so dumb

Just home from a mind-numbingly long day at school. I stopped off at the beach to listen to waves crashing on the shore to try to regroup and refocus. It was nice watching the spray. Even though I fear it, I love water. (The fear comes more from what is lurking under the surface or from being in a boat and being sucked into the water somehow.) I think I may have to spend more time on beaches, listening to the surf to try to stop from going crazy.

I am so close to being a complete idiot. Seriously. I signed up for another 10 hours of work a week until I'm done this semester, bringing my work hours up to 33 per week. Granted, I can cut back if I need to, but why would I add extra shifts when I'm already not getting everything done? It's the money. Four of those hours are at a new, higher-paying position; the rest are just adding on to shifts I'm already working. I hate paying bills from my credit line. I hate owing money on my credit line. I like complaining about all of this.

Tonight I was at work finishing off some homework that isn't due until next Tuesday. This is good, right? For two weeks I have very little due, but then things come due every week until the end of term, another 6 weeks. I'm starting to feel weird that I'm at work almost every day. But I still haven't gotten the internet connection to work on my laptop, for whatever reason, largely because I don't have the time to sit down with it and talk it into working. This will make at least one of you somewhat annoyed, possibly angry, I know. I am concerned that the version of Office Pro I got isn't going to work and I'll be out a whack of cash because of my ignorance/dumbness.

On the upside, I will drink some beer tomorrow and may try to convince co-workers to go to the secret club afterwards.
