pretty pathetic

i've been feeling pretty tired and overwhelmed this week. it all got off to a poor start on sunday, when instead of going to bed early as i try to do, i got a paltry five hours of sleep. monday is traditionally a late night because i have class until 7pm and then oodles of reading for tuesday, which i did not complete, which only meant that my reading continues to pile up through the week as i attempt with futility to catch up with my homework. i was feeling particularly low by thursday morning, having once again been deprived of sleep and failed to get to the end of my assigned reading (to be fair, i seem to have had all these non-school activities going on this week, so this is really a predicament of my own making). i woke up on thursday, showered, ate cereal, and turned on the computer, where i found an email from my professor canceling my labor law class--the class for which i have the absolute most homework, which runs from 9:30 to 11:20 on thursdays. i can't even tell you how good that felt. i got back into bed and slept for two and a half hours.

i got into school to do my journal office hours and told a friend what had happened. i told her it felt like the best thing that had ever happened to me, and she said that was pretty sad. which it is. but it really felt good.
