Let me tell you how I really feel now at 12:50am. Just the fact that its 12:50am and daylight saving time has officially kicked off just makes me want to scream and hurl some rhino dung at the nitwits who continue to advocate for daylight saving time this time and age. All DST does for me now is take away a hour that I so desperately needed to pretend was still there even though it never really is while being a graduate student. Now with the return of the “daylight from hell” all I have to look forward to is to lose 2 hours that I didn’t realize was actually still apart of the 24 hour day. Somehow when I played basketball last week and was giving it my entire all, apparently my right knee did not appreciate my hustling up and down the court and since then I have been paying it by walking around like a block of wood stuck in my knee. Then when I finally got around to starting on my homework 2 assignment for my water resource class, I was working on the parts, doing the math and calculations, putting off using excel for graphical purposes, when I realized just 20 minutes ago that all the work I had computed for the last 3 days was entirely and completely and woefully ALL WRONG!!! And ladies and gentlemen, that is how graduate school goes for me, when I think I am taking 3 steps forward, I just took -5 (yes negative 5) steps back and then I am back to ground 0. What makes this worse is that this assignment is due today (Monday) and I just don’t see it happening since I have to start from the beginning and finish the next 8 parts to this problem, only me I tell you can make such draconian mistakes on homework assignments. I used to do this crap when I was an undergrad. Downright ridiculous how much backwards work and erasing I had to do. Last week, after my monthly affliction passed, right on schedule comes my wisdom teeth of horrors. Oh yes, every month, right after my monthly affliction, my wisdom teeth starts to hurt. First it starts off as a nagging soreness, but eventually the pain begins to throb and pulsate with a mind of its own in my gums and surrounding teeth until I am in agonizing pain with tears ready to stream out of my eyes. Usually if I can’t take the pain anymore, I try to soothe it with some ambesol (which makes my mouth feel like I had several injections of Novocain after being in the dentist chair) and if that doesn’t work, its onto popping Advil. Needless to say, this has a tendency to affect my mental state greatly and leaves me void of doing anything productive until the pain subsides. I said all this to say that its downright frustrating and aggravating for me, its like why me? I seem to have just bad luck at times, which is fine with me, I can deal with, but can I please schedule and plan the times that bad luck wants to come knock on my door? At least wait until I finish all major projects, assignments, and to-do list items. Thank you, that is all I ask for. But there is no use in crying, I mean all I can do is wake up, start anew, and just plow right along and pray that things will go right, or at least partly right at about 50% of the time today. Oh well, at least its suppose to be spring break for me this week, doesn’t seem like it all though.
