I know...You're right (as always). I've just never been a girl who cries much. When my family picked me up at the airport after my dad died they were relieved to see that I was crying. They were affraid that I would just hide in silence like I usually do when I am sad or grief stricken. My point being that I have some stuff to cry about these days so I guess it is healthy to cry a bit.
Hmmm. The papers. I have made some progress...very little progress. Wed. After I read your posts I got off my butt and took a shower, did the dishes and the laundry so there would be nothing to distract me from the task and dug into the 1500 pages of literature. I read through all of the abstracts, seperated them out into logical groups and wrote out a rough outline. By this time it was 5:30 and my roommate got home. We chatted for awhile and I declined her invatation to go to the movies so that I could start reading. Unfortunately, when I started reading, three pages into it, my eyes got very heavy and I decidd to take a quick 1/2 hour nap. That was 7:30, I woke up at 9:30 the next morning. Yesterday I woke up, made some coffee and started reading...just to fall asleep again. When I awoke at noon, I took a shower and got on the internet for a bit. All of a sudden it was 3:00 in the afternoon. I started crying because I had wasted the whole day and didn't stop until my friend arrived to pick me up for dinner.
Here it is almost noon today and I have procrastinated the whole morning away. I am going to jump in the shower and give it another try. I think that I will take a ridlin to keep me from falling asleep *again*.
Wish me luck and have a splendid day!!
