01/13/2006: "The year's off to a great start"

I awoke with a sense of forboding this morning. Things seemed like something was going to go wrong, or at least that something wasn't right. At about 7PM, I received an e-mail from one of my classmates that the Japanese class was cancelled. The class that I need for my major, the class that drives me to strive and work harder to get better was cancelled. The only one I actually looked forward to going back to, with my same old teacher in the same timeslot for a relatively non-hectic day, cancelled. I can, and have, enroll in the same class at another campus, but this will be upwards of a two-hour commute twice a week. I also need to buy a new textbook that I didn't budget for.

The new textbook also raises fun problems of its own. Namely to do with the fact that I've studied the same series for the past 3 semesters and will now resume halfway through a book I've never seen.

But, I just can't really care right now. I'm more inclined to just pull the covers over my head and possibly wake up on Monday, so I can plan my bus route to class and then sleep some more till Tuesday. Of course, I don't sleep well when stressed, so instead I'm awake rambling off to an online journal that will be published for the world to see.

I had some more positive, energetic things I wanted to say in an entry I planned yesterday.. but it just doesn't seem important anymore. Blah.

Weekend plans.. despite my best efforts, no replies to my e-mails so far, so it's looking mostly free. I might call someone I met in December at the last minute.. but most likely not.

I think I'm going to attempt sleep right now. Quite possibly, my near constant campaign of sleep-deprivation is taking its toll and making things more emotionally taxing than they are. I'll sleep for a few hours (obviously I don't learn from these mistakes), get up, and probably play "The Sims 2". There's something oddly soothing in controlling other people's lives when yours isn't going as you'd like it.
