i’m missing jordan right now. the dead sea, the red sea. wadi rum, just riding on a camel all morning and seeing the blackest sky in the world just completely LIT UP with stars as i fall asleep in the middle of the desert. another resolution for 2009 is to figure out how to stuff my life into my backpack. once i figure that out, i’m going to travel. just me and some clothes and my camera. i want to get out of this life for a few days at a time. just wander.

it helps that i know i have a brand new high sierra backpacking backpack under the tree right now.

i just want to be the best person that i can be. that requires a psychiatrist. so, in order to be the best person that i can be, i need to stop being such a fucking baby and go to a psychiatrist.

that’s new years’ resolution number one.

It's time.

For new years’ resolutions. I have plenty. And I know that people think they are stupid. But I need them. I need symbolic beginnings. I need a day that I wake up and say “things are going to be different.” I am so analytical. I can’t just do something when I wake up. I have to plan. I’m literally writing down things to do at the beginning of the year. Where to find the all-natural stuff that I want to start using. How many hours per week I need to work. When I’m going to take days off. My brain just functions awkwardly.

just kidding. tonight is crying. i think i’ll call a therapist on monday. when anxiety keeps you from admitting that you are dealing with depression…i think something is wrong.

I find it hard to be motivated to study for this final tonight. All I have to do is pass to keep my B. If I get a 90, I have a POSSIBILITY of getting an A. Obviously, I want an A. But I’m okay with Bs. Why am I so unmotivated lately?

While most people hate finals week, I, on the other hand, LOVE FINALS WEEK. Why? Because all of that time usually spent in class can now be spent AT WORK! I get to work a full 30 hours during finals week and make lots of monies! Oh and it helps that one of my finals is during dead week, one of my finals is a paper, one of my finals is a take-home final, and I only have two actual show up and take a test finals. Rulez.

Reading that last post made me hate myself for caring so much about those things when, on nights like tonight (and last night and the night before), I’m in agonizing pain and would give anything for it to go away. I can’t get to the doctor until Friday morning. 800 mg ibuproufen is my saving grace right now. Can’t eat. Can’t sleep. Can’t focus. I have no idea what it is. Okay, I have some idea of what it might be but they are bad ideas that I should not have.

I have a lot of TV to watch over the break. Finish up LOST before February. The rest of season 2, then seasons 3, 4, and 5 of How I Met Your Mother. Pretty much all of Modern Family. The last episode of Glee.

I’m going to find the perfect pair of trouser jeans. I want them to wear with sweaters and t-straps, bad. I’m dying my hair tomorrow. My mom discovered the most perfect mousse that doesn’t get my hair all tangled. I feel like a new woman! My hair looks fabulous. I mean, it always has.

All I need now are the denim trousers, and a really really great liquid foundation and translucent powder. Well and a set of Sephora brushes, because I gave my MAC brushes to my mom. I’m ready to quit looking like crap. Time to get some insoles for the heels and wear them all of the time. Spend my Wednesday nights with a bottle of nail polish and a face mask while I’m watching Criminal Minds. I’m ready to feel worth it again.

Oh heyyyy! What did I do today? Well, I went to work. Then I failed a reading quiz even though I actually read everything. Then I had a nervous breakdown in a professor’s office. Ever since then, I’ve been at home, trying to finish my research paper. When’s it due? Oh, in 7 hours. I only have HALF OF A PAGE LEFT. But that’s it dude. There’s nothing else to say. I’m shot.

I’ve decided to go backpacking through europe. So typical, right? I don’t care. I want to see the world. I’m not sure when I’ll go. I can’t go this summer, I need to take a lot a lot a lot of summer classes. Maybe during Christmas next year? I don’t know. I need to get away.
