This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Trust my rage

Happy Birthday Owen!

{{{vw}}} FWIW, I think if you can physically handle it, you should go to class. Even if you aren't prepared, you will learn/better understand that material by being there and that's the purpose of going to class.

Also, please don't feel like a failure. You may not be paerfect, or have perfect attendence but that done not equal failure.

eta: and just to prove to self that i'm getting over my own perfectionist issues, i'm leaving my typos. so there.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

Happy Birthday, Owen!

{{{vw}}} I'm with Steph... you are NOT a failure!

But I don't have the work done and...and...I don't know what to do.

Not having the work done may put you in an awkward position in the class for that day but is totally worth it if it means you don't feel like a total failure for the day. It probably doesn't mean you won't be able to participate in class discussion even if it's just by listening. And you'll be able to hear the professor's lecture (if it's that kind of class). I think it's a mistake if you are using not having the work done as an excuse for not going to class at all. I feel like that would just compound the problem.

(I feel like that sounds lecture-y and I don't mean it to. I just want to reassure you that not having the work done is not a huge deal and shouldn't get in the way of you getting something out of a class anyway.)

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

-t, I love your tag. I almost considered pulling that to use myself.

BWAH! (points upward) Simultaneous tagging!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

and just to prove to self that i'm getting over my own perfectionist issues, i'm leaving my typos. so there.

I was just going to ask you to please please not fix them, they really add to your message.

(eta: Heh, I have the more obnoxious asscaps)

At least they are serving a purpose.

And now, I'm going to watch last night's Grey's Anatomy . It's sad how much I've been looking forward to this (like since yesterday afternoon). Also, I have chips and root beer to eat with my turkey and cheese sandwich. When I'm done, I will take a nap. Such a good afternoon - it almost makes up for being Monday.

Mostly lurking...

I can't stop crying, but I'm gonna try to go. I'll talk to you all later.

What is even happening?

I hope you can get the crying all out. You'll make the best choice for yourself.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Aimee, I still get homesick for Philly. I could go there, kill her for you, pick up a cheesesteak, and finally meet my friends' new babies. Want me to?
