They're all almost done, they're all almost done. Watch my sanity regain itself. And then fall over again. Maybe I'm just a pint low. Or maybe it's just that I've been a bit klutzy today - or maybe it's the whole "worked on one paper for a long time and got three-point-five pages out of it." Either way, switching gears is a must. So I'll go and do that, thanks.
Much love to the housemate that put something in the freezer in a thin plastic container. When it fell out of the freezer (admittedly my fault, because of I was storing my groceries in there), the floor took a chunk out of it. Must be a bad fall, because I cracked something made of significantly thicker plastic and took a chunk out of that, too, within the previous month. I don't even know the strength of my own accidents. Much love, also to the wind outside today, that was blowing hard enough to lean things into the power lines, which eventually resulted in a fuse blowing somewhere and half of the house being rendered semi-useless. None of the breakers were tripped - in fact, the computer and certain rooms in the house were fine. What's even stranger is that the stove only worked at about half-power, but the microwave was up at full. So I'm still okay. By now, the whole thing's been fixed and the lights are on again. Yay! I feel much less likely to be affected by SAD now, and I think the heating system's kicked back in, too. I heard it blowing air into the room and I feel much more comfortably-temperatured.
One of the great questions of the college scientific mind: How much vodka can you put in a gelatin shot? Apparently the answer is, more than you think. May have to make a few of those supershots before final papers are all finished, but things are looking up again. I just need to spend some time away from trying to do one paper for many hours. Eventually, my brain just huts down and refuses to work, no matter how hard I try to push it. The secret to my sanity is multi-tasking, apparently. That'll do fine for me, then. G'night, troops. Just be sure to give me five years off after I get this semester done so I can recharge.
