Day 22 | Thursday, January 22 | 2009

Caitlin...

Motivation is low.  This week has been crazy.  I am really stressed out right now as I am trying to figure out if I will be studying in Ecuador this Spring.  It doesn't help that it is below freezing temperatures outside every day and that school is in full swing.  Most of my classes involve HEAVY reading -- about 40 pages per class a day.  The days just go by and I don't know what happened to my time.

I feel like I am slowly going crazy.  I don't know if I even want consolation but I just want to vent on my frustrations.  I am lucky for the ones that love me and the ones I love.  

I am writing this as I am sitting in my Documentary Genres class.  We are watching a film called Valley Town about a small town in Pennsylvania dealing with the effects of mechanization on its local economy.  

Tonight, Caitlin will play open mic at the Donkey and I am excited to see her!  She is such a talented musician and writer.  I can't wait!

LATER:  Caitlin was great!  My mood, too, is significantly better.  My tongue, though, is hurting because of my lack of vitamins.  Every time I try to incorporate a multi-vitamin into my daily diet this always happens.  I go for about a week with regularly taking the vitamins then I forget to take them for a couple of days.  The result?  My tongue gets sore and develops little abrasions.  And they hurt!
