there are a lot of things going on right now.
that would be a hyperbolic understatement, by the way.
i'm surrounded by must-do's and should-do's and could-do's-but-you-really-should-do's... they've all become so swollen and stubborn that i can't go on ignoring them anymore. but thinking of everything i've got to do, everything i have to pay attention to, everyone i need to call and write to and meet up with gets my head spinning like a carousel. it's a carousel that won't stop, because everytime i resolve one thing, something else develops out of it, be it good or bad. nevertheless, it's all more for me to do, more to worry about, more to lose sleep over.
an example: i had an interview yesterday that i was dreading. it actually went very well, and i was very appreciative for their advice and support. however once it was over, there were two more things for me to do: write out thank you notes and call their friend for an interview with him. now the thank you notes don't seem like a big deal, but they need to be there by the end of the week. neither of them work on fridays, and my wednesdays are extremely busy, so i don't have time to write them today. in order to mail them, they'd need to be stamped and in the box by 5pm. however, they won't be written by 5pm. so in order to get them to their destination by thursday, i need to write them in the morning and physically drive 35 minutes out, drop them off at the office, and drive 30 minutes back before a shoot. you see, simple things like thank you notes aren't always simple.
i called for that interview, and got one for friday. that's great, but now i have to re-do my entire website, search through my external harddrives, find year-old photos, reformat them, print them, upload them to the template, and hope my internet doesn't fail in the meantime. i also need to remake my promo cards, because i hate the ones i had before, and print them before i head over on friday. plus, i have to figure out how the hell to get their from RIT... with my mentally challenged GPS. woohoo.
not to mention, my steamer just broke, and my suit is wrinkled. i can't get a break.
i'm finally healthy (in a relative sense), but my sinuses are getting worse by the day. i don't go a day without pain in the front of my face, around my nose and eyes and at the top of my eyebrows. it feels like someone is stuffing my facial cavities full of insulation, or something else ridiculous. in short: it hurts.
i also just found out that i grind my teeth horribly at night. from stress. i'm actually wearing down my canines, they've rounded out on the backside already. i mean, i knew i have a lot of "teeth falling out" dreams, which is an indication of stress, but i didn't realize that when i was grinding my teeth in those dreams, i was doing it IRL as well. now i need a brace to cut out 60% of my jaw strength at night. bummer, dude.
everything else that's going on is relatively standard: multiple photo projects i don't have time for, models backing out or not responding, business classes that make me wonder why i'm a business minor, history class technology failure that make me want to slap my professor, the general annoying quality of RIT students, and my lack of free time. so there isn't much there to talk about, unless you want to hear me complain for a few more pages. which i will spare you from. because even i don't like to hear myself complain if it has no witticism weaved into the story.
did i mention that i found one thing that never fails to satisfy?
chamomile tea.
i love you.
