Wednesday Update

Ugh. I'm exhausted. I haven't been able to sleep lately. It's a vicious circle- accidentally sleep in one day, don't sleep well that night, oversleep the next morning, don't sleep well the next night. But I managed to get up this morning, and I'm going to go to bed at 11:30, so hopefully I'll get myself back on track.

I have to go home tomorrow- my grandma is having aortic aneurysm surgery and she'll be moving in with my parents indefinitely. The only place free in the house is my room, so she'll be living in my room indefinitely. If I ever want to go home, I have to sleep on the couch. My brother is moving home too, and he'll be living in the basement. This pretty much guarantees I'll be staying in Grand Rapids for a while- it'll be quite crowded and likely really tense at home.

My knees hurt really badly for some reason. Sadness.

Finished Wanting for my World Lit class. It was AMAZING! I cried at the end, and was incredibly depressed for a while, but it was still really good. For my paper I'm going to focus on the idea of nature (as opposed to nurture), how it reflects the general ideas of British identity at the time, and the way that it affected Mathinna's fate. Or something like that. We're reading Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man next, but I read it last semester with the same prof, so I don't think I'll have too many problems with it.

Umm, not sure what else to say. I just wanted to make sure that I got something written today. Maybe my goal should be to write something EVERY day, despite how busy I am. That's a good goal, I suppose.
