We are supposed to have a term break... key word: supposed
What is a 2 week break with multitudes of research and layouts to do, group meetings, and working around everyone's schedules? NOTHING
I want to vent and rant and whatnot, but i shall not for self-preservation and achieving karma points. Shall settle for saying that the past few weeks of school has made me pissed off, mentally tired and caused pre-pms (the irony of it). It all boils down to one particular character in the game that is called my life.
I think my blood pressure has gone up and my lifespan has shortened by about 50 years.
I'm going to die soon.
