soundtrak: bent :: exercise 4

- i know this is going to be a very long summer. i just turned in an abstract for a meeting i have in september and my data is looking kind of wack. do you know what means? working all through august baby. i was planning on taking a vacation at the beginning of august, but i don’t have any money anyways.
- on friday, i was working on four hours of sleep. not like i haven’t done it before (sleeping at 1, waking up at 4 to come into lab before leaving at 7 to get to class), but summer is supposed to be a slower time. i stayed in lab until 2 to work on data and this abstract. why didn’t i work from home, you ask? because you and i know i would have fallen into bed and woken up in the morning with nothing done. i was super stressed thursday/friday morning; my back was on fire. but it’s a lesson learned; procrastinate no more.
- that whole burring of the midnight oil thing totally screwed up my sleeping schedule; i’ve been fatigued through the weekend, without a good chance to sleep. i woke up this morning feeling a little ill; i’m still at home, trying to figure out if i’m going to make it into work today (as i sit typing this entry… classy)
- this afternoon, i’m going up to school to talk with my co-mentor and any other professors i can run down. i need to find advocates or this appeal is not going to work. also, talking with nic last week, i need a place where i know i’m getting the support and help that i need. we all need to be on the same page about things; things have got to change if we want them to work. i’m kind of anxious about the whole thing, because i don’t know what to expect when i go down there. i’m just praying and hoping for the best.

peace.
