Today sucked, partially because I got next to no sleep last night and partially because I have a horrific toothache. I am absolutely petrified of dentists, but I'm going to have to break down and go. The pain is exacerbated, of course, by my lack of sleep. But I can't sleep because I hurt so freaking much. I finally gave in and crushed up a painkiller (I have trouble swallowing pills).
I've also been stressed out because I'm trying to figure out what to do with the rest of my life. The plan WAS for me to go straight on to get my PhD next year, and I want to. I do. But I'm sick of being poor, and I'm sick of my teachers expecting me to be brilliant on demand. Right now, I'm just so burnt out that it's not fun anymore. I remember when I had such a passion for my discipline. Now? Meh.
Maybe I should head back to Ohio and teach somewhere for a while, get my head together.
On the up side, I should have the new seasons of Stargate: SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis soon. I've been in SUCH a sci-fi mood lately.
