Things that have pissed me off in the last week:
-Unbearably hot weather sometimes mixed with a healthy dose of humidity.
-My ability to just miss every form of public transportation and have to walk home in aforementioned shit weather.
-The cadence of our translation professor's voice that basically makes it sound like he's always saying "God, you idiots, why don't you ever get it right?"
-This same professor's self-important habit of canceling class with a minute's (or no) notice, or switching the final to next week without telling anyone.
-Allowing myself to pay 4.40 for a diet Pepsi in a café by the Luxembourg gardens.
-People throwing a hissy fit and nearly reenacting the storming of the Bastille in one of my classes at Paris III because half of them failed the midterm.
-The fact that half of them failed the midterm and then bitched about it, after not showing up to class or doing the work.
-The fact that the professor could fail half the class and did, the fact that even if you show up to class and write four pages like she asks, you don't automatically pass.
-My neighbors deciding to feng shui their apartment at 2:30 in the morning when I have class at 10.
-Cutting into a delicious looking strawberry to find a family of maggots living large on the inside. (Large in every sense.)
-The fact that now I can no longer bring myself to buy strawberries even though they are one of my top five favorite fruits.
Things that have made me happy/things to be happy about:
-Talking to my mom and grandma on Sunday.
-Delicious fruit tart today at lunch.
-Getting the highest grade in the class on that midterm half the class failed.
-My neighbor's apartment being too hot for him to walk around clothed.
-This is quite possibly my last week of academia ever.
-My brother and his friend are coming to visit in a week!!
-I finally figured out how to use my convection oven and have been making cookies nonstop (yes, they are break 'n' bake cookies, since I don't have ANY baking equipment in my kitchen).
-Coming home to friends and family (and In-n-Out) in a matter of weeks.
Things I'm currently freaking out about:
-Thesis defense on Monday at 10 and I haven't started working on it.
-I still don't know what I'm going to do with my life, blah blah blah.
-Re-staining a patch of my kitchen counter I inadvertently sanded down with the rough side of a sponge. (Will coffee work? That's my current plan of attack.)
Things are much more comprehensible in list form, don't you think?
