Getting beat up in a dark and unliked alley

Not literally, just figuratively.

Geez, this semester got hard fast. At first it felt like a nice little ride, not too much homework. Then, all of a sudden, woosh, like a roller coaster you find yourself going at top speed and afraid you might lose your glasses. I hate roller coasters. Of real and metaphoric kind.

One of the problems is that all of my physical work is to be handed in from Monday to Wednesday. I got heat transfer (That got crazy hard, and fast!) and one of my labs on Mondays. 2 assignments on Tuesdays. Plus whatever the senior design class decides to throw it you. It's hectic. I don't want to drop anything cause I ain't a quitter, but we are on very sketchy terms with some of these classes.

Things I need to do ASAP:
REC LETTERS!
MATH GRE in NOV!
FE EXAM?!
GRAD SCHOOL!

I really do miss video games. I got no time.

I just came down with a viral infection last week, and add the stresses of being a senior in college, yeah, I got sick. Not too bad, though. Doc gave me some stuff. Although now as I type this I'm not feeling all that hot. Actually, I do feel hot. That can't be good...

My cousin's birthday is today. I had no idea what to get him since he and my aunt pitched in to get me the laptop which I still mostly use for watching Sesame Street on YouTube. All I could get him was a new pair of sunglasses (Someone swiped his pair when he was at work) and a DVD of Sonic The Hedgehog I had never heard of before, Sonic Underground or something. Ooh! Let's look it up!

There is a delicate balance between sleep, homework, and general well being. Right now 2 of them are in the backburner, nudging me gently ever closer to the danger zone and relapse.

And for some unknown reason, "All these things I've done" by the Killers popped into my head. I got soul, but I'm not a soldier. You know you gotta help me out...

Oh, that's why: the word 'backburner'. Blast ye, tangents!
