The Night Before Exam Week

T'was the night before Exam Week,
And all through the house,
Not a creature was sleeping,
Not even the mouse.

But down the hall,
The lights flickered on,
And there sat the student
Reviewing Genghis Khan.


I'm 100% wide awake pretending to study right now though. My anxiety is a total wreck and of course, I was like "hey, Ghostbusters calms me down! I'll watch that!" but of course, I can't find the remote so I'm just listening to the first line of the theme song on repeat while the menu screen flashes over and over. Still kinda does the job, though.

My therapist recently deduced that I am a severe hypochondriac, and it still hits me hard sometimes. The other week, it was over the fact my calf was sore and swollen (I had totally forgotten that I had twisted my ankle earlier that day), today it's over the fact that my left temple is stronger than my right temple because I only ever clench my jaw on that side. It's like a draw bag of anxiety attacks! What mysterious disease will I give myself today! The black plague? Okay! Sounds about right!

But if you all remember correctly, in this entry I mentioned that Klepto had gone missing. Well, he ended up not turning up for over 2 WEEKS. We all sort of accepted his death and began to mournfully move on with our lives, when the other night I went to grab my tall boots from the garage when I saw him sprinting up to the door. The second he got inside, he began to literally shovel food into his mouth and drank for 10 minutes straight. Upon further inspection- he's fine. A little thin, dehydrated. But nonetheless, completely fine. It's a little surreal that he's even home and alive, though. We really did expect to find his half-eaten remains out in the woods somewhere.

I also had a show on Saturday, which actually went pretty well. I have a few really fun stories to tell for it, but they all require pictures, so I'll probably cover those sometime during winter break.

Me and Dorothy (my banjo) are actually really starting to get to know each other. Like, we're really figuring each other out, it's so much easier to play her now.

I also got a TON of material from this weekend. Like, material was everywhere. My sketch book is almost half-way full. All I need is a car to drive myself to a comedy club or a coffee shop. ._.
My transportation situation is so iffy and unpredictable right now. I need a car. But luckily for me (but also unfortunately) my now late great-aunt's car is in need of a driver, and I'm currently debating whether or not it might be possessed. More details to come.

I should sleep at some point though. That is something I should most definitely do because I am still very much sleep deprived from this weekend.
