She Lives!

So I'm here, and not at all dead, in case you were wondering. I am however, currently muddling through the two weeks from hell that happen when my work/school schedule, midterm testing schedule, midterm project due dates, and a visit from the in-laws all collide to create some sort of f-ed up time-warp where I can't seem to get anything accomplished correctly.

Friday for example, I showed up for a midterm in my history of biology class. I had pre-written my essays per my teachers instructions and had only to copy them from my notes to the exam paper. Somehow it all went wrong. Maybe it was the fact that I haven't slept in days, maybe it was that I had to fit 4 pages of writing onto one piece of 8.5x11 paper (in 45 minutes or less), it's hard to say, but somehow, somehow, while transcribing my PREWRITTEN summary of the evolution of taxonomy I twice, TWICE (that I can recall) defined homology as analogy. Now, maybe that doesn't seem like a big deal in the whole scheme of things, but that is a big, BIG mistake for an elitist bastard like me to make. That is what I like to call a Third Grade Definitions kind of mistake, and it is exactly the kind of mistake I am constantly holding against, well, everyone else. Ugh! *facepalm* I haven't gotten that exam back, but I so vividly recall writing it out, so high on my own brilliance that I didn't even think about what I was writing until I was recounting my would-have-been victory to Goose later. I seriously hope my TA is making fun of me as he reads it, because I clearly need to be taken down a peg.

Anyway, my point being, that this open letter to you Dear Friend, somehow got lost in the jumble of chaos that is my life, and for that I'm sorry. Things will continue to be touch-and-go for at least the remainder of this week, and quite possibly beyond that. It's hard to say, I'm not good at predicting the future. I will however, work harder on getting a 'hello' in at the very least. Know that in the mean time, whether I'm here or not, I'm sending you all the love and white light I can muster, and thinking of you guys every day. I hope you're feeling better and that this week maybe brings some resolution to some of the issues you're having with your car and your tongue. *hugs*



I'll leave you with this (singing and dancing are NOT optional):



Lots of love!
