Snow and Woe

It snowed today. And didn't stick, so basically it just looked pretty as it was falling. But by the time I went home, the snow had turned back to rain and just meant that I froze my tail off while waiting for the bus. And it was one of those days where the bus decided to take a really long time to get to the stop. Of course.

I'm really freaking out about finals. I hit that point where I'm physically manifesting stress -- my muscles tense up and I can't fall asleep at night because I'm worrying. I know, I know, it's really unhealthy. This quarter has been a nightmare in terms of the amount of work I've had to do and I know I just have to hang in there... 12 more days. *deep breath* Twelve really awful days, but oh well. I feel like I've been running a marathon and I'm coming up near the end of the race when I'm all achy, exhausted, and want nothing more than to just curl up in a warm bed and sleep for 87 days. *fantasizes* To add to the woe, I had to leave school early yesterday because I felt nauseous and couldn't see very well. My eyesight has gotten worse from all the reading I have to do, and then the fact that I "relax" by doing other visual things -- like poking around the Quill or watching Lost -- doesn't help. (But on the other hand, those are my happy distractions and I can't work ALL the time...) Also when I don't get enough sleep my eyes don't see as well. My poor little eyes!!!! I miss my non-visual activities like running, but I don't have time for it and now the weather's crummy.

Sorry for the rant. Sometimes all that venom just piles up and I need to let it out.
