Exhaustion

To see an apropriate cartoon for how I feel click HERE
Okay, I can do this! Been at work since oh....6:30 this morning, and I should get home around 9 or 10 tonight + that to not going to bed at a decent hour and I am totally completely ready to crash. BUT OH WAIT you say...yes that's right, homework is calling my name. So here I am on my break, my small amount of sanity for the day laying my homework out on the desk in front of me. As I open the browser I turn into auto-pilot. First things first, I must have background noise, some might call it white noise. So what shall it be? Pandora? A movie? Oh wait! That's right, there is a brand new oh so waited for Glee episode waiting for me. I can hear it now, calling my name. I log onto the site and wait on the edge of my seat for it to begin playing. As I do this, of course, as usual my concentration is shot. So here I sit twenty minutes later with no homework done. Oh, I did look at the sheet and even pulled up the site, I even typed up the header for my papers.


This seems to be an eternal loop. "It's okay," I tell myself. "Sixteen days!" That's right, I only have sixteen days until my life ends as I know it. Then its official. I will be a grown up. I graduate in sixteen days (not that I'm counting of course). Ever seen that episode of Gilmore Girls where Rory graduates and realizes that she doesn't know what to do next in her life? Well that is exactly how I feel. For now I have a job, one that allows me to see my husband most of the day. I can walk there and I'm friends with most of my coworkers. The only problem is that it is not a full time job. We need insurance, we need a cushion fund. One of these days we will have a family (two years..not that I'm counting on that front either...okay I admit it I am an obsessive counter. Odd as I failed math) and a house (hopefully sooner than later). As it is right now I am working at the college, substitute teaching, and cleaning a business building at night. As stated above life is exhausting. Hopefully in....oh say....seventeen or so days that will all change....or will it?
