short thought bubble

i just found out that one of the faculty in my program has something similar to MS.  That makes two people in my life now who have MS-like afflictions.  it’s so strange.  you know how when you first hear a word, the next several days, weeks, months you hear it ALL the time?  i feel like that about MS-like disorders.

my days are blurring together so badly.  yesterday we had a midterm (in grad school!  who the heck has those past undergrad??) where we were allowed to make a half-sheet of notes, but because i had no time to make one, i went into it completely unprepared.  i have never done more horribly on a test than i did on that one.  i’m cringing just thinking about the results…so this is what it feels like to fail!

is anyone else ready for the winter holidays??
