean, pack, and eat.

Now, I am recuperating, waiting to fly home to Pittsburgh and take a real vacation. I think this month has aged me significantly to look about 17 years old. I can really tell now that I'm beginning to fall apart. Hopefully all I'll need is some pool-time, friend and family time, and home-cooked meals! I shouldn't be stressed for awhile now, until my internship starts and I have to look for a JOB. *heavy sigh*
