I’ve had tons of stuff going on in real life. Most of it is banal crap they would be better served by not becoming a permanent fixture on this blog. Anyway, here’s what I’ve been up to lately. Just for the record, I love bulleted lists:

• School: Bllllah. As always, so so. I sometimes feel like I’m doomed to a eternity of extraordinary mediocre academic performance. The solution to this is to keep my chin (and self-esteem) up, and to “keep on truckin’,” as the proles like to put it.
• Sleep: Not so bad really. I’ve found that if I stay up really late on sunday, that it really isn’t so bad if I sleep through monday and make it up on tuesday. By the time I get home (i.e. Now), I’m feeling great. Not ideal, but good enough for the time being. Mentioning this to my psychiatrist, she offered me some sleeping pills, I politely denied them.
• Vacation: Winter break approaches, but this time it’s going to be a bit different. By the looks of things, my mother is boycotting the annual post-xmas trip down to see the age’d grandparents and their umbrella of spawn. I do actually want to see the cousins, and especially the new addition Logan, but the chances of that occuring are slimming by the moment.

I have been feeling pretty good lately, with the exception of having to deal with an exceptionally frustrating acquaintance I’m forced see daily. Fortuitously, I just found an article on dealing with impossible people that offers some worthwhile coping skills. Worth a read if you find yourself having to combat anyone unreasonable.

Best Wishes ~ Fergus
